Sexyy Red appeared for WWE multiple times in 2024.
There were multiple occasions in 2024 when rapper Sexyy Red appeared for WWE on their NXT brand. She kicked off the brand’s Battleground Premium Live Event and appeared on an episode of Monday Night Raw in her hometown of St. Louis, Missouri.
There’s a feature piece about Red that was published by Thomas Hobbs of Dazed. In the written text portion of the article, it is noted that Red was offered a permanent role with WWE as a wrestler, but could not find the time to train so she settled for appearances.
Here’s the write-up:
One thing Sexyy particularly enjoyed was making a cameo appearance with legendary wrestler Shawn Michaels for the WWE last year. She actually got offered a permanent role as a wrestler in WWE, but couldn’t find the time to train properly so settled for a cameo instead. Regardless of what the future holds, she says the wrestling world is a good analogy for how to handle the myriad pressures that come with being a popular recording artist.
“Rapping and wrestling are pretty much the same,” Red explains. “It’s not quite acting, but it’s kind of acting too, right? Because when we go home and take off all our jewels and gold and remove the costumes we wear, we then have to go right back to reality with our families.”
The second week of NXT’s run on The CW Network saw the brand’s weekly show run an event in Missouri and Sexyy Red was a part of it.
