New match added to next WWE NXT

Posted on by Bryan Rose

A new match has been added to Tuesday’s NXT.

During NXT Vengeance Day, Charlie Dempsey turned down the offer to join Lexis Kings’ new stable. King asked Demspey to change his mind, noting that their fathers William Regal and Brian Pillman were former champions and paved the way for them to be a success. Tavion Heights cut off King and after some back and forth, King’s stable left. Heights then suggested to Dempsey they reunite the No Quarter Catch Crew for one night in order to take out King’s group. It was later announced that the two would take on King and Uriah Connors.

Throughout the last few weeks King, Stacks, and Arianna Grace have formed a stable and recently recruited Connors, who turned against Andre Chase and Kale Dixon.

Already announced for Tuesday is a three-way match between Jasper Troy, Sean Legacy, and Eli Knight. The women’s Speed finals will also take place between Wren Sinclair and Thea Hail.

WWE NXT notes: Speed tournament, Daria Rae, Uriah Connors

Notes from Tuesday’s NXT.

A new tournament started on this week’s show to crown the next number one contender for Jasper Troy’s Speed Championship. Elio LeFleur was the first to advance to the finals, defeating Charlie Dempsey. He will challenge the winner between Josh Briggs and Eli Knight in a match that will take place next week.

Daria Rae, the former Sonya Deville, was shown in the crowd during the TNA Knockouts Tag Team title match between ZaRuca and The Elegance Brand. After Heather & M by Elegance retained the titles, she emerged from the back and celebrated with the champions.

Since the AMC premiere of TNA Impact last month, Rae has joined the promotion as a new authority figure that has already created friction between herself and Santino Marella, the long-running Director of Authority.

After Chase U were unsuccessful against Lexis King and Stacks, Uriah Connors seemed to turn against Kale Dixon and Andre Chase by abandoning them and walking to the back with Stacks and King, who have formed an alliance in recent weeks. Tension had been bulilding between Connors and the rest of Chase U, as Connors had been looking for more opportunites.

Brogan Finlay makes WWE NXT debut, gets new name

Posted on by Ethan Renner

Brogan Finlay, the son of WWE Performance Center coach and former wrestler Fit Finlay, has made his WWE television debut with a new name.

Brogan Finlay has been rechristened Uriah Connors in NXT, and debuted on Tuesday’s Roadblock edition of the show in a quick loss to the returning Shawn Spears. 

Connors was part of a tryout in September 2023 and his signing was reported last December. He made his NXT debut at a live event last month with a loss to Charlie Dempsey, the son of WWE’s William Regal. 

As Brogan Finlay, Connors made his pro debut in 2021 on the independent scene. He later worked NJPW events in the United States in 2021 and 2022, including teaming with his brother David in his NJPW debut match. David was the inaugural IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion before dropping that title to Nic Nemeth last month. 

Connors also worked for GCW, Wrestling Revolver, and Black Label Pro during his time on the independents.
