Women’s title match added to Tuesday’s WWE NXT

WWE NXT

After retaining against Jordynne Grace at Battleground, Stephanie Vaquer already has her next challenger lined up.

Vaquer will put her NXT Women’s Championship on the line against Jacy Jayne on WWE NXT this Tuesday night. The match was confirmed by WWE after being set up in a backstage angle at Battleground. Vaquer got into a confrontation with Lucha Libre AAA wrestlers Dalys and Chik Tormenta after her victory against Grace. As that was happening, Jayne took advantage of the situation and slapped Vaquer.

“I feel good, because I just slapped the taste out of Stephanie’s mouth,” Jayne said in a post-show interview. “And come Tuesday, it’s going to get so much worse for her when I take that NXT Women’s title off of her.”

Vaquer won the NXT Women’s Championship this March and has made four successful title defenses so far.

The updated card for Tuesday’s Battleground fallout edition of NXT is listed below. Ricky Saints vs. Ethan Page for the North American Championship is kicking off the episode.
