Roxanne Perez successfully defended her NXT Women’s Championship against TNA Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace at Battleground, despite a minor interpromotional invasion. The thrilling match was further intensified by surprise interference from Tatum Paxley and the unexpected return of Ash by Elegance, formerly known as Dana Brooke.
The chaos began when Paxley attempted to make off with Grace’s TNA Knockouts Championship, leading to a tussle with Elegance. This distraction allowed Perez to gain the upper hand in a match that had been evenly contested. Grace, momentarily diverted by the commotion, returned to the ring only to be met by Perez’s Pop-Rox, securing the pinfall victory for the NXT Women’s Champion.
Perez’s victory extends her title reign beyond 65 days, a reign that began with her win over Lyra Valkyria at Stand & Deliver. Meanwhile, Grace heads back to TNA without her coveted championship, but she may have set the stage for future challenges from Paxley or another rematch with Perez after the night’s dramatic events.
