WWE NXT Live Results – November 27th, 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

Tonight, we face the fallout from two huge nights for NXT. Following the events of NXT TakeOver: WarGames and Survivor Series 2019, there is no way that anyone in the main event picture is at 100 percent, but that won’t stop NXT from putting on a show tonight, including two title matches!

First, former rivals Keith Lee and Dominik Dijakovic will team up to take on one half of the Undisputed Era, the tag team champions Kyle O’Reilly and Bobby Fish in a match for the NXT Tag Team Championships. Lee is undoubtedly still beat after performing in not only the WarGames match, but also the men’s elimination match for Team NXT, but will he still have enough in him to topple Fish and O’Reilly, or will the Undisputed Era come out on top?

Speaking of Team NXT from Survivor Series, team captain Tomasso Ciampa might resume his hunt for “Goldie” tonight. A few weeks ago, Ciampa said that “Goldie” would have to wait, because “Daddy is going to war.” Now that WarGames is over, how will Ciampa resume his quest for the NXT Championship?

From the men to the women, we also expect to hear from Dakota Kai. After Mia Yim was taken out during the WarGames preshow, Kai was chosen as Yim’s replacement. However, Kai shocked the world by not only turning on Team Ripley, but specifically turning on her best friend Tegan Nox, attacking Nox’s surgically repaired knee, and even putting her hands on William Regal. Will Kai answer for her actions tonight?

Finally, Lio Rush defended his NXT Cruiserweight Championship against Akira Tozawa and Kalisto at Survivor Series, but he retained by pinning Kalisto. Tonight, he deals with the other factor of that equation, as Rush goes one-on-one and defends his title against Akira Tozawa. Will the Man of the Hour emerge victorious, or will we crown a new NXT Cruiserweight Champion?

It all happens tonight, and we will begin the coverage when NXT goes live tonight at 8:00 PM EST!

Opening Segment

We get a recap of events from WarGames 2019, including both WarGames matches.

Josiah Williams opens the show inviting the NXT roster out to celebrate the Survivor Series win. Just as the celebration hits full swing, The Undisputed Era come out. Adam Cole calls for a stop to the music. Cole says that the roster shouldn’t celebrate, because The Undisputed Era were the only reason that NXT were successful. Ciampa, Lee, Dijakovic, and Riddle stand in the ring and stare down the Undisputed Era. Cole says that no one in the audience is NXT, only The Undisputed Era are NXT. The crowd responds with a “You suck,” chant.

Cole says that they dominated at WarGames and at Survivor Series, and The Undisputed Era are the iron men of NXT. Cole says that Fish and O’Reilly will successfully defend their titles. Before Cole can continue, Ciampa cuts him off, talking about how they were defeated at WarGames and shouldn’t be so confident. Ciampa says that WarGames was the beginning of the end of The Undisputed Era, and tonight, the collapse continues when Dijakovic and Lee take the tag titles.

Ciampa says that Roderick Strong’s days are numbered, and war is over, so Ciampa is coming for “Goldie.” Ciampa says that not one person is going to stand is his way of reclaiming Goldie, and then Finn Balor’s music hits.

Finn stands in front of the Undisputed Era facing Ciampa and says, “It looks like I”m standing in your way.” Ciampa says, “Prince, you just met your king,” and he challenges Finn to a match tonight. Keith Lee says that Finn should accept the challenge, but calls Bobby Fish and Kyle O’Reilly into the ring for their match.
