WWE NXT September 26: Strap Match, Butch vs Coffey & More Set
WWE NXT has announced four matches and a segment for September 26, 2023, episode of NXT, including a Strap match and Butch vs Joe Coffey.
Eddy Thorpe will face Dijak on September 26 episode of NXT in a Strap match. Eddy Thorpe and Dijak have been engaged in a feud for several weeks, with Dijak emerging victorious in two of their encounters.
During the September 12 episode of WWE NXT, Dijak displayed disrespect by destroying a place that held emotional value for Thorpe. This was illustrated by his act of striking a tree with a belt. On the September 19 episode of NXT, Eddy Thorpe reacted to Dijak’s actions and issued a challenge for a Strap Match. WWE subsequently confirmed and announced this match for the upcoming week’s event.
