We previously mentioned in our spoiler reports that independent women’s wrestler Leva Bates made an appearance at last night’s NXT tapings, wrestling NXT Diva Carmella. There was some belief that the match could have been recorded as a dark match, possibly not making it to air.
If this match does make it on the show, then the October 16th episode of NXTwould mark Carmella’s in-ring television debut. If it ends up just being a dark match, then Carmella’s TV debut would take place on the October 30th episode of NXT, where she takes on Emma.
