WWE NXT Live Results – September 25th, 2019

Welcome to Ringside News’ coverage of WWE NXT. Please keep refreshing throughout the show for constant updates once it kicks off at 8:00 PM EST

Following the no-contest finish to last week’s main event and the locker-room-emptying brawl that took place across Full Sail Arena, this week’s edition of NXT has many different directions that it could take. NXT is currently riding high on momentum after the hour 1 main event that closed the USA broadcast last week, so how will they capitalize on this momentum for this week?

After being confronted by Kushida last week, Imperium’s WALTER has issued a challenge for Kushida to find two tag team partners and face-off against Imperium in a six-man tag match. Who will answer the call and team up with Kushida?

With both men cleared to compete, Keith Lee and Dominik Dijakovic are set to go one-on-one, renewing their feud. The last time these two giants squared off, Dijakovic was victorious. Will Dijakovic come out victorious again, or will he bask in the glory of Keith Lee?

Also tonight: after spending the entirety of 2019 out with a torn ACL, Dakota Kai returns to in-ring action.

Finally, in tonight’s main event, a rematch from last week, as Matt Riddle goes head-to-head with Killian Dain in a Street Fight. However, this week, the stakes are even higher, as the winner of this match will get a future shot against Adam Cole for the NXT Championship!

All of this and more, when the black and gold brand goes live and coverage begins at 8:00 PM EST!
