Things we'd never thought we'd see on WWE TV! ======================================================== //->> NEWS FROM THE WRESTLING-ONLINE NEWSWIRE Web version at THE RASCALZ REUNITE ON NXT- The Rascalz reunited on NXT last night as Zachary Wenz and Trey Miguel made a surprise appearance on the USA Network broadcast. With Lee losing his latest shot at regaining the NXT North American title last weekend, he was about to announce that he was leaving the company when Wentz and Miguel showed up to offer some words of encouragement. The crowd chanted TNA as their name was shown on the lower third complete with the TNA logo. "Bro, we missed you so much," Wentz said as fans started a "welcome back" chant. Lee said that he's been watching them and is very proud of what they have accomplished. The three ended the segment hugging each other to a big pop from the crowd. Later in the broadcast, the trio were confronted by Gallus, who informed them that they don't want any TNA stars on NXT. Of course, that led to a match being announced for next week. The Rascalz were a group in TNA until Lee and Wentz departed and joined WWE in 2020. They wrestled under the name of MSK, while Wentz also changed his name to Nash Carter. He was eventually released two years later and just days after winning the NXT Tag Team titles when his estranged wife accused him of domestic abuse and publishing images of him relating to Hitler and Nazi. You can see their reunion at . JOE HENDRY WRESTLES IN MAIN EVENT OF NXT- WWE said his name and he appeared! TNA star Joe Hendry was the mystery partner of former NXT champion Trick Williams in the main event match against new NXT champion Ethan Page and Shawn Spears. WWE had been teasing a Hendry appearance since Sunday, when his face closed the NXT Heatwave broadcast. He was also inserted into the commercial shown on Raw hyping up NXT. "Number one on the charts. Number one in your hearts. Joe Hendry is back on #WWENXT," WWE's X account wrote. The Scottish star picked up the win following a chokeslam on Spears. STEPHANIE VAQUER QUITS CMLL AND NJPW- Former NJPW Strong Women's champion Stephanie Vaquer has quit CMLL and NJPW, citing personal reasons. In a statement issued today by both NJPW and CMLL, they said that Vaquer decided to depart effective immediately and would not be participating in her scheduled July 13 match at the CMLL/NJPW jointly-promoted show Fantastica Mania. "Furthermore, CMLL hereby announces Vaquer is stripped of both the CMLL World Women¡¯s and World Women¡¯s Tag Team Championships," the statement said. "Both CMLL and NJPW would like to apologize to our fans worldwide for the abrupt announcement." Vaquer lost the NJPW Strong Women's title to Mercedes Mone at the AEWxNJPW: Forbidden Door pay-per-view last month. There are rumors that Vaquer has received an offer from both WWE and AEW although if she was going to AEW, chances are she would not have quit like that considering both promotions work closely with AEW. "To state the obvious, Vaquer leaving without working that CMLL/NJPW show suggests she's going to WWE," the Luchablog X account wrote. WWE STARS ATTEND NETFLIX'S RECEIVER PREMIERE- WWE's Montez Ford, Bianca Belair, Liv Morgan, Bayley, Cathy Kelley, and Baron Corbin attended the premiere of Netflix's Receiver at the Netflix Tudum Theater yesterday in Los Angeles, California. Morgan and Bayley carried their respective title belts with them on the red - or in this case, green - carpet as all of them posed for the cameras. Receiver is an eight-episode series which dives deep into the lives of some of the NFL's top pass catchers. WWE fan George Kittle, who is one of those featured in the series, was there and also posed with the WWE crew. You can see several photos from the event at . CEDRIC ALEXANDER AND ASHANTE ADONIS MOVE TO NXT- Cedric Alexander has moved to the NXT roster and it looks like his tag team partner Ashante "Thee" Adonis is also tagging along. Alexander was introduced first by NXT GM Ava, who informed Mr. Stone that Stevie Turner set up the interaction between all of them. Stone then helped someone on the phone find the office they were in and Adonis walked in the frame. The duo were part of the Smackdown roster but have not been used on TV for months. MCINTYRE SIGNS WITH PARADIGM TALENT AGENCY- Variety is reporting that Drew McIntyre has signed with Paradigm for representation in all areas. McIntyre becomes the fourth WWE Superstar to sign with the talent agency over the past several weeks after Paradigm also snatched up Tiffany Stratton, World Heavyweight champion Damian Priest, and CM Punk. Variety joked that hopefully McIntyre and Punk don't end up at the Paradigm office at the same time considering their history in WWE!
