This week’s episode of NXT will feature a huge 20-woman battle royal featuring talent from both NXT and TNA to determine the new number one contender for Jacy Jayne’s NXT Women’s Championship. The winner will go on to challenge Jayne at NXT Halloween Havoc, so we’ll have to wait and see who will come out on top in the bout and punch their ticket to Halloween Havoc. Matt Cardona will be competing in his first WWE match since 2020, as he will be facing off against Josh Briggs in singles competition. This comes after Matt Cardona got involved in the Josh Briggs and Myles Bourne match last week on NXT, so it remains to be seen how Cardona will fare in his WWE return match.

In another match, AAA star El Hijo de Dr. Wagner will be squaring off against Lexis King. This comes when King thought that Tavion Hughes was under Wagner Jr’s mask backstage, but that wasn’t the case and WWE booked the match. Finally, Blake Monroe will duke it out with Zaria. Monroe’s been determined to break up Zaria and Sol Ruca, so we’ll have to see who’ll pick up the win in the end. At NXT Showdown, Jacy Jayne and Sol Ruca were the last two women standing from Team NXT. They secured the win for their team, but now Jacy Jayne must refocus on defending her championship. There is currently no number one contender for the NXT Women’s Championship, but that will change this week. A battle royal will be held to determine who will be next to challenge Jacy Jayne.
