Opening Match for March 17 WWE NXT Revealed

WWE has confirmed how tonights March 17, 2026 episode of NXT will kick off, and its a major title match right out of the gate. INXT announced that the NXT Womens Championship triple threat match will open the show. Jacy Jayne is set to defend her title against both Sol Ruca and Zaria in whats already one of the most anticipated bouts on the card. The decision to start the show with a championship match immediately raises the energy level, signaling that NXT is going all out from the very beginning. Jayne enters as champion with two challengers who each have strong momentum, especially given the tension stemming from Zarias betrayal of Sol Ruca in recent weeks. With three competitors involved, the unpredictable nature of a triple threat match means the title could change hands without the champion even being pinned. That added layer of uncertainty makes this opening bout even more important as NXT sets the tone for the rest of the night. Between this high-stakes opener and the previously announced steel cage main event, NXT is clearly stacking both ends of the show with must-see moments.
