With a major championship match confirmation coming up for Evolution, WWE NXT will present another loaded episode next week that contains a huge contender’s bout over the women’s title. Plus, the TNA World Championship will also be on the line on the show. Overall, four matches are set for the show, with two of them being title bouts.
As seen this week, four qualifying matches took place on this week’s episode of WWE NXT to determine the participants of a fatal-4-way match for next week’s show that will crown a new number-one contender for Jacy Jayne’s NXT Women’s title, with the match being set for Evolution on July 12.
Izzi Dame, Jaida Parker, Lash Legend, and Jordynne Grace, respectively, defeated Zaria, Kelani Jordan, Thea Hail, and Lola Vice in the qualifiers, and these four will battle it out next week to get a shot at the women’s championship held by Jayne at WWE Evolution. The match announcement came last week through the General Manager, Ava.
