WWE NXT Superstars Share Their Favorite Thanksgiving Foods: From Sweet Potato Pie to Protein Shakes

When Wrestlers Talk Turkey -And More: What NXT Eats at its Special Thanksgiving Supper.

The traditional feast that signifies the season, Thanksgiving to many, consists of turkey, stuffing,and  pumpkin pie. However, it was the least expected holiday menu in the case of the WWE NXT roster this year. During a viral video on social media, NXT stars revealed their comfort food delivery, and the list of their dishes was diverse, including both usual comfort food and some unexpected twists. The range tells a lot about the way we celebrate, depending on our personal background, tastes, and even humor.

The following is the preview of what some of your favorite NXT superstars will be serving during the Thanksgiving – and the reason their choices are so interesting.

���en The Classics and Comforts Because some Flavors Never Change.

• Je’Von Evans dipped twice into the pool of comfort foods with both mac and cheese and sweet potatoes as his favorites. Rich, homely, and commonplace – ideal in the hunger of a wrestler after a hard training season.
• Jaida Parker followed an old-fashioned type of spread, which contained mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, and turkey. Vintage, plain, and entrenched in the spirit of the Thanksgiving everyone used to have.
• Kelani Jordan ordered dressing and mac and cheese – a dish with both savory and comforting aspects.
• Lexis King has exposed that stuffing drowned in gravy is the thing he anticipates- to many, a Thanksgiving dish is not complete without the heavy, thick stuff.

These selections are close to the heart since they are not new. There is a reflection of family get-togethers, kitchens at home, and basic holiday coziness.

Sweet Tooths and Unique Choices: When Dessert (or Life) Is Creative.

Thanksgiving is about partying – and certain NXT stars took it all the way.

• Trick Williams had things simple and traditional: his favorite one is a sweet potato pie, a dessert that many people relate to warmth, nostalgia, and intimacy.
• Ava (NXT GM) was sticking with the standard pumpkin pie, something that is a perfect match to a season, all the spice, smoothness, and feelings of home it gathers.
• And there is Myles Borne, who misses his mom’s sweet potato casserole, which is a reminder that to many, the holiday magic does not depend on what is on the table, but it is the person who made it.

Those meals help us remember that Thanksgiving is not only a meal, but a memory, comfort, and love, even baked into a single bite.

🍝 Cuisine, Culture, and Pizza Taste: Since Woody has a different holiday.

Every holiday table does not appear identical. To others, Thanksgiving is a blend of tradition and family heritage – and some of the NXT celebrities have made a place.

1. Jacy Jayne, with her Italian background, called eggplant parmesan her favorite one, which was not turkey or pumpkin pie, but a way of self-identity and taste.
2. Ariana Grace made things family and domestic. Her favorite dish? She baked lasagna with her aunt Santina. It is not so much tradition as it is family, origins, and what is soothing to their own heritage.

These choices point to something significant: having a definition of a holiday meal that is not unique. It is individual, diverse, and usually influenced by family customs and cultural roots.

���Us Wild Cards, Funny Choices: It doesn’t mean that Some Wrestlers Celebrate in the same way.

Thanksgiving is usually taken seriously; however, it is sometimes good to shake it up. And in NXT, that is what some wrestlers did.

• Leon Slater was first to defy convention, calling a protein shake his must-have, basic, and perhaps even more at home with a wrestler keeping off the pounds and working out.
• Maybe the boldest twist? No one expected Josh Briggs to mention that he is not into traditional Thanksgiving at all, because he will be eating tacos instead. To him, perhaps it is taste or convenience or simply fun.

These decisions are a reminder that in some cases, the traditions of holidays change. They demonstrate the fact that customs are not rules, but rather points of departure.

You know what this is really all about, you see, it is not just about food, it is about people.

Right, this is an affair of favorite dishes. It is a peep behind the curtain of who these wrestlers are when the cameras are off, more than that.

• Identity & Roots: It can be lasagna, eggplant parmesan, or sweet potato pie: the selections are all about backgrounds, families, and what is considered home.
• Personality & Mood: There is the one that goes traditional, the one that goes indulgent, the one that goes healthy – it is the craving, the mood one hopes to have during the Thanksgiving dinner.
• Connection & Memory: When one asks what they would like on their plate during the Thanksgiving dinner, one is asking what they would like to be close to their heart. For many, food becomes memory. Comfort. Nostalgia.

🦃 Recap: Thanksgiving Is a Great, Tasty Smorgasbord.

Thanks to WWE NXT, this year Thanksgiving is not only about turkey and stuffing. It is eggplant parmesan and lasagna. It’s protein shakes and tacos. It is sweet potato pie and Mac and cheese.

And that’s the beauty of it. Holidays, particularly such ones as Thanksgiving, should not be homogeneous. They are supposed to be the mirror of ourselves, our origin, and the feeling of belonging to something.
