WWE NXT NEWS AND NOTES

Added to next Wednesday's WWE NXT is a "A Very Gargano Christmas."  Next week's WWE NXT on 12/23 will also feature Jake Atlas vs. Isaiah "Swerve" Scott and Bronson Reed returning.

For those who have asked about Leon Ruff after his crazy spot on WWE NXT, we are told Ruff is OK.

In regard to rumors making the rounds about Melina debuting for NXT, which made the rounds over the last week, PWInsider.com can confirm that the original plan when we reported her planned return back in September was for her to debut and be managed by Robbie E on that brand, not for Melina to return to Raw or Smackdown.  E began building to that after Mercedez Martinez left his stable, noting he would move on to "bigger stars."  Melina was brought into Orlando that week for NXT TV, but the company had a bad COVID-19 breakout and the debut never happened.  The idea was for Melina to work with younger talents and help them learn how to showcase themselves better as stars.  

Speaking of Robbie E, he has purchased a F45 Training Center (the same brand that actor Mark Wahlberg owns several locations) and will be opening a location in Baldwin, Florida.  The official site is at this link.

Officially announced for the 1/6/21 WWE NXT New Year's Evil:

*WWE NXT Champion Finn Balor vs. Kyle O'Reilly.

*Damian Priest vs. Karrion Kross.

*Dexter Lumis to host New Year's Evil.
