New NXT champ Finn Balor and NXT women’s wrestler Bayley will be throwing out the first pitch at the St. Lucie Mets minor league baseball game on Wednesday, July 22 at Tradition Field in Port St. Lucie. WWE’s NXT will be in Fort Pierce on July 23, Miami on July 24 and West Palm Beach on July 25. The St. Lucie Mets baseball team is the Single-A affiliate of the New York Mets in the Florida State League.

When Class A minor league teams the St. Lucie Mets and Brevard County Manatees are battling on the field in Florida State League action, a pair of WWE NXT wrestling superstars will be in the stands to meet fans.

New NXT champion Finn Balor and NXT diva Bayley will throw out the first pitch, sign autographs, pose for photos and give away prizes on Wednesday, July 22 at Tradition Field in Port St. Lucie.

Balor and Bayley are on the Treasure Coast promoting the WWE NXT event at the Havert L. Fenn Center on Thursday, July 23 in Fort Pierce.

First pitch between the Mets and Manatees is 6:30 p.m.

The Ireland native Balor is the newly crowned NXT champion. He defeated Kevin Owens for the title at The Beast in the East special in Tokyo, Japan on July 4 on WWE Network.

Bayley, hailing for San Jose, Calif., joined NXT in 2013. She likes to hug, and her signature move is the Bayley-to-Belly Suplex. Balor and Bayley are fan favorites.

WWE NXT is a professional wrestling development branch of the WWE based in Orlando. Several NXT wrestlers have been promoted to WWE, including Adrian Neville who visited the Mets at Tradition Field last year.
