WWE NXT: In-ring debut; tag team match and more set for August 27 episode

A new faction featuring three heel powers of the WWE NXT women's roster is on the rise and they now have a name. Moreover, they're all set to make a statement on next week's show in a match.

Fallon Henley, Jacy Jayne & Jazmyn Nyx officially started functioning as a group, a few weeks ago. From last night's NXT onward, they've been dubbing themselves as Fatal Influence with the further proclamation, "We are the example. We are the leaders."

A backstage promo aired featuring them where they professed love about the professional wrestling business, unlike some newcomers who joined the company because of their social media success or athletic background without grinding a bit.

It was further revealed that their first match as part of the Fatal Influence group will go down next week on NXT when Henley & Jayne will be in action against Meta-Four's Lash Legend & Jakara Jackson.

The main motto of the heels for the past several weeks is that they have issues with the premiere athletes of the roster, and on next Tuesday's show, they could finally prove a point and back up their tough words.

Karmen Petrovic will be taking on Izzi Dame in a singles contest in what appears to be a grudge match between the two. Dame put down Petrovic in the NXT parking lot causing the latter her spot in the number-one contender's gauntlet match.

Petrovic was therefore not medically cleared to wrestle and Dame assumed that she was going to take her spot. However, Brinley Reece was added to the contest which was eventually won by Jaida Parker.

A mixed tag team trios match has also been announced for the next episode of NXT, with No Quarter Catch Crew's Charlie Dempsey, Myles Borne, and Wren Sinclair facing Stacks Lorenzo, Luca Crusifino, and Adriana Rizzo.

WWE NXT August 27 episode will be broadcasted on the USA Network in a pre-taped format from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. The currently confirmed match card for the show goes as follows:
