Tonight’s loaded episode will be headlined with another Triple Threat qualifier.
This week’s match-up will feature Damian Priest, Oney Lorcan, and Ridge Holland. All three men have yet to win any belts under the black-and-gold brand; however, Damian Priest and Oney Lorcan have made a big splash during their tenure with the promotion thus far. Holland is a newcomer to NXT and will be in the biggest match of his young career thus far. Who will advance into the NXT North American Championship match at NXT TakeOver: XXX.
In a No. 1 contender’s match, former NXT Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley will take on Dakota Kai for an opportunity to challenge Io Shirai for the prestigious title on August 22. Ripley is looking to get another crack at the title after failing to win at NXT TakeOver: In Your House; however, a very hungry Dakota Kai will make sure that’s she the woman to challenge for the belt at NXT TakeOver: XXX.
For the NXT Tag Team Championship, former multi-time champions Kyle O’Reilly and Bobby Fish will look to win the belts for a record setting third time on tonight’s episode.
