The future of pro wrestling is in WWE’s NXT brand. Young talent showcases their growth in the ring thanks to their unbelievable in-ring skills. It will get celebrated when NXT heads to the UFC’s APEX in Las Vegas for Battleground on June 9.
It is a collaboration between WWE and UFC, both a part of TKO Group Holdings. The UFC holds fight nights at the facility, which became a regular occurrence following the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic.
"We are always exploring new frontiers to showcase NXT, and we are excited to bring Battleground to this world-class event and production facility in partnership with UFC,” said WWE SVP of Talent Development Creative and former world champion Shawn Michaels.
The event features Roxanne Perez defending the NXT Women's Title against current TNA Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace. Grace appeared at the Royal Rumble this year and returned as a surprise opponent for Perez. She is a multi-time world champion, holding gold with AAA, Black Label Pro and Progress — and has won several titles while with TNA Wrestling.

A fight worthy of the APEX is an NXT Underground match between former MMA stars Shayna Baszler and Lola Vice. The way to win an NXT Underground match is via knockout or submission and there are no ropes, similar to former UFC champion Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport events. Baszler fought for EliteXC, Strikeforce, Invicta, and the UFC. Vice, real name Valerie Loureda, fought for Bellator.
Also on the line will be the NXT North American and the NXT Tag Team Titles. Finally, NXT will crown the first NXT Women's North American Champion.
