Multiple NXT Talents Backstage for 9/2 WWE RAW Episode

As WWE Raw gears up for tonight’s taping in Denver, Colorado, there is buzz around the presence of several NXT stars backstage. Following the NXT No Mercy 2024 premium live event held in the same city last night, it appears WWE is capitalizing on the opportunity for some crossover between the brands.

According to a report from PWInsider, four NXT talents have been spotted behind the scenes at Raw. Among them are familiar faces like Dante Chen, Malik Blade, and Riley Osborne, all of whom have made an impact on NXT in recent months.

However, there’s one name that may be less familiar to even the most dedicated NXT fans: Syklor Clinton. Clinton, a former football player, has been active on the NXT house show circuit but has yet to make his television debut. Despite his low profile on TV, Clinton is no stranger to the wrestling ring, having participated in various house show matches over the past year, including the NXT Halloween Battle Royal in 2023.

Clinton’s presence backstage at Raw suggests that WWE may be preparing to introduce him to a broader audience, potentially signaling a significant step forward in his career. Fans will be keen to see if tonight’s show offers any surprises involving these NXT stars.

In addition to the potential NXT involvement, tonight’s Raw will feature the continuation of the Intercontinental Championship No. 1 Contender’s Tournament. Ilja Dragunov, Dragon Lee, and Dominik Mysterio are set to face off in a high-stakes Triple Threat Match, with the winner earning a shot at the prestigious title.

As always, WWE Raw promises to deliver an exciting mix of action and drama, with the added intrigue of potential NXT crossovers making tonight’s episode one to watch closely.
