WWE NXT Live Results – November 20th, 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

This is it, ladies and gentlemen. This is the go-home show for NXT TakeOver: WarGames 2019. TakeOver: WarGames always produces some fun matches, and we already have 4 scheduled matches on the card, including 2 WarGames matches. How will NXT capitalize on this momentum and get the fans excited for this Saturday?

On the men’s side for WarGames, Ciampa still needs to find a fourth man for his team. The teams obviously were shaken up last week, likely due to Johnny Gargano’s injury, so who will replace Matt Riddle for Team Ciampa? Also, Adam Cole and Dominik Dijakovic will face off in a ladder match to determine which team gets the advantage going into WarGames. Will the NXT Champion climb the ladder and secure the briefcase, or will Cole feast his eyes on Dijakovic’s victory?

Speaking of ladder matches to determine advantage, NXT UK Women’s Champion Kay Lee Ray shocked the world last week when she cost Mia Yim her match against Io Shirai and became the fourth member of Team Baszler. Who will land the final blow in this heated feud before Saturday?

Following the controversial finish in Lio Rush’s NXT Cruiserweight Championship defense against Angel Garza, will Garza look for revenge this week? There is not currently an NXT Cruiserweight Championship match on the card for WarGames, will one be added tonight?

After The Undisputed Era attacked The Revival during their Smackdown Tag Team Championship match last week, The Revival are coming to NXT to take on Kyle O’Reilly and Bobby Fish. Will the top guys prevail, or will Fish and O’Reilly’s tag team run remain undisputed?

Finally, will Smackdown or RAW superstars fire any final shots at NXT before Survivor Series? The OC invaded NXT two weeks ago, and Bayley crashed Shayna Baszler’s victory party last week, but who will show their face tonight? Both Kevin Owens and Seth Rollins have had offers from Triple H to jump ship; perhaps one of those two will appear tonight?

With so many questions still looming, we hope to get all the answers in the final edition of NXT before WarGames 2019, and we will begin coverage when NXT goes live at 8:00 PM EST!
