After officially cancelling the 205 Live show, WWE has announced the full lineup for the first ever edition of NXT Level Up.
WWE announced on their website that KUSHIDA will face Edris Enofe in the main event of the show this Friday at 10pm EST.
Both men are coming off of losses in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic with KUSHIDA and Ikemen Jiro’s Jacket Time team as well as Enofe’s tag team with Malik Blade falling short to MSK in the tournament.
The company also announced Harland vs. newcomer Javier Bernal. This will only be Bernal’s second match, having lost in his debut to Draco Anthony in January. Bernal, real name Randy Beidelschies, was signed after the tryouts in August 2021.
He’s a former college footballer, and also used to work as a hair model with long hair, but was told by John Laurinaitis to cut it off before his debut.
Also, Ivy Nile and Tatum Paxley will face Fallon Henley and Kayla Inlay in tag team action.
Paxley will be making her NXT in-ring debut after also being signed following the August tryouts. Her real name is Natalie Holland and she has a background in powerlifting and cheerleading.
Inlay debuted on the February 1 episode of NXT 2.0, losing to Sarray. She was formerly known as Xtina Kay and was trained at Shawn Spears and Tyler Breeze’s school, and she wrestled four AEW Dark matches last year.
The new show seems to be focused on the newer stars to NXT 2.o and should give them more experience in the ring.
