NXT GM Ava made a huge announcement on the developmental brand just moments ago. This was regarding the upcoming WWE Evolution.
Jacy Jayne shocked the world by winning the NXT Women’s Championship from Stephanie Vaquer two weeks ago. Last week, she addressed her title win. However, she was quickly interrupted by Lainey Reid, who called her a beatable champion.
More women from the locker room interrupted them, indicating that they too wanted a title shot, thereby resulting in a brawl. Additionally, Blake Monroe, fka Mariah May, also showed up and hinted that she had her eye set on the NXT Women’s Title.
Tonight, Jacy Jayne defended the title for the first time against Lainey Reid. After a hard-fought match, she was able to retain her title. However, after the match, Ava came out and announced that next week, there would be four singles matches where the winners would move on to the following week and compete in a Fatal Four-Way match.
The winner of this match will become the number one contender and challenge Jacy Jayne for the NXT Women’s Title at WWE Evolution.
It will be interesting to see who will compete next week in these singles matches on NXT and who will move on to become the next challenger for Jacy Jayne’s title.

Sunil admires former world champions AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, and Kenny Omega for their ability to consistently deliver great matches as well as entertain crowds with their mic skills.
If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
