Sexyy Red and Chef Shawn Michaels Declare NXT Battleground a ‘Five Star Meal’

WWE’s special event, NXT Battleground, took place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on June 9, delivering an electrifying evening packed with star power, jam-packed action, and enthralling matches by top NXT stars.

The event saw popular rapper Sexyy Red as the host to kick off the festivities with some of the most exciting matches planned for the card. This saw the crowning of the first-ever NXT Women’s North American Champion, a huge surprise appearance from TNA, multiple enthralling title bouts, and a night that has been etched in history forever.

Following the conclusion of NXT Battleground 2024, WWE NXT’s X account expressed gratitude to the WWE Universe for contributing to a historic event. The post featured a video clip featuring TNA Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace, who came up short in her match against Roxanne Perez, Sexyy Red, and SVP of NXT, Shawn Michaels.

The trio can be seen in a kitchen setup where Grace shuts the door to an appliance with Sexyy Red announcing, “I’ve got two coming in hot!” and Shawn Michaels humorously donning a chef’s hat in homage to his iconic DX segment from 2009 and declaring NXT Battleground a “five-star meal.” The video wrapped up with Michaels posing alongside Grace and Red, capturing the spirited atmosphere of the evening.

“Thank you #WWENXT Universe for a HISTORIC #NXTBattleground! 🙌.”

With a successful event in the books for WWE NXT, it will be exciting to see what the Black and Gold brand has planned next for the passionate fans who were mesmerized by the experience at the UFC Apex last night.
