Ladies and gentlemen, buckle up because WWE NXT just dropped a major tease for its debut on The CW, and the mystery behind the red-haired wrestler in that desert road vignette? It’s reportedly none other than Australian powerhouse Delta Brady (aka DELTA). This rising star is already making waves before even stepping foot in the NXT ring, and thanks to our good friend Dave Meltzer, we’ve got the scoop.
The vignette showed a red-haired woman walking along a lonely desert road toward a city with a sign reading “NXT” in the distance. Subtle, right? Well, fans can stop guessing, because Meltzer confirmed it’s Delta Brady, a former champion in Riot City Wrestling and Melbourne City Wrestling—two places where Australian wrestling fans will tell you the competition is as fierce as a kangaroo in a boxing ring. While Rhea Ripley also came from Riot City Wrestling, the two have never squared off, but it’s clear WWE has a thing for Aussie powerhouses. And Delta is exactly that—a certified wrecking ball in the ring.
Brady officially signed with WWE earlier this year after tryouts in Perth, with news of her contract emerging in July. She’s not just brawn either—her last independent match, back in July, was against her brother Dean Brady. So not only is she a powerhouse, but she also body slams her own family for fun. Talk about commitment!
Now, when exactly will we see Delta Brady make her NXT debut? If you caught the vignette, there’s a clue: the sign didn’t just say “NXT.” It also featured the numbers 10 and 27, which just so happen to be the date of WWE NXT Halloween Havoc. So, if we’re reading the tea leaves right, it looks like Brady might make her first official appearance at the spookiest wrestling event of the year on October 27.
NXT fans, get ready for a down-under thunderstorm to hit the roster, because Delta Brady is about to bring the pain, Aussie-style.
