In a surprising twist last night on NXT, Wesley took the stage to cut a heartfelt promo about his recent match at Heatwave,

which was nothing short of spectacular. As he reflected on his loss, he hinted at contemplating retirement.

However, just as he mentioned this, the MSK music hit, and out came The Rascals from TNA—Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz.

The Rascals gave Wesley an encouraging pep talk, ending with a heartfelt group hug.

Notably, Zachary Wentz was introduced under his real name and not as Nash Carter, his previous WWE alias. Wentz’s last stint in WWE ended in controversy after his ex-wife, Kimberly, also a wrestler in TNA, accused him of abuse and shared a photo of him performing a Nazi salute with a Hitler mustache. This incident led to his release from WWE. Wentz later apologized for his actions, expressing shame over his past behavior. His return to WWE now raises questions about his future and how he will be received by the WWE Universe.

No Heat on Pat McAfee for Swearing on Raw

During the latest episode of Raw, Pat McAfee let his excitement get the better of him while describing Braun Breaker, referring to him as a “brick house.” Despite the colorful language, McAfee faced no backlash for his choice of words. According to Fightful Select, the comment was well-received backstage, with many finding it amusing. This incident highlights the more relaxed environment WWE is fostering, especially with their upcoming move to Netflix, where less stringent content regulations might come into play.

Interesting Rhea Ripley Note

Backstage at WWE, there’s a significant shift in how Rhea Ripley is being perceived. While the rest of the Judgment Day stable remains heels, Ripley is now viewed internally as a babyface upon her return. This decision comes after a series of events that have positioned Ripley as a fan favorite. Despite playing a heel role at WrestleMania 40, where she faced Becky Lynch, Ripley received a majority of the crowd’s support. Her injury and subsequent absence from TV have only increased her popularity, setting the stage for a strong babyface run upon her return.

Major Conversations About Motor City Machine Guns

The hottest free agent tag team in wrestling, the Motor City Machine Guns, are still in negotiations without a signed deal in sight. Rumors had them appearing on last night’s NXT, but they didn’t show up. Tomaso Ciampa, one of the current SmackDown Tag Team Champions, recently posted a photo of the Motor City Machine Guns on his Instagram, sparking speculation about their future.

Fans and insiders alike believe the Motor City Machine Guns deserve a run in one of the top two American wrestling companies—WWE or AEW. Despite their long and storied careers in TNA and New Japan, they have never had the chance to showcase their talents on top-tier American TV. Whether they join WWE’s resurgent tag team division or help bolster AEW’s ranks, their potential arrival is highly anticipated.

Let us know in the comments where you think the Motor City Machine Guns should end up and what you expect from their future in professional wrestling.
