Tavion Heights has the chance to earn his first-ever title in a little over a week.

Heights will challenge Ethan Page for the NXT North American Championship as part of No Mercy on September 27 at the FTL War Memorial in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The matchup was confirmed on the latest episode of NXT, when former world champ Damian Priest informed Heights of the booking.

The upcoming match is the second-ever time that Heights has challenged for a singles title in NXT. The bout continues a feud he has had with Page in recent weeks, including a mixed tag match involving Tyra Mae Steele and Chelsea Green at Heatwave last month.

Page defended his North American title for the fifth time on Tuesday night, beating the returning Tyler Breeze as part of “Homecoming” night for NXT at Full Sail University. Past title wins have included performances against Ricky Saints and a four-way win at Worlds Collide in June.

Here’s an updated look at No Mercy. The main men’s title match and the Speed booking won’t be confirmed until Tuesday, as a pair of results on the upcoming episode of TV will determine who advances to the Premium Live Event (PLE).

  • Sol Ruca vs. Candice LeRae OR Lainey Reid (WWE Speed Women’s Championship)
  • Tavion Heights vs. Ethan Page (NXT North American Championship)
  • Jacy Jayne vs. Lola Vice (NXT Women’s Championship)
  • Oba Femi OR Trick Williams vs. Ricky Saints (NXT Championship)
