Summary

Several independent wrestlers were reportedly backstage at WWE WrestleMania 42, with Emily Jaye, J-Rod, Blair Onyx, Brittnie Brooks, and Nixi XS named among the extras present during the event.

The names attached to WrestleMania 42 weekend

The group named as backstage extras gives a clearer picture of the additional talent WWE had around WrestleMania 42. While the report did not specify whether any of them were used in matches, segments, or production-related roles, it did identify all five as being backstage for the show.

WrestleMania week often brings in extra wrestlers for a range of needs, and this update adds another layer to the broader backstage picture from the event. That includes other late-forming material around the show, such as how Danhausen's WrestleMania 42 segment grew backstage.

What this could mean for Emily Jaye, J-Rod and the other extras

For Emily Jaye, J-Rod, Blair Onyx, Brittnie Brooks, and Nixi XS, being backstage at WrestleMania 42 puts them in front of WWE during its biggest week of the year, which can matter even when no on-screen role is confirmed.

At minimum, the update shows WWE had this group in the building for WrestleMania 42 weekend. If any of them are brought back for future events or TV dates, this report would stand as an early sign that they were already on the company's radar.
