A number one contender for Lyra Valkyria’s NXT Women’s Title will be decided next week in a Battle Royal with a twist. The winner will face Valkyria at Vengeance Day on Feb. 4. The twist was explained by Valkyria in the ring on this week’s NXT.
Valkyria announced the Battle Royal will be a 20 woman match. Once it gets down to the final four, it will turn into a Fatal Four-way. Twist!
The champion, who successfully defended against Blair Davenport last week, was interrupted during her announcement by Lola Vice and Elektra Lope. Vice still has her Breakout contract where she can opt for any championship match whenever she wants. Even Lopez who has mentioned them going for the tag titles.
Valkyria tries to get into both Vice and Lopez’s heads. She says she hasn’t seen the bad MMA fighter Vice actually do much other than talk. And when Vice says she is Latina Heat, Valkyria says the only Latina Heat she sees is Lopez. Things boil to Valkyria wanting a match with Vice right then and there, but the two on one attack took place. Tatum Paxley came in for the save, stalkers are good as back up.
Valkyria did state that there would be 20 women in the Battle Royal but only 18 are on the graphic. So we’ll have to see if it keeps 18 or if two will be returns or surprises.
The women listed are:
Top Row: Tatum Paxley, Lola Vice, Lash Legend, Izzi Dame, Kelani Jordan, Brinley Reece, Elektra Lopez, Karmen Petrovic, and Kiana James.
Bottom Row: Stevie Turner, Nikkita Lyons, Blair Davenport, Jaida Parker, Fallon Henley, Roxanne Perez, Cora Jade, Gigi Dolin, and Arianna Grace.
In case you missed this week’s NXT, match results were –
- Blair Davenport def. Nikkita Lyons
- Cora Jade def. Gigi Dolin
Tiffany Stratton was paying her dues as a ranch hand following her loss to Fallon Henley last week. Stratton was mortified and embarrassed by the experience to say the least.
Jaida Parker has now joined herself up with OTM.
Brinley Reece is showing a fitness trainer gimmick, becoming very Muffy coded. She was backstage trying to talk up Edris Enofe and Malik Blade about getting six packs. But they already have them.
The Chase U girls including Jacy Jayne, Thea Hail, and Madi Wrenkowski (her NXT on screen debut) discuss hows to save Chase U financially.
Adrianna Rizzo joins The Family ringside which pays off for them retaining the tag team gold. SCRYPTS was attempting to help OTM when the referee’s back was turned. Rizzo knocked SCRYPTS off the turnbuckle.
