Mandy Rose In Action, Samoa Joe Segment Set For 8/31 NXT

A women's bout has been added to Tuesday's NXT.

NXT announced that Mady Rose vs. Sarray will kick off the August 31 episode of NXT.

This will mark Mandy's first match in NXT since 2017 when she competed in a live event. It's her first televised NXT match since the September 28, 2016 episode of the show when she lost to Ember Moon.

From WWE:

Mandy Rose is rolling with a new crew, but will that be enough for her to overcome Sarray?

Following their defeat at the hands of Kacy Catanzaro & Kayden Carter last week, a dejected Gigi Dolin & Jacy Jayne found themselves in front of The Golden Goddess, who offered them an opportunity to join her going forward.

With some backup secured, Rose looks to make a statement in the opening match on NXT tonight against the dangerous Sarray.

Don’t miss NXT tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network!

Plus, Wade Barrett will speak to Samoa Joe in a sit-down interview.
