    Ex-NWA Star Madi Wrenkowski Makes WWE In-Ring Debut With New Name On 1/16 NXT

    Fans who tuned into this week’s WWE NXT caught their first glimpse of Madi Wrenkowski in a WWE ring, and she now has a new name. 

    The January 16, 2024, edition of WWE NXT saw the gold brand start the journey toward NXT Vengeance Day. That event will take place on February 4, from the F&M Bank Arena in Clarksville, Tennessee. During this week’s show, it was confirmed that NXT Champion Ilja Dragunov will defend at Vengeance Day against Trick Williams. The pair were set to face off at New Year’s Evil but the match was postponed. 

    WWE NXT In-Ring Debut

    This week’s NXT was headlined by a women’s battle royal with a unique stipulation. The final four in the match would advance to a four-way, with the winner earning a shot at the NXT Women’s Championship. For the match, Madi Wrenkowski, a former NWA star, made her in-ring debut for WWE NXT under her new name Wren Sinclair. While she appeared on last week’s NXT, this match marked her in-ring debut for the promotion. 

    Unfortunately for Sinclair, she would not make it to the final four. Instead, the four-way was comprised of Roxanne Perez, Fallon Henley, Kiana James, and Kelani Jordan. Perez got the win and will challenge NXT Women’s Champion Lyra Valkyria at NXT Vengeance Day.

    An interesting name appeared for WWE NXT ahead of this week’s episode of the gold brand, one who fans may be seeing much more of going forward. 

    The January 9, 2023, episode of WWE NXT saw the gold brand continue forward after last week’s New Year’s Evil episode. In the main event of the show, Dragon Lee retained the NXT North American Championship against Lexis King. Lee had missed the previous week’s episode due to Visa issues. After the match, Oba Femi cashed in his Men’s Breakout Tournament win to dethrone Lee and become the new champion. 

    A Notable Name At WWE NXT

    Ahead of this week’s show, the NXT Anonymous account shared a video of Jacy Jayne and Thea Hail speaking with Chase U students. One person who was listening closely was Madi Wrenkowski who has been on WWE’s radar for some time. 

    Wrenkowski was part of a WWE tryout in September 2023 that included Richard Holliday and “HollyHood” Haley J. While it was reported by other outlets shortly after that she had been signed, it was later clarified that a deal had not been reached at that time.

    Madi Wrenkowski is no longer one-half of the Mission Pro Wrestling Tag Team Champions, in possibly a sign of bigger things to come. 

    Wrenkowski vacated the title at the recent MPW Silver Bells 3 event which took place at the Salvation Army Mission Corps in San Antonio, Texas. Wrenkowski said that she was “moving onto bigger and better things” hence her decision to voluntarily give up the gold. It is unclear what this decision means for her tag team partner Rache Chanel. 

    Heading to WWE? 

    In September, Wrenkowski was part of a WWE tryout that included Richard Holliday and “HollyHood” Haley J. Not long after, it was reported that she had signed with WWE but later confirmed that a deal had not been reached at that time. 

    Wrenkowski vacating the MPW Tag Team Championships will no doubt lead to speculation that she has finally reached a deal with WWE. A report from late November stated that a deal had not been reached, but things may have changed since then.
