Casket Match Returning To WWE Next Week
The casket match is back.
Night 1 of the NXT Revenge special featured a backstage segment where Blake Monroe was told that her upcoming title match against Tatum Paxley will feature a stipulation of the champion's choosing. General Manager Robert Stone later tracked down Paxley and asked if she had decided on a stipulation yet.
The Women's North American Champion said that she plans to lay Monroe to rest once and for all. Stone was still confused, but Shiloh Hill then rolled up with a casket, confirming the stipulation for their title match.
Tatum has some experience in casket matches. The last time the stipulation was seen in the company was in 2024 when Paxley beat Wendy Choo. We've not seen the match on the main roster since 2018, when Undertaker beat Rusev at the Greatest Royal Rumble.
After the latest announcement, below is the updated card for Night 2 of the NXT special taking place on April 21.
- Casket Match For NXT North American Championship: Tatum Paxley (c) vs. Blake Monroe
- Men's Speed Championship Tournament Final: E.K. Prosper vs. Lexis King
- Singles Match: Keanu Carver vs. Joe Hendry
- Last Woman Standing Match: Sol Ruca vs. ZARIA
- NXT North American Championship Match: Myles Borne (c) vs. Dion Lennox
