WWE NXT’s June 6, 2023 episode will feature a #1 contender Battle Royal for Women’s Championship, Diamond Mine in action against Schism and Ija Dragunov’s address to the fans.
Tiffany Stratton won the NXT Women’s Championship at Battleground 2023 event last weekend. She appeared on this week’s NXT episode(May 30) and mocked the whole women’s division, claiming that she would be the champion until she retires. Then, she announced a #1 contender battle royal for next week, and the winner of this match would face Stratton later.
After a grand victory in the last-man-standing match against Dijak at the Battleground PLE, Dragunov is scheduled for the next episode of NXT to address the fans.

Eddy Thorpe and Damon Kemp are also set for a rematch on June 6 NXT episode. Tyler Bate defeated Eddy Thorpe on the May 23 episode of NXT. Eddy Thorpe was seen backstage with Blade and Edris Enofe receiving encouragement. However, Damon Kemp appeared and mocked Eddy for his last defeat, which resulted in Thorpe challenging him for a rematch.
Members of Diamond Mine and Schism are also expected to clash on next week’s NXT episode. The two sides came to blow once again during this week’s show. Diamond Mine was at ringside as The Dyad faced Wes Lee & Tyler Bate in a tag team match.
Ivy Nile blocked Ava Raine from interfering in the match. The Dyad then got into a brawl with The Creed Brothers after the match. Later in the show, Nile called out Ava Raine to face her in the ring next week. Simultaneously, The Creed Brothers also called out The Dyad for a rematch.
If it happens, this will be Ava’s first singles match. She has only taken part in one mixed tag team match in her career so far which came in the pre-show of Stand & Deliver PLE. The Creed brothers defeated The Dyad on May 16 NXT episode.
The current lineup for NXT June 6 episode is as below:
