WWE NXT Results – November 4th, 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.

Off the heels of Halloween Havoc, NXT has announced 4 big matches for tonight’s card. Let’s run down the announced matches for the show.

First up, Shotzi Blackheart will go against Toni Storm. This is the first time these two women have shared a ring on NXT television, so it will be interesting to see how these two women’s styles clash in tonight’s matchup.

Next, Kushida has once against set his eyes on Cameron Grimes, and Kushida looks to continue his winning streak tonight. Kushida is hot off of a victory over both Tommaso Ciampa and Velveteen Dream, whereas Grimes just lost his Haunted House of Terror match against Dexter Lumis at Halloween Havoc. Will Grimes be able to bounce back, or will Kushida keep his momentum?

Also on the card, Tommaso Ciampa looks to get his revenge on Velveteen Dream when they face off tonight. It is difficult to see which one of these men will be the face in this matchup, though Ciampa seems to have a legitimate reason for wanting to destroy Dream, and anyone that faces Dream seems to be getting the face treatment, so crowd reaction could be something interesting to keep an ear out for during this match.

Finally, Ember Moon will face against Dakota Kai. Like the previously mentioned match between Velveteen Dream and Tommaso Ciampa, this match was also announced towards the end of Halloween Havoc last week, but the history between these two goes back to Ember Moon’s return. Kai has seemed to have Moon in her sights ever since Moon came back at NXT TakeOver 31, and Moon will look to finally shake Kai tonight.

Many more questions linger in the background tonight following the events of Halloween Havoc: Who was the masked figure that helped Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae? How will Undisputed Era respond to Pat McAfee’s new faction? Hopefully we get some development in these storylines as well tonight, and we will begin coverage when NXT goes live at 8:00 PM, EST!
