Sexyy Red is on the rise in pop culture. Her 2024 single “Get It Sexyy” peaked at number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100, and her latest EP features a high-profile collab with Drake. It was only a matter of time before she explored other arenas, quite literally. On May 28, she made her wrestling debut on WWE NXT opposite superstar Tatum Paxley.
Sexyy Red surprised everyone by becoming part of the storyline involving the NEW NXT Women’s North American Title. She kicked off the show by appearing in the crowd, but soon took the microphone, introducing herself to the audience. The rapper announced she’ll be guest hosting the upcoming Battleground live event, set for Sunday, June 9, at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. With NXT General Manager Ava, she unveiled the North American Title belt, proudly parading it around the ring.
However, not everyone welcomed her with open arms. Tatum Paxley made an unexpected appearance, attempting to snatch the title from Sexyy Red, but Michin intervened just in time. Prior to her appearance, Sexyy Red had teased on X that she might lay down an RKO, which she deleted later, leaving fans hopeful for her future involvement.
Sexyy Red has been aiming for a spot in WWE for a while. She tweeted at the organization back in October 2023, asking when she’d get an invitation. The Usos replied, promising to involve her as a special guest, which has now come to fruition. Sexyy Red has also praised wrestlers like Trick Williams and the Meta-Four, hinting at her admiration for the sport.
As she steps into this new arena, fans eagerly anticipate what she will bring to the WWE, especially with her hosting duties at Battleground just around the corner.
Sexyy Red’s crossover into wrestling has already made waves, and her upcoming role as guest host at Battleground is highly anticipated. Whether or not she’ll pull off the RKO remains to be seen, but her enthusiasm and energy are undeniable.
