WWE NXT Results – June 10th, 2020

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.

Hot off the heels of NXT TakeOver: In Your House, NXT rolls on with another episode from the black and gold brand. Only two matches have been announced for tonight’s card, but let’s look at them.

First up, following on from his victory over Damien Priest, Finn Balor looks to right the wrong weeks ago in a rematch against Cameron Grimes. Grimes was able to defeat Balor the last time these two met, but only due to the help of the Archer of Infamy. With Priest dispatched with that nasty bump to the steel steps, will Balor be able to overcome the Cave In this week?

From one winner at In Your House to another, the NXT Champion looks to clear away another thorn in his side when Adam Cole takes on Dexter Lumis in a non-title bout. Lumis has caused problems for the Undisputed Era for months, and after he dealt with Velveteen Dream this weekend, Cole could be looking to spend Lumis packing too.

Also for tonight, while no official match has been announced for either superstar, this week’s promo for the show promoted matches for both Karrion Kross and the new NXT Women’s Champion, Io Shirai. How will each of these competitors capitalize on their momentum following huge wins at TakeOver?

All of this tonight as NXT rolls on with another packed episode, and we will begin coverage when NXT goes live at 8:00 PM EST!
