WWE NXT Battleground 2024 is scheduled for June 9, 2024, at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada, but the location and main event have been changed. The event was initially planned for Enmarket Arena in Savannah, Georgia.
Confirmed matches include NXT North American Champion Oba Femi defending against Joe Coffey and Wes Lee in a triple threat match, NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez defending her title against an unknown opponent, a ladder match to crown the first-ever NXT Women’s North American Champion, and Shayna Baszler vs. Lola Vice in an NXT Underground match.
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting that Trick Williams was initially set to defend the NXT Title against Noam Darr in the main event, but those plans have changed. He said,
“The original main event plan was Trick Williams vs. Noam Dar for the NXT Title and they shot the first angle in that direction, but Dar has been off TV, and Williams was just attacked on this past show by Gallus.”
It remains to be seen whether WWE will return to its original plan for NXT Battleground.
