On Monday, WWE announced that a number one contender’s stipulation has been added to Dolph Ziggler and Tommaso Ciampa’s match on this Tuesday’s episode of NXT. WWE issued the following:
Tommaso Ciampa and Dolph Ziggler clash in No. 1 Contender’s Match
Dolph Ziggler has come to take over NXT 2.0, but Tommaso Ciampa refuses to let an outsider jump his spot in line for the NXT Championship and take control of his house.
The Showoff arrived on NXT 2.0 to respond to NXT Champion Bron Breakker, setting his sights on one of the only titles he has yet to win in WWE. Cue The Blackheart, who promptly stepped in to tell Ziggler to get to the back of the line.
Still fuming over Ziggler’s cheap shots, Ciampa showed up at Monday Night Raw to cause The Dirty Dawgs to lose their match against Raw Tag Team Champions Alpha Academy before eating a superkick from Ziggler.
The Blackheart continued to hound Ziggler, running in to drop The Showoff as he attempted to interfere in Breakker’s title defense against Santos Escobar at NXT Vengeance Day. With both Superstars at odds and vying for an NXT Championship opportunity, Ciampa and Ziggler will square off in a massive main event to determine who is next in line to challenge Breakker.
Can Ziggler earn an opportunity at one of the few titles that has eluded him, or will Ciampa show the Raw Superstar that NXT is his house? Don’t miss a second of the action Tuesday night on NXT 2.0 at 8/7 C on USA!
