NXT Sets 20-Woman Battle Royal To Name Kelani Jordan's Halloween Havoc Challenger
WWE NXT announced a 20-woman battle royal for next week to decide Kelani Jordan's next challenger for the Women's NXT Championship at Halloween Havoc. The match will include NXT wrestlers, main roster stars, and competitors from EVOLVE, AAA, and TNA. Reina Volcano attacked Jordan during the announcement and said she would enter the battle royal.
WWE NXT will use a 20-woman battle royal next week to identify who challenges Kelani Jordan for the Women's NXT Championship at Halloween Havoc. General Manager Robert Stone shared the plan while Jordan was speaking in the ring, noting the field would cross brands and promotions.
Reina Volcano interrupted by attacking Jordan, then told ringside cameras she would join the match. WWE later listed entrants including Zaria, La Catalina, Xia Brookside, M and Heather by Elegance, Lizzy Rain, Nikkita Lyons, Kiana James, and Ivy Nile. Kendal Grey is still sidelined, while Wren Sinclair is serving a storyline suspension.
This cross-promotional battle royal may give more exposure to women's wrestling across WWE, TNA, AAA, and EVOLVE, potentially expanding audiences for performers from different companies. Fans could see new matchups and rivalries, while the winner may gain a career boost before Halloween Havoc. The attack angle may also increase interest in Reina Volcano and Kelani Jordan's feud, affecting how viewers engage with NXT's title picture.
