During Tuesday’s event emanating from the WWE Performance Center, Tiffany Stratton valiantly retained her NXT Women’s Championship in a fierce battle against Kiana James. As the aftermath of the match unfolded, an electrifying revelation came through the big screen: Becky Lynch declared her impending return to NXT. The purpose? To challenge Stratton for the coveted championship title, setting the stage for a colossal showdown on the September 12 episode.
The relationship between Tiffany Stratton and Becky Lynch has seen rising tensions in recent weeks, initially stirred when Stratton, in a lapse, erroneously referred to Lynch as a former NXT Women’s Champion during a promo. This placed Lynch in a league with illustrious former champions such as Kanako Urai known as Asuka, Bayley, and Charlotte Flair. This verbal slip has paved the way for a series of encounters, including Stratton becoming a noticeable presence in the Monday Night Raw audience, and a fleeting confrontation at Payback where Stratton disrupted Lynch’s backstage interview.
Lynch, a cornerstone in NXT from 2013 to 2015 before ascending to the main roster, is no stranger to the NXT environment. Although it’s been a while since her regular NXT appearances, Lynch rekindled her NXT connection briefly in 2019, contributing to the buildup of that year’s Survivor Series pay-per-view.
As the wrestling community anticipates this high-stakes matchup, fans are eager to witness if Lynch can reclaim her NXT glory and how Stratton will uphold herself against such a seasoned adversary. The road to the September 12 episode is paved with anticipation and high expectations for a memorable clash between the two powerhouses.
