Rumour: WWE NXT Star Set For Big Babyface Push?

Rumour: WWE NXT Star Set For Big Babyface Push?

Judging by last night’s episode of WWE NXT on USA Network, one of its newest stars may be set for a pretty big push in the near future.

Shotzi Blackheart, who signed a developmental deal with WWE in late 2019, has emerged as one of the future stars of the women’s division, and it looks like her road to becoming just that may be beginning.

On last night’s show, a vignette aired giving a bit more background to Blackheart’s character, which also involved her driving a tank and running things over, pretending said things were the heel members of the NXT women’s division.

According to reports, the clip was originally set to air two weeks ago but was finally released yesterday.

You can check it out here:

It looks like the direction right now for the June 7 TakeOver: In Your House show is for Charlotte Flair to defend the NXT Women’s Title in a three-way against both Io Shirai and Rhea Ripley.

Obviously it depends who wins that, but other than those three, Blackheart has been booked as one of the brand’s top-positioned women as of late, so she could very well emerge as a challenger for the title in the future. Her punk-rock mentality seems like something Triple H would be very fond of.
