Last week, former NXT Champion Adam Cole was left lying out cold due to a devastating kick from Pat McAfee in the main event segment. The longest reigning NXT Champion will address the incident that took place on the black-and-gold brand, and while a match-up has already been set between McAfee and Cole, this heated rivalry may escalate even further on tonight’s episode.
In another Triple Threat qualifier match, Kushida, Cameron Grimes, and a mystery opponent will battle for another spot for the vacant ladder match at NXT TakeOver: XXX. Who will be the third and final man in the contest? And will the mystery opponent drastically change the gameplan for Kushida and Cameron Grimes?
In what’s sure to be a fight, Karrion Kross will take on Danny Burch. The No. 1 contender for the NXT Championship has dominated in all of his matches thus far; however, Burch is no slouch inside the ring and will surely give up a strong and stiff fight.
All this and more is set for tonight’s episode of NXT on the USA Network. Check out the advertised matches below:
NXT Cruiserweight Champion Santos Escobar vs. Tyler Breeze in a non-title match
Karrion Kross vs. Danny Burch
Bronson Reed vs. Damian Priest
Kushida vs. Cameron Grimes vs. a mystery opponent in a Triple Threat qualifier for the "Takeover: XXX" Ladder Match for the vacant NXT North American Title
