After several hints on recent television episodes, it seems a WWE superstar has turned heel, abandoning their current alliance to join a new faction.
In the past few weeks, Lexis King from NXT has been building fresh partnerships on NXT programming, aiming to reclaim the brand from the incoming wave of WWE NIL and Performance Center recruits.
King is concentrating on a younger generation of talent and has already teamed up with notable names like Ariana Grace and Channing Stacks Lorenzo.
Just last week, King attempted to recruit Uriah Connors from Chase U — who is also the son of WWE legend Fit Finlay — amid rising tensions within the Chase U group.
In tonight’s NXT episode, Connors and Cale Dixon of Chase U squared off against Stacks and King, with King and Stacks securing the victory over Dixon.
Following the match, Connors shockingly left Andre Chase and Cale Dixon in the ring and walked up the ramp alongside King, Stacks, and Grace, marking a heel turn and joining the new faction, while seemingly parting ways with Chase U.
