Just hours before bell time, WWE has added a brand-new match to tonight’s NXT broadcast—and it features the long-awaited return of Jaida Parker.

WWE.com confirmed the new bout in a short preview published late Tuesday afternoon, stating that Jaida Parker will face Nikkita Lyons in singles action. This will mark Parker’s first televised match in weeks and immediately boosts the strength of an already stacked card.
