The 2024 NXT Vengeance Day is the upcoming 12th Vengeance professional wrestling event produced by WWE, and the fourth annual held for the promotion's NXT brand division. It will take place on February 4, 2024, at the F&M Bank Arena in Clarksville, Tennessee, marking the first NXT livestreaming event to be held in Tennessee.

Production

Background

Vengeance was originally established as a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event for WWE in 2001 and it was held annually until 2007, followed by a one-off event in 2011. Since its revival in 2021, it has been held annually in February for WWE's developmental brand NXT under the title NXT Vengeance Day, a reference to the event taking place on or around Valentine's Day.[1] On November 27, 2023, NXT's fourth Vengeance Day event, and 12th Vengeance overall, was announced to be held on February 4, 2024, at the F&M Bank Arena in Clarksville, Tennessee. This will be NXT's first livestreaming event to be held in Tennessee, and it will air on Peacock in the United States and the WWE Network in most international markets. Tickets went on sale on December 8, 2023.[2]

Storylines

The event will include matches that result from scripted storylines. Results are predetermined by WWE's writers on the NXT brand, while storylines are produced on WWE's weekly television program, NXT, and the supplementary online streaming show, Level Up.[3][4]

The Men's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic is a tournament composed of eight male tag teams from the NXT brand, with the winner earning a future NXT Tag Team Championship match. The tournament began on the January 9 episode of NXT with the final scheduled for Vengeance Day.[5]

On the January 9 episode of NXT, Ava announced a 20-woman battle royal where the last four remaining wrestlers would compete in a fatal four-way match to determine a number one contender for Lyra Valkyria's NXT Women's Championship at Vengeance Day, which was scheduled for the following week.[5] Kiana James, Fallon Henley, Kelani Jordan, and Roxanne Perez co-won the battle royal with Perez subsequently winning the fatal four-way match to face Valkyria for the title at Vengeance Day.[6]

On the January 9 episode of NXT, Dragon Lee defeated Lexis King to retain the NXT North American Championship. After the match, Oba Femi cashed in NXT Breakout Tournament contract and defeated Lee to win the title.[5] The following week, Lee interrupted Femi and challenged him to a rematch for the title that same night, but Femi declined; revealing he is discontinuing Lee's tradition of open challenges. Lee instead said that he would face Femi at Vengeance Day. Femi said he would take the challenge into consideration.[6]

Trick Williams, the winner of the men's Iron Survivor Challenge at Deadline, was due to face Ilja Dragunov for the NXT Championship at NXT: New Year's Evil. However, Dragunov suffered an injury two weeks prior to the event and was not medically cleared to wrestle.[7] The title match was then scheduled for Vengeance Day.[6]
