Io Shirai is set to speak on Tuesday's NXT.
WWE announced that Shirai will address the NXT Universe on June 15. With an introduction by Poppy, Shirai returned to television last Tuesday, attacking Candice LeRae.
Plus, NXT Women's Champion Raquel Gonzalez will team with Dakota Kai to take on Kacy Catanzaro & Kayden Carter and Ted DiBiase will officially crown LA Knight as the new Million Dollar Champion.
The Genius of the Sky is back.
After making her return to NXT last week with a little help from Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Poppy, Io Shirai is set to address the NXT Universe tonight.
Will she continue to set her sights on NXT Women’s Tag Team Champion Candice LeRae, or is there something else the former NXT Women’s Champion is looking to accomplish?
Find out tonight live on NXT at 8/7 C on USA Network!
