NXT General Manager Robert Stone announced that Layla Diggs is unable to compete in her scheduled match for the NXT Women’s North American Championship on the July 14 episode due to an injury.
Stone said Diggs suffered the injury at an NXT live event in Sebring, Florida, on July 11. She had earned the title opportunity by defeating Lizzy Rain, Izzi Dame, and Thea Hail in a four-way match the previous Tuesday.
The championship match against Zaria was set for the July 14 episode of WWE NXT on The CW. Stone confirmed a replacement will be found so the title match can still occur.
Stone stated: “NXT General Manager Robert Stone here to deliver the unfortunate news that this past Saturday in Sebring, Florida at an NXT live event, Layla Diggs got injured. Therefore, her championship opportunity against Zaria for the North American Title isn’t able to happen this Tuesday. However, I promised the NXT universe a North American Championship match, and a North American Championship match they will get.”
The updated lineup lists Zaria defending against a TBA opponent.
