With Vengeance Day just four days away, WWE NXT presents a new episode tonight.

Bayley has a chance to become NXT Women’s Champion on Saturday when she faces Giulia and Roxanne Perez in a triple threat match. Tonight, it will be Bayley vs. Cora Jade in one-on-one action. Jade — who also has her eyes on the NXT Women’s title — attacked Bayley with a kendo stick last week.

Gold will be on the line tonight when Tony D’Angelo defends his North American Championship against Ridge Holland inside of a steel cage. The Heritage Cup is also set to be contested with Lexis King defending against TNA star JDC — the former Fandango.

Josh Briggs & Yoshiki Inamura vs. Hank Walker & Tank Ledger vs. Tavion Heights & Myles Borne has been announced for tonight as well. It has title implications with each team looking for a shot against NXT Tag Team Champions Nathan Frazer & Axiom.

Plus, WWE will follow up on Eddy Thorpe’s attack on Trick Williams that closed last week’s show.

Join us for live coverage starting at 8 p.m. Eastern time.

– Vic Joseph welcomed everyone into the show. Tony D and his family were shown walking in the parking lot. Ditto for Ridge Holland. Back in the PC, Bayley made her entrance for the first match.

Cora Jade defeated Bayley [10:36]

Jade tried to jumpstart the match, but Bayley ducked the attack and the action spilled outside. Bayley held control and went for a dropkick, leaping between the bottom rope and the mat, but Jade was a little out of place and Bayley barely connected. Back inside the ring, Jade gained the upper hand briefly, but Bayley came right back with a series of elbows for a two-count. Bayley landed a knee and Jade rolled to the outside. Bayley followed up with a dive through the ropes. As Bayley celebrated landing the dive, Jade attacked her and went on the offensive. Jade hit a series of strikes and with Bayley down in the middle of the ring, the show went to a commercial break.

The show returned and Bayley hit a type of cutter and the two brawled for a short time before Bayley hit a Bayley-To-Belly, but it only resulted in a near-fall. Bayley followed up with a series of clotheslines and a double-knees to Jade’s midsection. Bayley suplexed Jade for another near-fall. Bayley tried a Sunset Flip, but kind of missed and Jade sat on her for a pin attempt. Bayley caught Jade as Jade lunged at her and then slammed Jade for a two-count. Bayley went to the top, but Bayley’s old theme music hit and Roxanne Perez walked out in old school Bayley gear.

Bayley went to ringside and attacked Perez. Jade followed her out and hit a double underhook DDT on the floor. Back in the ring, Perez hit another one, and that was good enough to get Jade the win. Giulia was shown watching backstage and Ava walked up to her to whisper something. Soon after, Ava walked to the ring and announced that Saturday’s triple threat for the NXT Women’s Championship will now be a Fatal Four-way, including Jade. Jade and Perez hugge and Bayley attacked them both to end the segment.

– Zaria and Sol Ruca were shown talking in the locker room. Nikkita Lyons walked in and confronted them, saying one win doesn’t make Zaria and Ruca a tag team. Lyons challenged Zaria to match later tonight.
