Preview & Predictions for WWE NXT:
On tap for tonight's episode, there will be three more qualifying matches to determine the final three spots left in the upcoming ladder match to crown a new NXT champion. So far, Ricky Saints, Shiloh Hill, and "Super" Sean Legacy have qualified. Tonight, Joe Hendry fights WWE EVOLVE champion Jackson Drake, Keanu Carver faces Andre Chase, and Myles Borne and Dion Lennox duke it out for a spot. My money is on Hendry beating Drake, Carver absolutely demolishing Chase to win, and I'm assuming Borne will be either screwed out of this by Ethan Page to set up something between those two for the North American Championship, or that will end up happening later than this and Borne will get in this match, but ultimately not walk out with the title.
DarkState will also be defending the NXT Tag Team Championship against OTM. The Culling have already expressed their plans to let Bronco Nima and Lucien Price do the heavy lifting for them so they can pick on whichever weakened team has the titles. I'm anticipating Osiris Griffin and Saquon Shugars retain, by hook or by crook.
Jaida Parker is also booked to have a match against Nikkita Lyons. It's been a while since we've seen Parker in action, and Lyons has been relegated mostly to WWE EVOLVE for the past year, so don't expect to see Lyons getting the victory by any means unless Blake Monroe gets involved. But more than likely Parker wins and Monroe attacks her after the bell.
