Kiana James is out to prove her all-rounder potential on WWE NXT since her arrival on Tuesday nights, several months ago. Apart from showcasing her wrestling skills, she is involved in a budding romance with Brooks Jensen and she looks forward to increasing her business capacity by taking over the struggling family bar of another emerging female talent on NXT, Fallon Henley.
Henley has made it clear that she won’t leave the property without giving a fight that has set up a unique matchup for next week’s WWE NXT. The two have been at odds over the past several weeks and the true owner of the bar will be determined through this stipulated match.
How The Battle for the Bar was announced?
In a video that aired on the latest episode of WWE NXT, Kiana James entered the Henley family’s bar with her assistant when Henley was there with Brooks Jensen and Josh Briggs. James proposed to purchase the property from the bank by paying the debts but Henley rejected the offer and rather offered a match for the rights of the bar.
With that the Battle of the Bar was made, official for next week’s WWE NXT where the stipulation stands the following – if Henley wins, she and her family will retain the bar but if James wins then Henley’s parents will have to hand over the family legacy to James.
