Franky Monet to challenge for WWE NXT Women’s title next week

The NXT Women’s Championship will be on the line as the brand’s revamp begins next week.

WWE has announced that NXT Women’s Champion Raquel Gonzalez will defend her title against Franky Monet on NXT next Tuesday. Monet (the former Taya Valkyrie) first set her sights on the NXT Women’s Championship when she confronted Gonzalez while making her NXT debut this April.

Monet interrupted a backstage interview with Gonzalez on NXT two weeks ago. She promised to take Gonzalez’s shine and her title.

After Gonzalez defeated Jessi Kamea on last week’s show, Gonzalez and Monet had a staredown in the ring. Monet is aligned with Kamea and Robert Stone.

Gonzalez won the NXT Women’s Championship from Io Shirai at TakeOver: Stand & Deliver in April. Gonzalez has since had title defenses against Mercedes Martinez, Ember Moon, Xia Li, and Dakota Kai.

NXT’s new logo will officially debut next week as part of the revamp. There will also be a new look for the Capitol Wrestling Center.

Here’s the full list of what’s been announced for next Tuesday’s show:

• Fatal four-way number one contender’s match to determine the first challenger for Samoa Joe’s NXT Championship: Tommaso Ciampa vs. Kyle O’Reilly vs. LA Knight vs. Pete Dunne
• NXT Women’s Champion Raquel Gonzalez defends against Franky Monet
• The wedding of Indi Hartwell & Dexter Lumis
