WWE has announced the on-screen debut matches for two new talents coming up through the company’s developmental system in NXT.
NXT Level Up will, as always, air on Peacock/WWE Network straight after SmackDown on Friday, and this week’s episode will feature a first look at two new names.
The first debutant is Jasper Troy, which is the new name for Antione Frazier who joined WWE in August 2022.
When WWE announced his signing, he was noted as being from Huffman, Texas and having played football at the University of Iowa, as well as being “passionate about making music”.
In his Level Up debut match, he’ll take on a regular standout on the show, Tavion Heights.
The other match set for this week’s Level Up features Kendal Grey and Carlee Bright teaming together against Brinley Reece and Layla Diggs.
Diggs is making her NXT Level Up debut too. Diggs, real name Breanna Covington, is a Florida State University track & field alum.
The matches have of course already been taped at the WWE Performance Center prior to recent NXT TV episodes.
