At Wrestlemania 37, fans were amazed by the in-ring debut of Grammy Award winning Latin Trap artist Bad Bunny. He had put in the work at the WWE Performance Center, and it paid off huge in a tag team match with Damien Priest where he defeated The Miz & John Morrison. Now, WWE is looking to pull similar magic off with Poppy in NXT.
Who Is Poppy?
Poppy is a bit of an oddity in the world of music. She started as an internet personality in 2014, playing a character in odd YouTube videos as an android commenting on pop culture. Since then, she’s become a Grammy nominated musician, who moved from pop music to industrial metal with her most recent albums. Fans of NXT should be well familiar with her, as she’s had multiple live performances and has provided theme songs for Takeover events.
She’s most tied to former NXT Women’s Champion Io Shirai on the roster, having sung her to the ring on multiple occasions. Poppy is a favorite of NXT fans, and she’s been promoted to be returning next week. However, it’s odd for WWE to just hype up a musical guest, and even order for a set of champions to take offense to it.
Candice LeRae & Indi Hartwell Are Setting Up A Potential Feud
On the latest episode of NXT, the news of Poppy making her return to the brand was used in an interview segment with the WWE NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions, Candice LeRae & Indi Hartwell. They’d rip into Poppy, with LeRae saying the following on Twitter after the show. “Uuuuugh! Are we STILL talking about Poppy coming to NXT next week? How about we talk about something that matters like…. I dunno…. the WWE NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions.”
With the return of Io Shirai right around the corner, and Poppy likely to be interrupted next week by LeRae & Hartwell, a feud is quickly coming together. Poppy already has better character work than 90% of the WWE roster, and the WWE Performance Center is a miracle shop as proven by Bad Bunny’s debut. Pairing her with Shirai would let her take it easy, but there is a great moment coming if Poppy laces up some boots.
