NXT Women’s Title holder Asuka will defend her belt at the next NXT Takeover event on June 8th.
At Thursday Night’s TV Taping, we found out who Asuka will defend her NXT Women’s Title against on June 8th at NXT Takeover Revenge. General Manager William Regal announced that it will NOT be Bayley, who is not medically cleared to compete. He announced Nia Jax vs Alexa Bliss vs Carmella later in the show to determine who would face Asuka for the NXT Women’s championship.
Nia Jax ended up winning the triple threat match to earn the right to face Asuka for the title. The two had a stare down in the ring to end the segment.
Here were some tweets from people in attendance of the NXT taping:

Let us know what you think about Nia Jax vs Asuka for the NXT Women’s title! Are you a fan of the match up??? It also begs to wonder if Bayley is dealing with a legit injury or if this is strictly for storyline purposes that she won’t be competing? Let us know your thoughts!
