Get ready for an action-packed night as WWE NXT broadcasts live this Tuesday at 8/7c on The CW! A massive three-championship card is locked in for the Performance Center, headlined by a brutal NXT Underground stipulation, tag team gold on the line, and high-speed stakes.
As always, we have the official card, along with my match-by-match predictions and more! #AutismAwareness
NXT Women’s Championship (NXT Underground Match)
Kendal Grey (c) vs. Lola Vice
The Breakdown: The animosity boils over into the canvas-free environment of NXT Underground. Kendal Grey must put her technical wrestling background aside to survive the ruthless striking and MMA pedigree of Lola Vice in a bout where there are no ropes and no disqualifications.
Prediction: Kendal retains, giving Lola her first ever loss in the Underground.
NXT Tag Team Championship Match
Vanity Project (Brad Baylor & Ricky Smokes) (c) vs. Myles Borne & Tavion Heights
The Breakdown: After Myles Borne successfully defended his NXT North American Championship, the stipulation unlocked this massive tag title opportunity alongside Tavion Heights. They look to ground and pound the flashy champions.
Prediction: Vanity Project retain by using the numbers game.
WWE Women’s Speed Championship Match
Wren Sinclair (c) vs. Zaria
The Breakdown: A high-velocity title defense with major future implications—if Sinclair wins, she secures a future shot at Zaria’s Women’s North American Championship.
Prediction: Wren picks up a huge winner, defeating Zaria within the three-minute limit.
Tag Team Grudge Match
Jaida Parker & Thea Hail vs. Karmen Petrovic & Nikkita Lyons (w/ Nattie)
The Breakdown: Hard-hitting tag team action featuring some of the most competitive rising stars in the women's division, with veteran guidance standing tall at ringside.
Prediction: Jaida & Thea pick up a shocking win over Karmen and Nikkita, when Nattie’s attempt to get involved backfires.
Singles Showcase Match
E.K. Prosper vs. Keanu Carver
The Breakdown: A pure clash of power and explosive athleticism as two hungry competitors look to climb the NXT ladder.
Prediction: Keanu Carver’s raw power proves to be the difference maker.
