Duke Hudson's First Post-WWE Booking Revealed

The first post-NXT appearance of former WWE Superstar Duke Hudson has been confirmed.

Now billed mononymously as Duke, the Australian star will appear at Pandemonium: Pro Wrestling as part of their House Always Wins event in Las Vegas, Nevada on April 17.

No opponent has yet been announced for Duke, and will likely be hard to predict ahead of a reveal, given the nature of WrestleMania week and the sheer amount of wrestlers scheduled to be in Vegas at the time.

Duke was released by WWE in January, having most prominently been featured as a member of the Chase U stable in NXT alongside Andre Chase, Thea Hail, and Riley Osborne. He also had a stint as a heel before joining the group, with a poker-playing gimmick that could well be revisited come the event in Las Vegas.

Duke is a former WWE NXT Tag Team Champion, having defeated the D'Angelo Family for the titles alongside Andre Chase at Halloween Havoc 2023. Unfortunately, their reign only lasted three weeks before the belts were dropped back to the former champions. Chase remains on the NXT brand, but Hail and Osborne have not appeared on-screen for some time since the group was disbanded by Andre's loss to Ridge Holland.
