Candice LeRae Wins Battle Royal, Earns Title Shot At TakeOver

A massive battle royal kicked off tonight’s episode of NXT, with a handful of the top female superstars in the company getting into the ring with the opportunity to become the No. 1 contender for the NXT Women’s Championship. In the end, though, it was Candice LeRae who came out on top, earning a title shot against Io Shirai at the upcoming NXT TakeOver.

Late in the match, things came down to just four competitors, with Kacy Catanzaro, Shotzi Blackheart, Dakota Kai, and Candice LeRae. After Catanzaro and Kai got eliminated, it was down to just LeRae and Blackheart, and things got hectic from there. Both superstars found themselves over the ropes and on the steel stairs, fighting it out for who would be last. Unfortunately for Blackheart, though, she couldn’t hang onto things, as she was knocked down the steps and flipped off by LeRae for the loss. With the victory, LeRae will now face off against Io Shirai at NXT TakeOver for the title, in a match that she’s been waiting for.
