A long-awaited grudge match between Jaida Parker and Nattie will go down as part of next week’s episode of WWE NXT.

Four matchups have been confirmed for a June 16 episode of NXT, which is scheduled to take place at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. Among them is a showdown between veteran talent Nattie and Parker, who have been feuding in backstage segments for weeks.

Their rivalry boiled over this week, when Parker crashed a class Nattie was teaching to cause a pull-apart brawl.

Along with that bout, a #1 contenders match for the NXT North American Championship will take place between Jackson Drake and Tavion Heights. The winner will go on to face Myles Borne for his belt at Great American Bash later this month.

Speaking of Great American Bash, the Premium Live Event’s headlining match, Tony D’Angelo vs. Naraku, will be previewed when the talents have a face-to-face confrontation next week. The meeting was made after the challenger, Naraku, sent the invitation to D’Angelo this week.

It’s also expected that the semi-final round in a WWE Speed women’s tournament will kick off, with Arianna Grace facing Layla Diggs, and Izzi Dame meeting Thea Hail. Winner of the bracket will challenge Wren Sinclair sometime down the line.

Here’s a full look at the lineup for next week’s NXT card:

  • Nattie vs. Jaida Parker
  • Jackson Drake vs. Tavion Heights (NXT North American Championship #1 Contenders Match)
  • Tony D’Angelo & Naraku meet in face-to-face
  • Arianna Grace vs. Layla Diggs (WWE Speed Women’s Semi-Final)
  • Izzi Dame vs. Thea Hail (WWE Speed Women’s Semi-Final)
