Schreiber has previously been a backstage interviewer on NXT, Raw and SmackDown having joined WWE in 2018, and has also been a regular ring announcer for untelevised live events.

As for the talent Schreiber interviewed tonight, Jaida Parker participated in this year’s Women’s Breakout Tournament, however took on Gigi Dolin on tonight’s Level Up.

In the end, Dolin picked up the win after hitting a ‘Gigi Driver’ on Parker ahead of the pinfall victory.

Elsewhere on tonight’s show, Dion Lennox, who’ll be part of the upcoming Men’s Breakout Tournament, made his Level Up debut against Brooks Jensen with the latter picking up the win.
