Michin made a surprise appearance on the April 30 episode of WWE NXT.
Damian Priest and other main roster stars appeared on the first night of the Spring Breakin’ special. Michin followed suit the following week. NXT General Manager Ava came to the ring and announced that the first NXT Women’s North American Champion would be crowned in a ladder match at NXT Battleground.
Several members of the roster noted that they wanted the gold, and Michin joined the fray. She said that she had unfinished business in NXT. She targeted the title, so it seemed like she intended to chase it.
Later in the show, former NXT Tag Team Champions The Street Profits appeared in a backstage segment with current champions Axiom and Nathan Frazer. They hyped up the duo ahead of their title match against the Authors of Pain.
Plus, the Authors of Pain competed as scheduled. They were accompanied by Karrion Kross, Svarlett, and Paul Ellering. In the main event, RAW star Natalya battled Lola Vice in an NXT Underground match. Shayna Basler accompanied Vice to the ring.
Update: New Catch Republic (Tyler Bate and Pete Dunne) also appeared, as they cost AOP their match against Axiom and Frazer.
At the end of the show, Chelsea Green appeared. Ava announced that she would challenge Roxanne Perez for the NXT Women’s Championship on the May 7 episode of WWE NXT.
