WWE SmackDown star teases return to NXT; potential spoilers for tonight

A main roster WWE Superstar is teasing a return to NXT for what is sure to be a big match for the brand. Furthermore, spoilers have leaked from backstage at tonight's show.

Tonight's live NXT from the Performance Center in Orlando will feature fallout from Sunday's Vengeance Day Premium Live Event in Clarksville, TN. The event saw Lyra Valkyria retain the NXT Women's Championship over Roxanne Perez and Lola Vice in a Triple Threat. This was Vice's Breakout Tournament cash-in title shot.

WWE has not announced the next challenger for Valkyria as of this writing, but Shotzi has put her name in the hat for a potential title shot.

"#VengeanceDay was wild. Lyra and Roxanne tore it up [fire emoji]! Wonder who will be Lyra’s next challenger [eyes emoji] …I know someone. @WWENXT," she wrote.

Valkyria has not responded to the SmackDown Superstar as of this writing. If Shotzi vs. Valkyria is booked, this will be the first-ever match between the two.

Shotzi's original NXT run went from December 2019 - June 2021. She returned in October 2022 for a TV win over Lash Legend, then returned this past October for a win over Kiana James.
