WWE NXT keeps you on the edge of your seat because every wrestler is striving to become better. They are striving to become the next big thing, and they will do whatever it takes to do so. In doing that, friendships will have to be sacrificed. We’ve seen Zaria go down this path with Sol Ruca; now, Zaria is forcing herself into the NXT Women’s Championship picture. DarkState is following in the same path after they attacked their own teammate, Saquon Shugars, after their match. We will likely see some sort of fallout this upcoming week on NXT regarding both Zaria and DarkState.
And that is only a piece of what may occur next week. For next week, currently, there are seven confirmed matches. This includes an NXT Women’s Championship match and the beginning of the Men’s Speed Tournament. Keep reading to find out who will be competing, and be sure to check in for any updates.
It Iz What It Iz
Next week, Izzi Dame will finally get a one-on-one match for the NXT Women’s Championship. It feels like a long time coming, as she has been going for the championship since she feuded with Tatum Paxley. She held the Women’s North American Championship and is now going for the top title.
Dame normally has the advantage of the Culling on her side, but next week, they may be too preoccupied with their own matches to help Dame. Last week, Shawn Spears created a match for him and Niko Vance against OTM. Both Dame and Vance were displeased at this decision, but Spears thinks it’s best for the team so The Culling can get back on top of both the men’s and women’s divisions.
This could be a great decision if they all come out victorious next week. If they don’t, will this be the beginning of the downfall of The Culling? It doesn’t seem like they have been on the same page lately, especially not after this decision Spears made.
Now, going back to the NXT Women’s Championship match, Lola Vice is looking to show that she is a fighting champion. It seems like it will be a standard match if The Culling isn’t ringside; however, like they always say, they are always one step ahead.
Who do you think will leave NXT next week as the new Women’s Champion?
