The first-ever Women’s North American Champion will be crowned at WWE NXT Battleground.
At NXT Stand & Deliver, General Manager Ava announced that the brand would be introducing the new title in the near future, which will be the first time that a women’s mid-card championship will be on the brand.
During the April 30th broadcast of NXT, more details were announced as to how the first champion will be crowned. Much like the inaugural Men’s North American Champion, 6 women will face off in a ladder match at the upcoming Premium Live Event to become the first-ever champion. A combine will be held on the May 7th episode to narrow down the potential competitors to 12. The remaining 12 athletes will battle it out in qualifying matches to narrow the field down to 6, who will advance to the ladder match. Main roster star Michin has already declared for the combine.
