WWE officials are reportedly discussing what’s next for the NXT Women’s Title due to Asuka vacating it after she suffered a collarbone injury during her match with Ember Moon at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn III. She announced last week at the NXT TV tapings that she was in talks with Raw and SmackDown Live.
Dave Meltzer reported on the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio that WWE has discussed having the winner of the Mae Young Classic to be crowned the new NXT Women’s Champion. WWE is planning on holding the finals of the women’s tournament in Las Vegas on Tuesday, September 12th at 10 pm EST after SmackDown goes off the air that night.
Asuka is expected to be out of action with the injury for a few months.
