Last week on NXT, a cryptic teaser aired at the end of the episode featuring SMPTE color bars with text that said "WWE TRANSMISSION" changing into "VENGEANCE DAY"
Those teasers continued on tonight's episode, with the Vengeance Day screen showing up in a backstage segment on a monitor behind Sarah Schreiber as she was finishing conducting an interview with Trick Williams.
That wasn't all, though, as this week's episode ended with the test screen once again popping up with even more to show.
As you can see in the clip below, after Eddy Thorpe was shown whipping Trick Williams with a leather strap to end the main event tag team match (which saw Williams and Oba Femi lose to Austin Theory and Grayson Waller due to Thorpe's interference), the feed cut out to the color bars, followed by some brief clips of four unknown wrestlers mostly masked in silhouettes.
None of the four are instantly recognizable figures, but that hasn't stopped fans from already speculating about who they might be based on the little we can see.
For the most part, eagle-eyed viewers are putting out the names of Saquon Shugars, Keanu Carver, Dion Lennox and Cutler James as the quartet, though some are speculating one of them could be Ricky Starks. As last had been reported, Starks has not yet been let out of his All Elite Wrestling contract, which is supposedly set to run until at least the spring, if not the summer. Obviously, if AEW has not already let him out of that, on top of WWE already signing him, Starks would be unable to appear in even a tease like this, let alone whatever is going to happen at Vengeance Day.
The implication behind this tease is that this is a new faction or group of some sort, but even that has yet to be confirmed in any fashion, let alone the identities of these four and what their mission is going to be to appear at Vengeance Day. We might have to wait until then to find out, or at least, we should get more information on next week's episode of NXT.
