After WrestleMania 42, the WWE has been shuffling things up. They\u2019ve recently had some of their annual releases. But they\u2019ve also called up some of your favorite WWE NXT Superstars to the main roster<\/a>. This includes Blake Monroe, Joe Hendry, Jacy Jayne, and more.<\/p>\n

Last week on NXT<\/a>, Shawn Michaels and Robert Stone discussed the state of NXT amid all these stars moving on. Now there is a lot more space for these new and upcoming stars to make their mark. It took little time for that message to spread, as last week’s NXT quickly became flooded with new talent looking to impress.<\/p>\n

We saw wrestlers from LFG and Evolve come out and show that they want to be in NXT. People such as Tristan Angels, Kam Hendrix, Tate Wilder, and a major NXT signee, NJPW’s EVIL<\/a>. I’m sure that is only the beginning. We are entering a new time in NXT, and it is going to be an exciting one.<\/p>\n

None of these new stars have been confirmed for next week’s episode yet, but it is likely that they will be making appearances. Kali Armstrong, who is newer to NXT, will be competing next week after confronting Jaida Parker in the women’s locker room. Armstrong was the Evolve Women’s Champion and is clearly looking for gold in NXT. She\u2019s going to have to go through Jaida Parker first.<\/p>\n

Here is what else is scheduled for next week’s episode of NXT. Be sure to check in for updates.<\/p>\n

Mixed Tag Team Action<\/h2>\n

The AAA Mixed Tag Team Champions, Lola Vice and Mr. Iguana, will be in action next week against Izzi Dame and Niko Vance of The Culling. Ever since Lola Vice has won the NXT Women’s Championship everyone has been targetting her. However, Vice hasn’t backed down once.<\/p>\n

Izzi Dame is one of the many women looking to get a championship match against Lola Vice. For weeks she has been using mind games with The Culling to gain the upper hand over Vice, but last week was different. Vice had backup of her own this time<\/a>, in her tag partner, Mr. Iguana. The champions were left standing tall last week, but who will it be next week when the two teams face off? Could this lead to Izzi Dame getting a championship match?<\/p>\n
