Booker T Appreciation Night, steel cage title match part of next WWE NXT lineup
It will be Booker T Appreciation Night next week in Houston.
Prior to the main event of Tuesday’s show, Vic Joseph spoke to the crowd and surprised Booker T by announcing that next week’s show in the Hall of Famer’s hometown of Houston would be dedicated to him. The five-time WCW Champion was taken by surprise at the news.
Also set for next week is a steel cage rematch for the NXT Women’s North American title where Tatum Paxley will defend against Izzi Dame, who interrupted Paxley at the start of Tuesday’s show and made it clear she wanted another shot. Paxley attempted to leave but was blocked by The Culling, allowing Dame to lay out her former friend. Backstage Paxley found Dame and they brawled until Robert Stone cut them off, making the match for next week.
Another title match was set on Tuesday when Wren Sinclair defeated Thea Hail to win the latest women’s Speed tournament. She will now face champion Fallon Henley next week. A tournament will also begin next week to determine the next challengers for Vanity Project’s NXT Tag Team titles. Former champions Hank & Tank will compete in the first round, squaring off against Birthright.
Stone also informed Vanity Project that they would be wrestling in a six-man tag team match next week against Raw stars Los Americanos.
