As a result, general manager Ava announced that three members of Darkstate will take on Femi, Williams, and Evans in a trios bout on next Tuesday’s WWE NXT. Also set for next week, we may learn the challenger for Stephanie Vaquer’s NXT Women’s Championship at Stand & Deliver.

Vaquer vacated the Women’s North American Championship on this week’s episode, agreeing to relinquish the title if Ava allowed her to choose her challenger for Stand & Deliver. Jordynne Grace and Jaida Parker entered for an in-ring confrontation with Vaquer, then brawled backstage later in the program. Grace and Parker will go one-on-one next week, with the winner likely to challenge Vaquer for the Women’s Championship at Stand & Deliver.
