A loaded lineup has been set for the next episode of WWE NXT 2.0 where three championships will be on the line. Raquel Gonzalez will put his Women’s Title on the line in a singles contest against Franky Monet.
Last week’s debut episode of NXT 2.0 was supposed to air on the USA Network and it initially advertised three major angles — a four-way No. 1 contender’s match for the NXT Championship, a WWE NXT Women’s Championship match between Raquel Gonzalez and Franky Monet, and the wedding between Dexter Lumis and Indi Hartwell.
That fatal-4-way was converted into an NXT Championship match after Samoa Joe relinquished the title while Fightful Select was the first to report Gonzalez vs. Monet has been pulled from the show. No official explanation was given why that match was withdrawn from the sow. Both the champion and the challenger have been absent from the first two episodes of WWE NXT 2.0, as well.
Over on the September 21 episode, NXT’s official Twitter account re-advertised that match to go down for next week. Monet got her title match opportunity in WWE after Robert Stone secured her a shot at Raquel’s belt as per the GM William Regal’s grant.

WWE NXT Cruiserweight Title will be on the line
Last night’s WWE NXT witnessed a championship, changing hands as Diamond Mine faction’s Roderick Strong won the Cruiserweight Title from Kushida in the opening contest. The Creed Brother and Nile attacked Kushida when the referee wasn’t watching as Strong finished off the contest with a backbreaker move.
After the match, Grayson Waller came out and WWE NXT 2.0 is like a jungle, and he likes to thrive in the jungle. He then issued a challenge for the Cruiserweight Title for next week. Malcolm Bivens accepted the challenge on behalf of Roderick as the title match was made official for the September 28 episode.
Toxic Attraction – Mandy Rose, Gigi Dolin, and Jacy Jayne made a statement as a faction on this week’s WWE NXT. Rose cut a heel promo by turning on the audience. Per her words, Rose needed her to save the NXT Women’s division, but when her face was badly hurt by Sarray the fans didn’t do anything.
Mandy said she will now lead Gigi Dolin and Jacey Jane to the top. They will now be coming for the WWE NXT Women’s Tag Team Titles held by Io Shirai and Joey Stark, next week.
At a glance, the card for next week stands as follows,
– Raquel Gonzalez (c) vs. Franky Monet for WWE NXT Women’s Championship
– Io Shirai & Zoey Stark (c) vs. Toxic Attraction for the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championship
– Roderick Strong (c) vs. Grayson Waller for the NXT Cruiserweight Championship
– Index Honeymoon
