NXT is introducing a first-of-its-kind secondary championship for the women's division - the NXT Women's North American Championship. This title mirrors the existing men's title. The inaugural champion will be crowned in a ladder match at NXT Battleground. To qualify for the match, wrestlers had to impress at a combine that tested their athleticism. The top 12 performers from the combine advanced to qualifying matches, with four wrestlers already securing their spots in the Battleground ladder match.
NXT is brewing a heated rivalry between Raw's Shayna Baszler and NXT's Lola Vice. It all started at Spring Breakin' when Baszler returned to NXT to back Vice against Natalya (also from Raw). The animosity continued, with Vice ultimately claiming victory. Both teams clashed again in a tag match, which Natalya and her partner Petrovic won. But the real drama unfolded after the match. Vice, in a shocking turn, attacked Baszler, igniting a brawl. To settle the score, NXT General Manager Ava sanctioned an NXT Underground match between the two at Battleground, a stipulation suggested by Baszler herself.
Oba Femi has been holding strong as the NXT North American Champion. He successfully defended his title in a triple threat match at Stand & Deliver against Josh Briggs, Dijak and Ivar. On the following episode, he fended off another challenge from Raw's Ivar. But just as Femi seemed to be in control, Wes Lee, returning from a long injury, emerged as a potential contender. A triple threat match was set to determine Femi's next challenger, but Ivar was unfortunately injured. Joe Coffey from Gallus stepped in to take his place. In a chaotic turn of events, both Lee and Joe emerged victorious in their qualifying match, leading NXT General Manager Ava to make it a triple threat championship match at Battleground.
NXT Champion Roxanne Perez is about to face a new challenger. During a call with the Raw and SmackDown General Managers, NXT's Ava secured a cross-brand match. The identity of this main roster superstar remains a mystery but will be revealed next week on NXT.
Battleground 2024 will take place at the UFC Apex. It is an event and production center in Las Vegas, Enterprise, Nevada. Currently, the stadium has a capacity of only around 1000 spectators. The arena is owned by WWE's sister-promotion UFC, as they both are owned by TKO Holdings since 2023.
