Last week NXT was shaken to it’s core by the massive main event. We are no longer in the Undisputed Era of the brand, but rather The Limitless Era, after Keith Lee defeated Adam Cole to become both the NXT and North American Champions. While this week will have a hard time matching up to The Great American Bash, we have a stacked card all the same. Let’s look at what WWE has announced.
Io Shirai Defends NXT Women’s Championship Against Tegan Nox
The moment Io Shirai signed with WWE, everyone knew she would eventually win the NXT Women’s Championship, and this came true at NXT Takeover: In Your House. However now comes the time to defend this championship. She had a big singles match with Sasha Banks as part of The Great American Bash, but it was non-title, but earlier on that same show, Tegan Nox defeated Dakota Kai, Mia Yim and Candice LeRae to earn her shot at the new champion, a shot which she gets tonight. Nox is looking better than ever, and we could be calling her champion before the night is through.
Damien Priest Gets His Hands On Cameron Grimes Again
For weeks now, Damien Priest has had a thorn in his side, a thorn by the name of Cameron Grimes. He’s had his tires slashed, was attacked in the parking lot, and the last time they faced off Priest was far from 100%. However now he gets a proper chance at revenge, and gets to face Grimes at full power… provided there is no trickery before the bell rings.
Keith Lee Makes His First Address As Double Champion
Winning the championship can often be the easy part, and now everyone in NXT will want a piece of Keith Lee. Doubly so, since he holds not one, but two championships. He will come out to address the fans of NXT tonight, and we might have a better idea of who will step up first to challenge him. We know Karrion Kross has his eyes on Lee, but we can’t count out Cole wanting a rematch, Dijakovic wanting another shot at his best rival, or even Ciampa making his return. All we know is that someone will likely make their way out to confront Lee, and he will stand his ground.
We can also expect something involving Robert Stone this week, as he has been teasing that he & Aliyah will get revenge on Shotzi Blackheart. What are you most looking forward too this week on NXT? Let us know what you think in the comment section down below.
