Kelani Jordan has secured a shot at the NXT Women’s North American title at Battleground.
RESULTS:
*Sean Legacy over Je’Von Evans and Ashante Thee Adonis
*Shawn Spears over Josh Briggs
*OTM over Uriah Connors & Kale Dixon
*Lola Vice over Fallon Henley
*Kelani Jordan over Zaria
Tuesday’s edition of NXT featured Jordan defeating Zaria with a roll-up after Zaria accidentally ran into Sol Ruca on the apron, allowing Jordan to capitalize and win the match. It sets up Jordan challenging Ruca this Sunday at Battleground in Tampa, Florida.
Another match added to Sunday’s Battleground is a six-man tag with NXT tag champions Hank & Tank teaming with Josh Briggs against The Culling’s Shawn Spears, Brooks Jensen & Niko Vance.
NXT included on-screen appearances by LFG winners Tyra Mae Steele and Jasper Troy, who signed their contracts and presented them to Ava. Troy stated he would “make an impact” and attacked NXT Champion Oba Femi after an in-ring segment between Femi and Myles Borne.
