On Monday’s episode of WWE Raw, there was a backstage segment with Teagan Nox and NXT Women’s Champion Becky Lynch where Lynch asked her why she didn’t answer her open challenge last week.
Nox stated that while she was ready, she let Natalya go first. Lynch stated that after she beats Tiffany Stratton in an Extreme Rules match this Saturday at No Mercy, she would give Nox a title shot. Adam Peace later stated Nox would face the winner of Stratton vs. Lynch on next Monday’s Raw for the title.
Last week, there was a report that Nox was originally slated to wrestle Lynch instead of Natalya, but it was changed at the last minute. This is something that Lynch confirmed while speaking to Joseph Staszewski of the New York Post.
“There is full truth in that. That was one of the things that I wanted to do with this title. I wanted to have open challenges for the women who haven’t been getting opportunities, women that have been in the back that love wrestling and that want an opportunity and haven’t been able to get it.”
