WWE's NXT brand pre-taped next week's episode already, and that included a packed night of action for fans. Sadly, one match did not turn out as anyone would have liked, as Shotzi battled Lyra Valkyria for the NXT Women's Title.

Shotzi sustained a knee injury while attempting her apron DDT during tonight's taping for next week's WWE NXT Championship match. She will undergo evaluation to confirm the severity of the injury.
Fightful's Corey Brennan reported that the NXT Women's Title match needed to be stopped midway through the contest.
"Shotzi and Lyra Valkyria's NXT Women's Title match during tonight's second #WWENXT taping was stopped due to a serious knee injury suffered by Shotzi."

Shotzi had been slated to compete against Tiffany Stratton in an Elimination Chamber qualifying match on this week's WWE SmackDown, but the status of the match is now uncertain. For what it's worth, I was able to confirm that Tiffany Stratton is in the Chamber match, so Shotzi was likely losing her qualifying match anyway.
Fightful Select later noted that this is not a work. Shotzi was in a ton of pain backstage, and she wasn't able to place any weight on her leg.
"After speaking to several sources in NXT, Corey Brennan was able to confirm that Shotzi was not able to place weight on her injured knee and was forced to hop to the back with assistance from WWE's medical team. It was apparent when Shotzi arrived backstage that she was in a large amount of pain. Officials backstage were said to be very concerned for Shotzi and she was immediately taken for medical evaluation."
Next week's episode of NXT promises to be a good episode. Apart from the NXT Women's Title match, former WWE NXT Women’s champion Roxanne Perez will take on Wren Sinclair.
On the men’s side, NXT will feature a singles bout between Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen, which may finally close the book on their story. Additionally, following their face-to-face confrontation on tonight’s episode, Lexis King will challenge NXT North American champion Oba Femi for his title.
