20-Woman Battle Royal to determine Kelani Jordan’s next challenger
Undoubtedly, the biggest attraction of the night will be the 20-woman battle royal. The big match winner will earn a shot at NXT Women’s Champion Kelani Jordan at Halloween Havoc on October 31.
What makes the match more interesting is the competitors from multiple wrestling promotions. The match features talent from NXT, WWE’s main roster, Evolve, AAA, and TNA.
The announced participants include Arianna Grace, Layla Diggs, Indi Hartwell, Xia Brookside, M by Elegance, Heather by Elegance, Ivy Nile, Kiana James, Adelicious, Lady Shani, Lizzy Rain, Thea Hail, Skylar Raye, Zaria, Izzi Dame, Kali Armstrong, Reina Volcan, Nikkita Lyons, Chantel Monroe, and La Catalina.
Among these challengers, Xia Brookside holds the TNA Knockouts Championship, La Catalina is AAA Reina de Reinas Champion, while Zaria is NXT Women’s North American Champion. Evolve Women’s Champion Nikkita Lyons will also look to have a shot at the NXT Championship.
Zilla Fatu vs Lexis King
With the intense history between the two, Zilla Fatu will look to settle the chapter for once. King and the members of BirthRight had previously attempted to recruit Fatu, but the young star rejected the offer.
Their issues escalated when BirthRight prevented Fatu from getting an opportunity at the NXT Championship. Fatu subsequently made his intentions clear and called out King on the September 29 episode. WWE has now confirmed the singles encounter for October 6.
Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic continues
In the 2026 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, Sean Legacy and Dorian Van Dux will face AAA’s Tokyo Bad Boys, Kento and Takuma. Both teams will be looking to advance in the prestigious tournament, which has returned after a one-year absence.
The other matchup will see Hank & Tank take on Evolve representatives Shido Ash and Viktor Zanov; these two matches will conclude the first round of the tournament.
Shiloh Hill vs Naraku
The second singles matchup of the night will see Shiloh Hill taking on Naraku. Shiloh Hill feels he has unfinished business with Naraku.
Their previous encounter left Hill determined to find a way to counter Naraku’s unusual mist-based offense. Hill has reportedly been studying the different types of mist Naraku uses, adding another layer to their rematch.
