History will be made this weekend when WWE crowns the first-ever NXT Women’s Champion. The qualifying matches to determine the inaugural champion will take this Saturday and Sunday from Birmingham, United Kingdom at the NEC Birmingham.
The combatants battling to become the inaugural champion will include Toni Storm, Jinny, Isla Dawn, Millie McKenzie, Nina Samuels, Dakota Kai, Rhea Ripley and Xia Brookside.
It should be noted that WWE’s original announcement for October’s all-women’s Evolution pay-per-view advertised that the RAW, SmackDown, and NXT Women’s Titles would be defended at this show. The Nassau Coliseum website mentioned an NXT UK Women’s Title bout for the show, so we could see this new championship defended on October 28th.
WWE United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne, Tyler Bate, Trent Seven, Noam Dar, Mark Andrews, Zack Gibson, Toni Storm, Joe Coffey, Jinny, and Charlie Morgan are also advertised for this weekend’s tapings.
What are your thoughts on this title being introduced and potentially defended at the upcoming WWE Evolution pay-per-view event?
This weekend in Birmingham at the #NXTUK tapings, @WWEUK Champion @PeteDunneYxB & @Tyler_Bate will battle @m_coffey90 & @WolfgangYoung in tag team action, and you can get tickets NOW! https://t.co/W3YhaxNES9 pic.twitter.com/7CaMdr36Z5
