Tyra Mae Steele & Jasper Troy Make Appearance and Troy Attacks Oba Femi on Tuesday’s WWE NXT Show

Tuesday’s WWE NXT show also featured WWE LFG season 1 winners Tyra Mae Steele and Jasper Troy making an appearance.

During the show, NXT GM Ava was seen in her office with NXT assistants Stevie Turner and Robert Stone. Ava ordered for both of them to get Ricky Saints and Ethan Page after their wild brawl at ringside earlier. Turner and Stone left leading to Steele and Troy showing up. Ava congratulated them for winning WWE LFG and stated that they will be making their NXT debuts in upcoming weeks but first wants them to hand over their signed NXT contracts to make it official. Troy responded that he will be making an impact and it starts tonight.

In a follow-up segment, Myles Borne and NXT Champion Oba Femi were in the ring for their face-to-face promo segment ahead of their title match at Battleground 2025. After Borne and Femi finished their speeches about why they will win and their upcoming match, Borne proceeded to leave the ring. This led to Troy running out from the crowd and laid out Femi. This then led to Borne getting back in the ring and chased Troy away. Borne then extended his hand out to Femi to help him back up to his feet but Femi slapped the hand away. Borne then grabbed the NXT title off the mat and stared at it before handing it back to Femi leading to the two engaging in a staredown as Femi posed with the title in the air.
