Ahead of tonight’s show, WWE NXT has confirmed who’s kicking off tonight’s stacked January 13, 2026 episode—and it’s none other than General Manager Ava.
In a tweet posted by NXT’s official account, it was revealed that Ava will open the show live on the CW Network to address the future of the now-vacant NXT Championship.
“@avawwe_ has some big plans for 2026... The NXT General Manager will KICK OFF the show and address the future of the #WWENXT Championship TONIGHT! 📺 8e/7c on @TheCW”
This announcement sets the tone for what’s expected to be a major episode. The NXT Championship has been up in the air ever since Oba Femi left the title in the ring after defeating Leon Slater. Ava’s decision tonight could change the trajectory of the entire brand going forward.
Alongside Ava’s segment, tonight’s show also features title matches, cross-brand clashes, and multiple debuts. With Vanity Project and Eli Knight now on the roster, plus a TNA International Championship bout and a No Disqualification brawl, NXT is rolling into 2026 full speed.
Do you think Ava’s announcement will involve a tournament, a surprise match, or a major shake-up? Let us know how you think the NXT Championship picture will unfold after tonight.
