“WWE NXT” will present a “Mr. NXT” pageant in two weeks’ time, it was announced on Tuesday’s edition of the show. Newcomer Tristan Angels, a 2024 finalist within the Mr. England pageant, who has been feuding with Shiloh Hill in recent weeks, announced the event.
Hill has been getting under Angels’ skin for weeks, and last week, debuted a silly tackle a pageant gimmick, where he has been petitioning for signatures to be named “Mr. NXT.” Following Hill’s match against Charlie Dempsey on Tuesday, Angels got here out to inform Hill he needed to show him a “lesson for the remaining of his life.”
Angels announced the “Mr. NXT” pageant, which he said General Manager Robert Stone had already agreed to. He said it gives him the proper period of time to organize to humiliate Hill, and offers Stone enough time to place the “proper pageant affairs in place.”
While Angels made it look like the competition would only be between himself and Hill, it wasn’t entirely clear whether or not the “Mr. NXT” pageant will probably be accepting some other competitors.
