WWE’s NXT Stand & Deliver went off the rails—in the best way—when a magic act stole the spotlight right after a tag team title change.

Following Hank Walker and Tank Ledger’s emotional win over Nathan Frazer and Axiom to become the new NXT Tag Team Champions, the cameras cut backstage for an unexpected moment featuring Lexis King… and Penn & Teller.

In a surreal crossover, Penn took the NXT Heritage Cup, placed it inside a cage, draped it with a cloth, and when the cover was removed—poof—the cup was gone. In its place? Teller, rocking a “YEET” T-shirt straight from Jey Uso’s merch line.

No explanation. No warning. Just WWE going full Vegas. The bizarre segment instantly sent fans into a frenzy on social media, with people asking what it meant for the Heritage Cup and why Lexis King was involved at all. The visual of Teller in a wrestling tee while the prized cup vanished like a card trick only added to the absurdity.
