Baron Corbin appeared on WWE NXT again this week and found himself confronted by Ilja Dragunov following which he battled Trick Williams in singles action.
Tuesday’s episode of WWE NXT saw Corbin cut a promo in the ring, accusing the NXT brand of becoming soft and entitled. The former Money In The Bank winner declared that his goal is to make every single NXT talent regret signing a developmental contract with WWE.
Corbin’s promo brought out Ilja Dragunov, who boasted his upcoming NXT Title shot against Carmelo Hayes. Corbin and Dragunov then agreed to a match, but the bout was canceled after Bron Breakker brutally assaulted Dragunov backstage.
Corbin instead faced Trick Williams and scored a win via his End of Days finisher.
You can check out some highlights from the match and segment below:
Thea Hail will be Tiffany Stratton’s first NXT Women’s Title challenger, having won a Battle Royal on Tuesday night’s episode of WWE NXT.
