Kali Armstrong Plans to Pull Up to NXT With EVOLVE Title

Kali Armstrong isn’t slowing down after making WWE history—she’s taking her newly won championship on the road.

On May 31, just days after winning the inaugural WWE EVOLVE Women’s Championship, Armstrong announced she’ll be appearing at NXT Citrus Springs—and she’s bringing the gold with her. While she didn’t reveal whether she’ll be in action or who she might confront, the message was loud and clear.

“I’m bringing the FIRST EVER Evolve Womens Championship with me tonight to #NXTCitrusSprings ! Time to show up and show out! 😈💜”

Armstrong became the first-ever WWE EVOLVE Women’s Champion on the May 28 episode of WWE EVOLVE, defeating Wendy Choo, Kylie Rae, and Kendal Grey in a Fatal 4-Way Elimination Match. Rae eliminated both Choo and Grey, setting up the final showdown between her and Armstrong. The match ended when Armstrong hit her signature move—the Kali Connection—and pinned Rae to capture the title.

After the victory, WWE veteran Natalya stepped into the ring to present the championship. But Armstrong wasn’t in the mood for ceremony. Without saying a word, she snatched the title out of Natalya’s hands and walked the ring solo, holding the belt high in defiance.

Now, she’s bringing that same energy to the NXT brand. Whether it’s a surprise match, a faceoff, or just a statement, one thing is certain—Armstrong wants everyone to see that the EVOLVE women’s division starts and ends with her.
