Jiro primed for highly anticipated collision with Chen on NXT Level Up
A can’t-miss edition of NXT Level Up is set to feature Ikemen Jiro taking on Dante Chen in a barnburner, Valentina Feroz clashing with Arianna Grace, and Sloane Jacobs battling Sierra St. Pierre.
After competing primarily in tag team matches since mid-2021, Jiro has recently returned to one-on-one bouts and collided with the likes of Von Wagner, Trick Williams and Ru Feng. He’ll now seek a much-needed win as he continues to reacclimate to singles competition.
It won’t be easy against Chen, an accomplished striker who has already picked up wins against Malik Blade, Javier Bernal and Bodhi Hayward, but is looking to break out of a recent mini-slump.
Feroz, who has impressed the WWE Universe while battling in singles competition as well as competing in the tandem ranks alongside partner Yulisa Leon on NXT 2.0 and NXT Level Up, will look to score a crucial victory against the upstart Grace.
Grace recently competed in the NXT Women’s Breakout Tournament, and though she was eliminated by Nikkita Lyons in the quarterfinals, the flashy newcomer firmly established herself as a Superstar to watch. A win over Feroz would likely be the biggest moment of her young career.
And after coming up just short against Fallon Henley in the NXT Women’s Breakout Tournament Quarterfinals, Jacobs seeks a big victory against St. Pierre.
Don’t miss an amazing edition of NXT Level Up, streaming Friday at 10/9 C on Peacock in the United States and on WWE Network everywhere else!
