NXT Women’s War Games Match Set For TakeOver

The first NXT Women’s War Games match has been set!

The match was announced by William Regal on last night’s NXT following Tegan Nox and Dakota Kai’s title shot against the Kabuki Warriors.

Following a losing effort, Shayna Baszler and crew hit the ring to taunt Team Kick. Tegan fought back though and a brawl ensued. This led to Rhea Ripley making the save, but Io Shirai cut her off. Candice LeRae and Bianca Belair joined the action at that point and chaos broke out.

William Regal then appeared as they were all being separated and said, “I’ve got a very simple solution for this … WAR GAMES!”

The exact teams were not finalized – so it’s unclear how many competitors will be in the match – but the segment ended with LeRae, Ripley, Nox and Kai staring down Baszler, Jessamyn Duke, Marina Shafir, Io Shirai and Bianca Belair. Baszler & Ripley were later named as Team Captains, with more info to come from CBS Sports.

NXT TakeOver: War Games is set to take place November 23.

Watch the announcement below.

Crown Jewel To Feature First-Ever Women’s Match In Saudi Arabia

WWE announced on Wednesday that Natalya and Lacey Evans will face-off tomorrow at Crown Jewel in the first-ever women’s match to take place in Saudi Arabia.

The news was made official during a press conference at King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh.

This move is a big one for WWE, as the company has caught major heat from fans for their shows in Saudi Arabia over women not being allowed to perform at the events. WWE has been trying to change that and it led to Renee Young joining the announce team in Saudi Arabia last year.

It also almost led to Natalya wrestling there in June against Alexa Bliss, but Saudi officials decided against it during the final hour.

“I never thought I’d have the opportunity to do the things I’ve done with [WWE]. Tomorrow I get to show my little girl that hard work can bring you to history-making heights. I’m ready for this,” Lacey Evans tweeted in reaction to the news.

“The world will be watching. I am so incredibly proud to represent our women’s division tomorrow night at #WWECrownJewel. It’s time to bring your best, Lacey,” Natalya added.

Watch the announcement below.

AEW World Title Match At Full Gear To Include Ringside Judges In Case Of A Draw

The upcoming AEW World Championship match between Chris Jericho and Cody Rhodes is set to include a panel of judges who will determine the winner should it end in a draw.

The announcement from AEW explains:

AEW today announced a new tiebreaker stipulation for its World Championship title match featuring defending champion Chris Jericho taking on “The American Nightmare” Cody at the FULL GEAR pay-per-view event in Baltimore on Saturday, Nov. 9.

In the event there is no winner at the end of the 60-minute time limit, a panel of three esteemed judges, who will be seated at ringside, must vote for a winner. In the event there is not a unanimous choice, the majority decision will be the winner. This will ensure that a draw will not be the outcome of this World Championship title match.

No word at this time on who the judges will be.

Other matches set to take place at Full Gear include Jon Moxley vs. Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks vs. Santana and Ortiz of The Inner Circle.
