The June 27 episode of NXT hosted Baron Corbin in the main event, and Mustafa Ali continued his program to set up what should be a great match for next Tuesday’s show. But the biggest name on the list to appear is WWE World Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley from The Judgment Day.

The former NXT UK and NXT Women’s Champion was on hand to warn Carmelo Hayes to stay out of her group’s business (the NXT title holder appeared on raw the night before to help Seth Rollins even face Judgment Day, setting up his own feud with Finn Bálor). But it also happened in the aftermath of Lyra Valkyria’s attack on Jacy Jayne, and she told the Irish wrestler she loved her style.

Another potential doomsday recruit?
