The identity of The High Ryze was unveiled on this week’s episode of WWE NXT.
During Tuesday night’s show, Wes Lee, along with Tyson DuPont and Tyriek Igwe, adopted the name before Lee’s match against Tony D’Angelo.
The Undertaker and Bubba Ray Dudley made a special appearance on this week’s episode of WWE NXT to build excitement for the upcoming finale of WWE LFG: Legends and Future Greats.
They were joined by Tyra Mae Steele and Zena Sterling, who will face off in the finale at Madison Square Garden. The stakes are high, as the winner will earn a coveted spot on the NXT roster with an official contract. Dudley praised both competitors for making it this far but warned them that joining NXT means entering the most competitive women’s division in the industry — and that puts a target on their back.
Izzi Dame, Nikkita Lyons, Lash Legend, Lola Vice, and other members of the NXT women’s locker room quickly surrounded the room. The message was clear – whoever wins the contract won’t have an easy path once they step into NXT.
This is just the start.
While both are in the #WWELFG Finals, @MensahTamStock and @zena_wwe already have a target on their back within the NXT Women’s Division. 👀 #WWENXT pic.twitter.com/z1L33CyPxE
