Becky Lynch to face Tiffany Stratton on WWE NXT next week

Becky Lynch will challenge for the NXT Women’s Championship next week.

Champion Tiffany Stratton successfully defended the title on Tuesday’s NXT, defeating Kiana James. After the match, Lynch appeared on video and wondered what she would do next. She decided that since she’s never won the NXT Women’s Championship, she would come back to NXT next week and challenge Stratton. After the commercial break, the match was made official for next week’s show.

The feud between Stratton and Lynch started a few weeks ago, when Stratton in an in-ring promo said she would be the best Women’s Champion of all time, listing previous champions including Asuka, Bayley, and Charlotte Flair. She also included Lynch, who never held the title during her NXT run. 

After the promo, Stratton started to appear in the crowd on Raw, and also congratulated Lynch on her win at Payback this past weekend and apoloigzed for calling her a former champion. Lynch told Stratton to focus on her title match and she’d see her soon.
