WWE NXT Live Results – November 13th, 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

With so many moving parts still hanging in the balance and only 2 weeks left to go before NXT WarGames 2019, how will the black and gold brand build to their trademark November show?

While the men’s WarGames match is shaping up nicely, it still has one piece missing. Tommaso Ciampa has yet to announce the 4th member of his team that he will bring into war against the Undisputed Era. We have yet to see Johnny Gargano since being attacked by Finn Balor, and Gargano seems like the most obvious choice, but where would that leave Finn? Will we find out who Ciampa’s fourth member is tonight?

On the women’s side, Shayna Baszler has yet to announce the 4th member of her team. Additionally, Mia Yim and Io Shirai will clash tonight to see who will get the advantage in War Games. Perhaps Baszler’s fourth member will make her case by interfering in this match, costing Yim the win? After Rhea Ripley’s promo last week, many fans think that Dakota Kai will betray her friends and join Shayna’s team for War Games, and we might find out if that happens tonight.

On the non-WarGames side of NXT, Lio Rush is also set to defend his NXT Cruiserweight Championship against Angel Garza. Garza has been on quite the winning streak lately, defeating the likes of Tony Nese and Jack Gallagher, but Lio Rush has yet to defend his championship since winning it only weeks ago. Will Garza win the championship or will The Man of The Hour remain cruiserweight champion?

Killian Dain continued his path of aggression last week by taking out both Pete Dunne and Damian Preist. Will Dunne and Priest be looking to even the odds this week against Dain, possibly even setting aside their differences in doing so? Or will Dain continue to manhandle the NXT roster?

Finally, the invasions of the main roster continued on the most recent episodes of RAW and Smackdown, but the main roster proved last week that they are not afraid to fire back when The OC invaded NXT. WIll the invasions continue this week? If so, who will show up at Full Sail this week?

This is set to be a jam-packed episode of NXT, and we will begin coverage when NXT goes live at 8:00 PM EST!

Opening Segment

We see a recap from last week. We see The OC invading, Mia Yim being named the final member of Rhea Ripley’s team, Finn Balor attacking Matt Riddle, Angel Garza confronting Lio Rush, and everything that went down between Damian Preist, Pete Dunne, and Killian Dain.
