Due to not having a championship match at NXT Deadline<\/a><\/span>, Ava gave Blake Monroe an open challenge for her NXT Women\u2019s North American Championship last Tuesday. This resulted in nearly every woman on the roster coming out to answer the open challenge.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While every woman wanted a shot, Thea Hail was the one who really got her hands on Monroe. Due to this, Hail now has a Women\u2019s North American Championship match. She has challenged for various championships and came so close each time. Will she be able to capture her first championship in NXT on Tuesday?<\/span><\/p>\n

Who Will Be Next in Line for the NXT Championship?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The now two-time NXT Champion, Oba Femi, needs a new opponent for his championship. It seems that his feud with Ricky Saints has gone on long enough, and both men are moving on to different opponents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of the best wrestlers in NXT were selected to compete for the opportunity to become the new number one contender. There will be a fatal four-way match on Tuesday between Dion Lennox, Joe Hendry, Leon Slater, and Myles Borne. All men are deserving of an opportunity at the championship, but who will be able to pick up the victory?<\/span><\/p>\n

The disadvantage of being in a Fatal Four-Way match is that you don\u2019t have to be part of the pinfall to lose the bout. Whoever gets the first three-count wins the match and will be next to face Oba Femi for the WWE NXT Championship. Who do you think will win?<\/span><\/p>\n
