In the first round of the NXT Women’s Championship Tournament, Lyra Valkyria will go head-to-head with Kiana James. Valkyria, the high-flying wrestler, has been vocal about her ambition to win the NXT Women’s Title for some time now, but her path has been littered with obstacles, mainly from NXT’s resident mean girl, Cora Jade.
On the other hand, James has been engaged in a deeply personal feud with her former tag-team partner, Fallon Henley. The rivalry has centred around claims of James’ infidelity while dating Henley’s friend, Brooks Jensen.
Both wrestlers are now focused on their future in the tournament, hoping to secure a spot in the semi-finals. The match will be broadcast on NXT TONIGHT on USA at 8/7 C.
