Number one contender’s battle royal to open WWE NXT – Selambe

A battle royal to determine Trick Williams’ next challenger will open NXT.

WWE announced on social media that the 25-man battle royal will kick off Tuesday’s show. The winner of the match will earn a shot at Williams’ title at NXT Heatwave on July 7.

Last week’s show saw Cody Rhodes tell Williams about the battle royal, mentioning that wrestlers from “different locker rooms” would be in the match. Williams successfully defended the title at NXT Battleground, defeating Ethan Page.

Jordynne Grace, a wrestler from TNA, has made appearances for NXT in recent weeks, losing to Roxanne Perez at NXT Battleground thanks to a distraction from Tatum Paxley and fellow TNA wrestler Ash by Elegance, the former Dana Brooke. Paxley went on to unsuccessfully challenge for Grace’s TNA Knockouts title at this past weekend’s TNA Against All Odds event.
