Tonight’s WWE NXT episode will air live from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, continuing the Road to No Mercy.
Tiffany Stratton will defend her NXT Women’s Championship against Kiana James on tonight’s NXT. The title match will be Stratton and James’ first televised singles match. Their only previous singles match was a dark match before the July 21 SmackDown, which Stratton won. Stratton will be making his third televised title defense since defeating Lyra Valkyria for the vacant title on May 28 at Battleground. She won a rematch against Thea Hail at Gold Rush Day Two on June 27, then again at The Great American Bash on July 30 in a Submission Match.
