Women’s North American title match, six-man tag added to WWE NXT Battleground
Two new matches have been made official for Sunday’s Battleground.
Kelani Jordan will get another shot at Sol Ruca’s NXT North American Championship after defeating Zaria in a match where if she won, she would get a title match on Sunday in Tampa. Jordan ended up winning after Zaria accidentally speared Ruca, with Jordan using the distraction to roll up Zaria.
In recent weeks, Zaria has served as a gatekeeper of sorts to Ruca. She originally rejected the idea of Jordan challenging Ruca but relented when Ruca agreed to the stipulation for this week’s match.
A six-man tag team match was also set as Shawn Spears, Niko Vance, and Brooks Jensen will take on Josh Briggs, Hank Walker, and Tank Ledger. After Spears defeated Briggs on NXT, all of The Culling jumped Briggs until the NXT Tag Team Champions made the save.
