WWE NXT female wrestlers expected to travel overseas in 2026
The female wrestlers from WWE NXT will need to get their passports ready for next year according to our Bryan Alvarez.
Alvarez is reporting that the tentative plan is that like with the male NXT talent working in Pro Wrestling NOAH, the women will also be doing tours of Japan in 2026. He didn’t specify whether that meant NOAH, Marigold or potentially both.
WWE and NOAH have had a working partnership for several years that has seen several main roster talents head to Japan including Shinsuke Nakamura, AJ Styles and Omos (who held the GHC Tag Team titles).
The NXT men have had increased representation over the last year.
Upcoming appearances include former NXT Tag Team Champions Hank Walker & Tank Ledger against Masa Kitamiya and Takashi Sugiura on November 8 at Korakuen Hall for the GHC Tag Team titles. The duo debuted this past Sunday with a win over Alpha Wolf and Dragon Bane to set up the match.
Charlie Dempsey and Harlem Lewis debuted in NOAH last month while Josh Briggs and Tavion Heights took part in last summer’s N1 Victory tournament.
Conversely, Yoshiki Inamura debuted in WWE NXT last November, competing in the promotion through this past August.
Since 2011, Josh has been a contributing editor to Wrestling Observer/F4WOnline.com and also hosts the Punch-Out podcast. He has also written for Fight Magazine, Bloody Elbow, Bleacher Report, and other websites. He's a 2000 graduate of the University of Maine, worked in pro sports, and once was an indie ring announcer.
