Carmelo Hayes, Baron Corbin And Dijak Battle For Number One Contendership
NXT Champion, Ilja Dragunov, awaits a new challenger. On the October 17 edition of NXT, Carmelo Hayes, Baron Corbin and Dijak will battle for the number one contendership position in a triple threat match. Each of these wrestlers come off of their own separate rivalries looking to secure the main gold of the brand, each having motivation of their own.
For Hayes, it’s about regaining the championship whilst Corbin looks to earn the NXT championship for the first time in his career. For Dijak, this could lead to his first taste of gold in the WWE. This is a match-up that will provide the number one contender who will get the chance to cut Dragunov’s reign short, and it promises to be a hard-hitting affair.
Lyra Valkyria Attemps To Build Up Momentum Against Tegan Nox
Lyra Valkyria is set to challenge Becky Lynch for the NXT Women’s Championship on week one of Halloween Havoc. Prior to that, Valkyria will get the chance to further build up her momentum in a match-up against the most recent title challenger, Tegan Nox. With the title shot on the October 24 NXT, Valkyria attempts to claim her first championship in the WWE.
The outcome of the match against Nox is a highly important one for Valkyria as it will impact her headspace positively or negatively heading into her championship match. To add to the intriguing match-up, Lynch is expected to be in attendance for the October 17 show, and the champ’s presence could elevate the entirety of the Valkyria vs. Nox match-up.
