North American title match, two number one contender’s matches set for next WWE NXT
A North American title match is part of next week’s WWE NXT lineup.
On Tuesday, Zaria defeated Lizzie Rain in the opening match. But it wasn’t enough, as she continued to attack Rain after the match until Tatum Paxley, who was on commentary, entered the ring for the save. The Women’s North American Champion told Zaria that if this is what she wanted, she would give her a title match next week.
Since Sol Ruca left the brand, Zaria has made it clear she wants to stand out as a singles star, and in recent weeks has focused on Paxley and her Women’s North American title.
Two number one contender’s matches were also announced for next week. One will have Kendal Grey take on Kelani Jordan where the winner will face Lola Vice. The other will have Mason Rook face Naraku, with the winner facing NXT Champion Tony D’Angelo. The winners will get their title match at The Great American Bash, which takes place on June 28 in Orlando.
A vignette for the Mr. NXT pageant between Tristan Angels and Shiloh Hill was shown on Tuesday, promoting that three would compete in attire, talent, and public speaking. The voiceover said the “WWE Universe” and three special guest judges would determine the winner.
