On Tuesday’s episode of WWE NXT, an NXT Women’s Championship number one contender battle royal was held with Dana Brooke, Jakara Jackson, Lash Legend, Elektra Lopez, Lola Vice, Tatum Paxley, Gigi Dolin, Jacy Jayne, Cora Jade, Kiana James, Roxanne Perez, Lyra Valkyria, Fallon Henley, Yulisa Leon, Valentina Feroz, Brooklyn Barrow, Kelani Jordan, and Thea Hail.
In the end, Hail eliminated Brooke and Jade at the same time to win the match. Post-match, Hail celebrated with several Chase U members. Haley and Hanna Cavinder, signed to WWE NIL deals, joined in on the celebration.
After the show, there has been speculation as to whether The Cavinder Twins, known for their careers as college basketball players at Fresno State and Miami, have signed a talent contract with the company to wrestle. While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that is not the case for now.
“That’s an interesting thing. They were there. They have not signed a talent contract yet. I checked that today. They still have their NIL contract, and they will be either…they’re [WWE] are really high on them, but they haven’t even trained yet, so who’s to say. They’re celebrities,” Meltzer stated.
