Indi Hartwell returned to NXT to stake the claim that she never lost the title and relinquished it when she moved to RAW. Roxanne Perez was also quick to claim a title shot as she was also a champion before.
During the match, Roxanne had hit Indi with Pop-Rox when Kiana James pulled her out of the ring. Lyra then hit Indi with a splash to get the pinfall win. Becky and Lyra had a brief face-off in the ring as well to hype the match.
During the September 19 episode of NXT, Valkyria and Lynch defeated Tiffany Stratton and Kiana James in a tag team match. Valkyria has not yet captured a championship in WWE, and this upcoming opportunity could be her chance to win the NXT Women’s title for the first time.
NXT Halloween Havoc 2023 Night One event is scheduled for October 24, 2023. This is the first match announced for the event.
