WrestleMania week in Las Vegas is already heating up—and NXT’s Karmen Petrovic just raised the stakes for anyone bold enough to show off a championship.

On April 11, Petrovic took to Twitter with a not-so-subtle warning aimed at anyone planning to walk around Sin City next week flashing a title. “Anyone walking around Vegas next week with a title be prepared to defend it on sight 😉🥰🗡️,” she wrote.

That cheeky smiley combo might look cute, but the message is anything but. Whether it’s aimed at other wrestlers or bold fans bringing replica titles to town, Petrovic is clearly in the mood to make a statement before NXT Stand & Deliver.

With the black and gold brand’s premium live event going down April 19th—just hours before WrestleMania 41 Night One—the pressure is on, and the lineup is already stacked. Here’s what’s officially set for NXT Stand & Deliver, airing live on Peacock in the U.S. and Netflix internationally:
