Tonight's episode of WWE NXT featured a few noteworthy things that went down (a title change and an injury to say the least), and there were some announcements for what's to come over the next two weeks, as well.
Next week, NXT will be at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City for the special WWE Roadblock episode. Naturally, WWE wants to load that up with some important bouts, and two more were announced today to make a rather stocked card.
Earlier in the day, it was announced on social media and later reiterated on the broadcast itself that Je'Von Evans and Ethan Page will have a "New York City Street Fight" to try to settle their differences. This, of course, all dates back to when Evans won a 25-Man Battle Royal on June 18, 2024 to become the No. 1 contender, only to lose a match that same night to Page, who hadn't been eliminated from the match. They would both compete along with Shawn Spears and Trick Williams in a Fatal 4-Way match at Heat Wave, wherein Page won the NXT Championship.
Their feud came back around at Deadline when both were involved in the Iron Survivor Challenge match (which Oba Femi won and would use to propel himself to winning the NXT Championship at New Year's Evil), and then, Page would go on to break Evans' jaw. Since then, they've been at each other's throats, fighting at Vengeance Day and in a tag team match last week. This is expected to be the finale of their story.
Also added to the lineup for next week is Roxanne Perez against Jordynne Grace. Those two have also been feuding for over a year, on and off, dating back to their title match at Battleground 2024 where Perez retained the NXT Women's Championship. They've had a few scuffles since then, here and there, and this week, Perez attacked Grace backstage with a steel chair, leading to Ava booking this match for next Tuesday.
The week after Roadblock, similar to how the Evans/Page tale may end with their street fight, it looks like we're getting the grand finale of Eddy Thorpe vs. Trick Williams, as those two were announced to be in an NXT Underground match for the March 18th episode of NXT. So far, no other matches have been announced for that date.
With those announcements, here are the cards that are currently announced for the next two episodes of NXT:
