Chase and Hayward clash with Donovan and Lauren

Certain to be welcome into the NXT Arena by their raucous student section, Chase and Hayward are primed for an exciting tag team collision against unpredictable newcomers Donovan and Lauren.

Chase and his excitable pupil will undoubtedly jump at the opportunity to dole out some “teachable moments” to their opponents, who will be making their highly anticipated WWE debut.

Thea Hail takes on Ivy Nile

Speaking of newcomers, the 18-year-old Hail is setting her sights on one of NXT Level Up’s pillars, Nile. Nile remains undefeated in singles competition thanks in part to her debilitating submission hold, the Dragon Sleeper, which has forced a near-instant tapout from almost all of her opponents.

Javier Bernal seeks his first career victory against Guru Raaj

Plus, in a clash of two popular Superstars, Bernal seeks his first career victory against Raaj, who is seeking a bounce-back win after coming up just short against Trick Williams in his most recent outing.​

Other dude is: Cole McKinney from Charleston, W.Va., has been honing his craft for over a year and a half already after foregoing wrestling offers from multiple DI Universities to pursue his passion for professional wrestling, going by the ring name Cole Karter on the independents.

Woman against Ivy is: 18-year-old Maddie Knisley is a six-time state champion in vault, having trained in competitive gymnastics for 11 years. She also competed on the independent wrestling scene as Nikita Knight

How do they debut new people every week lmao

I was wondering the same thing. I thought they were local jobbers at first but they had their own entrance and all.
