    WWE NXT’s Dani Palmer Out of Action Due to Double Hip Surgery

    WWE NXT Superstar Dani Palmer will be out of action indefinitely after undergoing hip surgery this week, with a second hip surgery planned for later this year. 

    Taking to Instagram, Palmer shared the news about her double hip surgery but remained positive about her future. Palmer added that she had already had the first surgery. 

    “Jeremiah 29:11. This year so far has been chaotic…scary but BEAUTIFUL…and nothing like the plan I had in mind for 2024…but I have a peace that makes no sense because I know the author of my story. I have to have a double hip surgery this year, and God is great because I knocked the first one out this morning and it went fantastic! Thank you everyone for all the prayers.“

    For anyone curious about the bible passage Palmer referenced in her post, Jeremiah 29:11 goes like this: 

    “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

    Who is Dani Palmer? 

    Palmer made her in-ring debut for WWE at an NXT live event in September 2022, where she was on the losing end of a six-woman tag-team match. That November, she would make her TV debut as part of NXT LVL UP, in a losing effort to Chase U’s Thea Hail. It wouldn’t be until a January 2023 edition of LVL UP that she’d score her first win, besting Lola Vice in singles action. Palmer has 33 matches to her name with WWE and boasts an 11-22 win/loss record. 

    Palmer played a role in a huge NXT storyline at a live event last year…

  • Plans for Two Recent WWE Signees Debuting for NXT Soon

    Plans for Two Recent WWE Signees Debuting for NXT Soon

    The WWE NXT roster is set to grow soon as two signings to the company will likely be making their TV debuts in the near future.

    In July 2021, WWE began their Next in Line program, which has see the promotion focus on signing collegiate athletes that they can mold in their own style of wrestling.

    Despite a belief that the NIL program means WWE won’t be signing indie wrestlers anymore, NXT head Shawn Michaels has said that this isn’t the case at all.

    The Debuts

    AJ Amrhein and Isaac Odugbesan are the next rookies in line to join NXT, according to the Wrestling Observer. Both are signings from WWE’s Next in Line program and signed with the company earlier this year.

    Amrhein tried out for WWE at the WrestleMania 38 tryouts in April, while Odugbesan was part of the Summerslam 2022 tryouts from Nashville back in July.

    AJ Amrhein

    A fitness instructor from Scottsburg, Indiana, Amrhein was a member of the acrobatics and tumbling team at Baylor University. In 2020, Amrhein was awarded Baylor’s ‘Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year’ award and is a three-time national champion with The Bears.

    Amrhein made her in-ring debut at an NXT live event on September 24 from Citrus Park, LF. She teamed with Arianna Grace and Kiana James in a losing effort against Fallon Henley, Thea Hail, and Valentina Feroz. 

    Last month, Amrhein changed her social media profiles to Dani Palmer, which is likely to be her ring name in WWE.

    Isaac Odugbesan

    Unlike Amrhein, Odugbesan is still using his real name, though the Observer writes that this will be changed soon enough.

    Originally from Lagos, Nigeria, Odugbesan has made his name as one of the best shot putters in the college ranks.

    Odugbesan placed third in the NCAA championships with a 67-2 throw and won the Eastern finals with a 68-5 throw.

    The 21-year-old placed seventh in the indoor finals earlier this year.
