You can check out the official announcements below:
NXT Women’s Champion Io Shirai teams with Rhea Ripley against Dakota Kai & Raquel González
Mutual enemies create strange bedfellows, as will be the case when NXT Women’s Champion Io Shirai teams with Rhea Ripley against Dakota Kai & Raquel González.
Shirai retained her title at NXT TakeOver: XXX with a hard-fought win over Kai, but she felt the wrath of González, her enforcer, afterward.
However, Ripley joined to scene to even the odds, standing toe-to-toe with González in a showdown of perhaps the two most powerful women in NXT. But The Nightmare couldn’t help but leave before also locking her eyes on Shirai and her former championship.
The Genius of the Sky is surely happy to finally have backup, but will she be able to co-exist with one of the top contenders for her NXT Women’s Title?
NXT Champion Karrion Kross and Scarlett to kick off WWE NXT
Despite sustaining a shoulder injury during his match against Keith Lee at NXT TakeOver: XXX, Karrion Kross powered through a grueling bout to win the NXT Championship.
After a medical evaluation Monday, Kross will kick off Wednesday night’s WWE NXT on USA Network. What do the new NXT Champion and Scarlett have in store for NXT, given his injury? One thing is certain, the time has come for the NXT Universe to fall and pray.
Tune in to see Kross and Scarlett on WWE NXT Wednesday at 8/7 C on USA Network.
Santos Escobar defends the NXT Cruiserweight Title against Isaiah “Swerve” Scott Isaiah
“Swerve” Scott is still the only man in NXT with a victory over Santos Escobar. Will lightning strike twice when the NXT Cruiserweight Title on the line?
We’ll find out Tuesday night as they go one-on-one.
Escobar and Legado del Fantasma have largely enforced their will over the Cruiserweight division, using the numbers game to their advantage on NXT and 205 Live. “Swerve,” who hasn’t kept his desire for the NXT Cruiserweight Championship a secret, has complicated their lives, though, joining forces with Breezango in their recent rivalry with Escobar, Joaquin Wilde and Raul Mendoza.
“Swerve” proved once that he could beat Escobar during the NXT Cruiserweight Title Tournament. Now, can he do it again to capture his first championship in WWE?
