Quinn McKay made her WWE debut during the taping of the company's new developmental show NXT: Level Up ... but she didn't work a match.
The former Ring Of Honor star was introduced as the show's ring announcer under the name Kelly Kincaid. As well as wrestling in ROH, McKay also worked as a commentator and backstage correspondent, so she's no stranger to broadcast duties. It seems that she will perform similar duties at the Performance Center.
At the time of writing, no details regarding McKay's WWE deal have been revealed -- although it's possible that she is yet to officially sign with the company and that the Level Up appearance was a tryout of sorts.
McKay debuted as a pro-wrestler in 2018 and joined Ring Of Honor in 2019. Though she only worked a few matches for the company, she made it to the quarter-finals of the inaugural ROH Women's World Championship tournament last year, losing to eventual winner Rok-C, who could also be on her way to WWE if recent reports are accurate.
Of course, the fact that she is currently on ring announcer duties doesn't necessarily mean McKay's in-ring career is over -- here's hoping she decides to lace up her boots sometime soon,
The aforementioned NXT: Level Up is set to replace 205 Live and will debut on Peacock this Friday. The first episode of the new show was taped prior to this week's special Vengeance Day edition of NXT 2.0.
205 Live was one of Triple H's WWE passion projects, but it's safe to say that the show struggled to live up to his initial vision. Very few people will lament its demise, and an NXT 2.0 B-show makes a lot of sense. Clearly, WWE has faith in its revamped developmental programming, and they're putting a lot of faith in their NXT 2.0 talent, many of whom aren't quite TV-ready.
