With just six days to go until this Sunday’s WWE Battleground premium live event at the Yuengling Center in Tampa, Florida—part of a four-day Memorial Day WWE Takeover—the NXT Universe is in for a special treat tonight.
TNA World Champion Joe Hendry will appear live in concert, and for the first time ever, Trick Williams—aka Tricky Willy aka Hollywood Trick—will deliver his debut rap performance.
Also on the card, Kelani Jordan steps into the ring against one-half of ZaRuca, Zaria, in a rematch from two weeks ago. Jordan looks to overcome the Aussie powerhouse as she sets her sights on Sol Ruca’s NXT Women’s North American Championship at Battleground.

I’m the quiet one until the bell rings then I’ve got takes. I live for WWE NXT and TNA, I want every promotion to succeed, and I will absolutely roast the bad decisions on sight (because someone has to). Anime taught me to respect long-term storytelling; wrestling taught me that sometimes the plan is “we panicked” and called it “unpredictable.” The Miz got me into all of this, so yeah I appreciate confidence, commitment, and the art of talking like you’re already the main event. Now I bring that same energy to the page as the main writer for Late Night Crew Wrestling because if you’re not here to be must-see and tell the truth, why are you here?!
