Posted on by Bryan Rose

Two title matches are official for next month’s Vengeance Day event in Tennessee.

The end of Tuesday’s show saw Roxanne Perez win a battle royal to become the new number one contender for Lyra Valkyria’s NXT Women’s Championship. Earlier in the show, Ilja Dragunov and Trick Williams confirmed their NXT Championship match for February 4 after it was originally set to take place at New Year’s Evil.

The final four participants in the battle royal consisted of Perez, Kelani Jordan, Kiana James, and Fallon Henley. The match was then turned into a fatal four-way with Perez pinning Jordan to become the new number one contender. A contract signing will take place on next week’s NXT between Perez and champion Lyra Valkyria.

Dragunov resurfaced on Tuesday and told Williams that their NXT Championship match was on for Vengeance Day. This upset Carmelo Hayes, who pointed out that he and Williams are in the semifinals of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, and the finals are at Vengeance Day. Williams later suggested that he could work both matches.

Also on the show, Dragon Lee challenged Oba Femi to a rematch for the North American Championship. Femi, who rejected a match against Lee right then and there, said that he would take the match for Vengeance Day under consideration.

Here is the updated card for NXT Vengeance Day on February 4:

Becky Lynch is the new NXT Women’s Champion.

A tournament to crown a new NXT Women’s Champion will take place starting on next week’s NXT.

Indi Hartwell came out during the final segment of NXT this week and announced that starting next week, a tournament will begin that will crown a new NXT Women’s Champion at Battleground on May 28. Hartwell had been drafted to Raw on last week’s SmackDown.

After she placed the Women’s Championship on the ground, she wondered who would help her out of the ring, mentioning earlier in the promo that she had suffered an ankle sprain during last week’s NXT Women’s title match. It was then that Dexter Lumis appeared under the ring. Hartwell was carried away by Lumis as Tiffany Stratton and Cora Jade grabbed the NXT Women’s Championship in the ring. The show ended with the NXT women’s roster brawling over the championship.

Hartwell held the championship for 31 days, winning the championship in a ladder match at NXT Stand & Deliver last month. Other participants in the match included Roxanne Perez, Lyra Valkyria, Stratton, Zoey Stark, and Gigi Dolin.

Isla Dawn and Alba Fyre retained the NXT Women’s Tag Team titles over Katana Chance and Kayden Carter on Tuesday’s NXT. They indicated they would be taking the titles to SmackDown, where they were drafted as part of the 2023 WWE Draft.

Brooks Jensen, with a new look, ran down Josh Briggs in Kiana James’ office when Briggs attempted to mend things with Jensen. Later, in Fallon Henley’s bar, Jensen and James continued to run down Henley and Briggs, leading to the challenge for a mixed tag team match for next week’s show.

Cora Jade will meet Lyra Valkyria after Valkyria appeared following Jade’s match against Gigi Dolin, challenging Jade to a match.
