The status of the Davenport show had been in question until today due to Hurricane Helene. Many wrestling shows have been affected by the same.
TNA recently re-scheduled their TV tapings set for Friday and Saturday while MLW canceled their St. Petersburg show on October 4. Joe Hendry is unable to make this weekend\'s House of Glory event due to it. WWE earlier today confirmed however that the NXT house show will continue as planned.
Apart from the return of the injured star, the show also featured Giulia in action. The Japanese star picked up a victory over Wren Sinclair during the event.
Nikkita Lyons In NXT
Nikkita Lyons signed with WWE in 2021 and made her in-ring debut later that year. The female star caught the eye of the fans and went viral after debuting on NXT but her short run has been littered with injuries.
Early in her career, she had to be removed from the NXT Women\'s Breakout Tournament of 2022 after suffering a partial MCL tear and an MCL sprain.
The young star spent most of the 2023 rehabbing as well after suffering a torn ACL and meniscus in a match against Jakara Jackson during the January 17, 2023 episode of WWE NXT Level Up.
It had been less than a month since Lyons returned to action when she was put on the shelf again in early 2024. Prior to tonight\'s show, she competed against Blair Davenport at the January 9, 2024 episode of NXT.
