— As noted, last night’s NXT episode saw Mercedes Martinez return to the brand and attack NXT Women’s Champion Io Shirai. This was her first appearance since last appearing on RAW as a member of RETRIBUTION, named Retaliation. She is now back on NXT and looks to be feuding with Shirai.
WWE released this video of Martinez taunting Shirai and putting NXT on notice after the show went to commercial break following her return:
— The mysterious saga with Xia Li, Boa, their ShiFu master and the mystery woman continued on this week’s NXT episode, as seen in the video above. This latest segment saw their grueling training continue with Li delivering more punishment to Boa, but now they’re beginning to like what’s happening. It was noted on commentary that they are being transformed into warriors. This segment also shows face paint that the mystery woman is wearing.
