WWE NXT Teasing Mystery Newcomer In Crazy Storyline

Xia Li and Boa met the mysterious ShiFu on this week's WWE NXT.

The weird storyline between Boa and Xia Li continued on this week's WWE NXT, following on from the latter's assertion that a mysterious "she" would soon be arriving on the black and gold brand.

This went down last night. The ShiFu master who had accosted the missing Boa the previous week had a car take the duo to his complex. Boa and Li were soon on their knees, pleading for forgiveness, as a cloaked, robe-clad female stood nearby, watching on as they looked to atone for recent failings.

Boa and Li stopped when the ShiFu shouted at them, before the mystery woman marked their hands. Suddenly, Li's facial expression went from broken to understanding, and a quick shot of whoever this mysterious new figure is closed the segment.

There is currently no word on who, exactly, is playing the ShiFu's assistant here, though it'll likely be revealed sometime in the coming weeks.

Li reached this point after experiencing a rotten patch of luck between the ropes, losing to Kayden Carter, Shotzi Blackheart, and Kacy Catanzaro in quick succession. Her and Boa are seemingly on this journey together - and the mystery woman will likely be debuted alongside them.
