Indie star Nikki Blackheart wrestled during a dark match before NXT on The CW last night, her first match in a WWE ring.
The 29-year-old from the Dominican Republic is under a developmental deal with WWE and was trained by Gangrel. She made her pro wrestling debut in 2024.
Blackheart had a new name, simply introduced as Martinez, and won the match against LFG season two winner Skylar Raye.
Two months ago she was signed by WWE after a tryout with the company and participating in Bayley’s Lodestone training camp and is now training at the WWE Performance Center.
