First time ever match added to WWE NXT lineup

A first time ever match has been added to this Tuesday’s WWE NXT lineup as Blake Monroe will take on Zaria.

Monroe is coming off a loss to Jordynne Grace in a weaponized steel cage match at last month’s No Mercy premium live event — her second straight defeat. Primarily focused on tag team wrestling with Sol Ruca, this will be Zaria’s first televised singles bout since June.

The new additions join the previously announced battle royal with both TNA and NXT talent to determine the Halloween Havoc challenger for NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne in addition to El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. making his NXT in-ring debut against Lexis King, and Matt Cardona vs. Josh Briggs.

Current WWE NXT lineup for Tuesday, October 14:

  • Josh Briggs vs. Matt Cardona
  • El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. vs. Lexis King
  • Blake Monroe vs. Zaria
  • Battle royal for Hallowen Havoc NXT Women’s title match, TNA Knockouts roster invited
