Dame accepts the match but wants no championship stakes
Summary
– Izzi Dame defeated Layla Diggs before Zaria confronted her
– Zaria offered a Women’s North American Championship match at Halloween Havoc
– Dame accepted the fight while declining the title opportunity
Izzi Dame surprised Zaria on NXT by accepting a match at Halloween Havoc while rejecting the chance to challenge for her Women’s North American Championship.
Dame first handled business against Layla Diggs. After surviving a counter and catching Diggs during her attempt to climb the ropes, Dame connected with a knee to the jaw and secured the pinfall.
Zaria then arrived to address Dame’s attempts to uncover her past through photographs and videos.
The champion questioned what Dame was searching for and warned that those tactics were not the way to earn a championship opportunity. Nevertheless, Zaria said she was finished with the mind games and offered Dame a title match at Halloween Havoc.
Dame accepted only part of the proposal.
“I will gladly accept a match, Zaria, but don’t worry about putting that little title on the line.”
She closed by calling Zaria “princess” and telling her she would see her at Halloween Havoc.
The response left commentary questioning why Dame would turn down a championship opportunity while still agreeing to face the champion.
Zaria had offered the match as a way to end their ongoing dispute. Dame’s answer suggested that her interest in confronting Zaria extends beyond winning the title, although she did not explain what she ultimately wants.
