Becky Lynch (c) vs Maxxinne Dupri – Women’s Intercontinental title match

In a backstage segment last week, Maxxine Dupri approached Pearce and said she was ready for Becky Lynch. Pearce scheduled the title match for this week in New York.

As soon as he walked away, Becky Lynch appeared out of nowhere, slammed Maxxine into a road case, grabbed her by the face, and warned her that she didn’t stand a chance. The stage is set, and bad blood is on full display. Tune in to witness if Dupri can cause another upset and capture the IC title.

Nikki Bella explains her attack on Stephanie Vaquer

Nikki Bella, during the recent episode of the Nikki and Brie Show, announced that she is going to explain the shocking turn on Stephanie Vaquer at Madison Square Garden this Monday.

Bella, in a shocking turn of events, aided Vaquer to retain the title against Raquel Rodriguez, taking out Roxanne Perez. However, Bella then, out of nowhere, hit Vaquer with the title, turning heel in the process. The turn will likely kick off a feud between the two, leading to a title clash at a future PLE.
