WWE NXT Level Up Preview
NXT: Level Up is airing Friday on WWE Network and Peacock. The newest WWE Network and Peacock program will be featuring three matches Friday. This includes a Global Heritage Invitational Match, the NXT Level Up debut of a former NXT UK star under a new name, & more.
Below is the preview for this episode:
Riley Osborne descends upon NXT Level Up direct from his native United Kingdom, armed with a dynamic and explosive offense. He is out to make a name for himself in his NXT Level Up debut against Javier Bernal. Big Body Javi, however, is more than capable of spoiling anyone’s party.
Stevie Turner returns to NXT Level Up after a short absence ready to cement her name on this side of the Atlantic. Valentina Feroz, however, has no intention of being a steppingstone.
Raw’s Akira Tozawa is a massive addition for the Global Heritage Invitational, but he will face a steep size disadvantage when he squares off against the 6-foot-5 Duke Hudson. Both competitors are focused on winning their first match of the Invitational at any cost, but who will take home the victory in an explosive main event?
Don’t miss all the action of NXT Level Up, this Friday at 10/9 C on Peacock in the United States and WWE Network everywhere else.
