WWE NXT Results 11/21 - Heritage Cup Match, NXT Women's Title On The Line & More

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s results for "WWE NXT" on November 21, 2023, coming to you from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida!

Lyra Valkyria will be defending the "NXT" Women's Championship for the first time on television as she goes one-on-one with Xia Li. Li has been vying for a title shot for a number of weeks now, and the two came face-to-face last week when Li hosted a Warrior's Tea Ceremony for Valkyria.

Two weeks ago, Noam Dar successfully retained his "NXT" Heritage Cup over Akira Tozawa with some help from his Meta-Four teammates. Then last week, Dar invited Tozawa and the rest of Alpha Academy onto "Supernova Sessions", and a verbal exchange led to Chad Gable challenging Dar for his Cup. Tonight, just that will come to fruition as the two face off with the Cup on the line.

Trick Williams, Dijak, Tiffany Stratton, and Lash Legend have all qualified for the Men's and Women's Iron Survivor Challenges. Tonight, the next two entrants for the "NXT" Deadline matches will be determined as Carmelo Hayes collides with Josh Briggs, and Blair Davenport squares off with Thea Hail.

Additionally, Edris Enofé and Malik Blade will be squaring off with Humberto Carrillo and Angel Garza. Eddy Thorpe also looks to pick up a win as he takes on Charlie Dempsey.

We are live! Vic Joseph and Booker T greet audiences at home as Meta-Four and Alpha Academy are waiting in the ring.

Back at ringside, Wes Lee heads down. 

Lee says fans know him by now, and know that he's in the ring because of Dominik Msyteiro. He says Dominik holds the North American Championship, and he feels like losing the title to him was the catalyst for Judgment Day capturing all the gold. He says he sees red when he thinks about Dominik, and while people win and lose titles all the time, he felt like he found himself when he held the title. He says he felt accepted, and because of that, he needs another title shot at "NXT" Deadline.

Dominik Mysterio's music hits and he makes his way down the ramp. He says the one thing Lee does better than anyone is make fans feel sorry for him, and asks Lee why he deserves another title. Lee tells him that the only reason he still holds the North American Championship is because the rest of Judgment Day helps him at every turn, and Dominik asks Lee if he wants his title back. Lee says he does, and Dominik tells him that if he wants another shot, he has to face three former North American Champions next week. He says he will only get his shot if he does, but if he doesn't, then it's his last shot. Lee accepts his terms. 

We head backstage and see Thea Hail panicking about the whereabouts of Andre Chase as Jacy Jayne listens. Jayne says he and Duke Hudson aren't present for a good reason, and gives her some words of encouragement.
