WATCH: SmackDown Stars Make Surprise Appearance In NXT, Have Eyes Set On Gold

Remember them? With so many wrestlers active in WWE, it can be difficult for all of them to find something to do. One of the best ways around this is to move them to a different part of the roster, which can occasionally mean switching shows. Having established names show up elsewhere can be a great moment, and that was the case again this week as a team showed up where they were not expected.

This week on NXT, Chase U defeated Axiom and Nathan Frazer to become the new #1 contenders to the NXT Tag Team Titles. Following the win, the OC’s Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson interrupted, attacking both teams and laying them out. Later in the show, the OC said they were in NXT to show they were the real men and come after the NXT Tag Team Titles. The team is regularly on SmackDown but has not wrestled on television since August 2023.

It was a big surprise. Check out the OC’s appearance and comments in NXT, plus the team on the main roster:

Opinion: This is the kind of thing that makes sense as there is nothing for the team to do on SmackDown so why not see what they can do in NXT. The team are already more established than most NXT teams so maybe they can give a rub to some of the up and coming teams. The same line of thinking has worked for other WWE Superstars who go does to NXT so maybe it can work here.
