Women’s title match set for WWE NXT Halloween Havoc night one

Lyra Valkyria is next to get a crack at the NXT Women’s Championship.

Valkyria defeated Indi Hartwell and Roxanne Perez in a three-way match to become the new number one contender for the NXT Women’s Championship on Tuesday, defeating Hartwell after Kiana James took out Perez at ringside. With the win, she will now face Lynch on the first night of NXT’s two-week Halloween Havoc event, which begins on October 24.

In a backstage interview, James said she cost Perez the match because she wanted to prevent Perez from winning another championship. She then announced that if Perez could defeat Asuka on next week’s NXT, Perez could get a match against her.

Lynch is currently out of action after successfully defending the title at NXT No Mercy this past Saturday, defeating Tiffany Stratton in an Extreme Rules match. She was set to defend the title on Monday’s Raw against Tegan Nox, but was pulled from the match after receiving a cut during the Extreme Rules match that required stitches. The match is now set for next week’s Raw.
