On February 20, King will get the opportunity to attempt to dethrone one of the most dominant <em>NXT<\/em> titleholders in recent memory but it will not prove to be an easy task.<\/p>\n<h3>Shotzi Shoots Her Shot At The NXT Women&#8217;s Championship<\/h3>\n<p><em><strong>SmackDown<\/strong><\/em>&#8216;s <strong>Shotz<\/strong>i will get a shot at <strong>Lyra Valkyria<\/strong>&#8216;s NXT Women&#8217;s Championship this week, following her request for it on the February 13 <em>NXT<\/em>.
