WWE announces opening match for NXT

WWE has revealed the opening match for tonight’s NXT episode.

A six-woman tag bout will open the show with Tatum Paxley, Izzi Dame & Lola Vice taking on Fatal Influence (Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley & Lainey Reid). Paxley, the NXT Women’s Champion, defeated Jayne for the belt at Halloween Havoc and is still feuding with Fatal Influence.

In her title reign, Paxley has promised to be a fighting champion. Her first title defense was against Vice last week. It ended in a no contest after Fatal Influence interrupted and laid out both.

Tonight’s NXT will continue the build to Gold Rush 2025 — a two-week TV special that’s airing on November 18 and November 25. The next NXT PLE is Deadline on December 6.

Here is the updated card for tonight:

WWE NXT (Tuesday, November 4) —

  • WWE Speed Women’s Championship tournament begins
  • Je’Von Evans vs. Saquon Shugars
  • Tatum Paxley, Izzi Dame & Lola Vice vs. Fatal Influence (Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley & Lainey Reid)
