MLW Battle Riot VI has featured several surprises, as former WWE talents Mark Henry and Teddy Long both appeared at the show to represent the ‘Bomaye Elders’ for the Ritual Match between Alex Kane and AJ Francis. Both men sat in chairs by the throne, which you can see below.
Henry left AEW last week and is now a free agent.

On Tuesday night, Jordynne Grace made her WWE NXT debut.
Speaking to Fightful, Grace revealed the first thing Shawn Michaels asked her when she arrived to the WWE Performance Center. She said,
“He’s so chill and so excited about this, which is really awesome. He’s all about it. He really wants to have fun with wrestling and wants to get everybody excited and hyped up and bring back the feeling that wrestling used to have. He’s such a cool guy. The first thing he asked me about, which is crazy that he even knew that I tweeted this, but he asked about the pop tart-beef contraption. He’s so dialed in. He’s so funny.”
