Reports: WWE NXT Booked Roadblock Double Title Match Because One Champion Is Injured

There are various reports that a "WWE NXT" champion is injured, and that's why a double-title match was booked for Roadblock.

On Tuesday's show, "NXT" General Manager Ava announced that at Roadblock in two weeks, NXT Women's Champion Giulia and Women's North American Champion Stephanie Vaquer will face off in a match where both their titles will be on the line. On Wednesday, Bryan Alvarez said on "Wrestling Observer Live" that he was initially confused on why the match was booked, but then learned that one of the women is banged up and needs time off.

Alvarez didn't confirm who was injured so as not to spoil the result, but Ibou of Self Made and WrestlePurists confirmed on X (formerly Twitter) that Giulia is hurt, but is going to work the match at Roadblock. PWInsider Elite also reported Giulia is dealing with an injury, but the outlet had not confirmed the nature of the injury at the time. PWIE also confirmed she'll work the Roadblock match.

Giulia won the NXT Women's Championship from Roxanne Perez at New Year's Evil on January 7. She successfully defended her gold against Perez, Bayley, and Cora Jade at Vengeance Day. The match against Vaquer will be her second defense.
