This week’s episode will feature appearances from main roster stars!

WWE NXT has always been a brand that defies expectations. For years, fans have been conditioned to think of Raw and SmackDown as the flagship shows, while NXT would play second fiddle.

Yet time and again, the Black and Gold brand has proven itself capable of being the best wrestling product in WWE. With NXT Homecoming set for September 16, anticipation is running high that this event will once again showcase why NXT is so beloved.

The September 16 special episode of NXT Homecoming is set to air live from Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida.

The September 9 edition of NXT set the stage perfectly, delivering surprises that reminded fans of the brand’s unpredictability. One of the standout moments came when Fatal Influence, Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, and Jazmyn Nyx were confronted by three former NXT champions, Stephanie Vaquer, Tiffany Stratton, and Rhea Ripley.

This clash of eras highlighted what makes NXT’s women’s division such a consistent strength. Week after week, the brand shines a spotlight on its female roster, crafting layered rivalries and giving multiple contenders a platform to thrive. It’s a commitment that has made NXT the best representation of women’s wrestling in North America.

Per GM Ava, Tiffany Stratton is not medically cleared to compete in the six-woman tag match following her recent WWE Women’s Championship match on SmackDown. Lyra Valkyria will replace her in the sxi-woman tag team match.

The surprises didn’t stop there. Tyler Breeze made a shocking return, selfie stick in hand, to set his sights on Ethan Page and the North American Championship. Meanwhile, Carmelo Hayes returned to stand by Trick Williams against DIY, a reunion that carries unfinished business and teases a deeper story still to come.

Additionally, WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair will take on the #1 Contenders, Tatum Paxley and Izzi Dame, in their second title defense.
