Becky Lynch appearance added to WWE NXT

The Women’s Champion is set for an appearance on this week’s WWE NXT episode. 

WWE announced during Monday’s Raw show that NXT Women’s Champion Becky Lynch will appear on Tuesday’s show. Lynch defeated Tiffany Stratton in an extreme rules match to retain her title at Saturday’s No Mercy pay-per-view in the main event.

In a segment posted to WWE’s digital platforms, Lynch invited Indi Hartwell to NXT:
