WWE’s July 9 NXT broadcast featured several storyline developments, beginning with Blake Monroe courting newly signed powerhouse Jordynne Grace. Monroe promised Grace a “glamour workout” and later treated her to a spa day, signaling what appears to be a budding alliance aimed at the women’s tag team Fatal Influence. The show also included unannounced appearances by main-roster performers Maxxine Dupri and former women’s champion Natalya, underscoring WWE’s recent strategy of cross-promoting talent between Raw, SmackDown and NXT to lift viewership and refresh storylines.
