Asuka will return to NXT.
Kiana James cost Roxanne Perez a shot at earning a match for the NXT Women's Championship, and she wasn't through with the surprises. James interfered in a triple threat match between Perez, Indi Hartwell, and Lyra Valkyria, taking Perez out of the contest.
Later in the night, James announced that Perez will face former NXT Women's Champion Asuka on the October 10 episode of NXT.
This will mark Asuka's first match in NXT since 2019.
