That statement created Green\u2019s match for this coming week and Page\u2019s North American Championship for the week after.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sol Ruca was the one to receive this opportunity as she defeated Bayley on Saturday Night Main Event. The win at SNME was significant for Ruca\u2019s career for many reasons. She was the only person from NXT to leave SNME with a victory over someone on the main roster. And not just anyone on the main roster, but a former two-time Raw and SmackDown Women&#8217;s Champion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Will Sol Ruca be able to leave next week&#8217;s NXT holding gold once again?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>A New Mixed Tag Team on the Horizon?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Skylar Raye and Shiloh Hill, the winners of LFG, were caught chatting backstage when Channing \u201cStacks\u201d Lorenzo and Arianna Grace interrupted, discussing how close they were for a chance at the AAA Mixed Tag Team Championships. This led to a match being created for next week\u2019s episode of NXT.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ethan Page and Chelsea Green may have more to worry about than simply defending their singles championships. If Shiloh Hill and Skylar Raye win, does that make them next in line for the AAA Mixed Tag Team Championship? Or if Stacks and Grace win, will they have earned their shot?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who do you think is more deserving to receive the AAA Mixed Tag Team Championships?
