The future of the NXT Championship will be determined on Tuesday, as Ava, the NXT General Manager, is scheduled to address the situation live during WWE NXT on The CW. This announcement arrives just days after Oba Femi vacated the title following his recent match on last week’s show.
Ava Set to Outline What’s Next for the NXT Championship
WWE made it official via social media on Saturday, confirming that Ava will step forward during the next episode to provide the NXT Championship future update. This comes after a dramatic turn of events last week, when Femi, who had retained his championship status in a main event showdown against Leon Slater, left the title belt behind in the ring. The following day, WWE declared the NXT Championship officially vacated, making this upcoming announcement especially significant for fans and wrestlers alike.
