We’re just hours away from NXT and the card continues to grow.
It’s been confirmed that NXT newcomer Isaiah Scott (Shane Strickland on the independent scene) will take on NXT North American Champion, Roderick Strong. The match is currently a non-title affair; however, if Scott is able to get a win then he’ll surely be in line for a title shot in the future.
Tonight’s episode will also feature Drew Gulak defending the NXT Cruiserweight Championship against Lio Rush, who earned the opportunity to challenge for the gold several weeks back.
In another match that could have future title implications, WALTER will face Kushida for the first-time ever. The NXT UK Champion is looking to get revenge on the former New Japan star; however, can Kushida out maneuver the top dog of the UK division?
Below is the confirmed match-ups for tonight’s episode:
NXT Cruiserweight Championship
Drew Gulak (c) vs. Lio Rush
WALTER vs. Kushida
Roderick Strong vs. Isaiah Scott
