WWE NXT Results – November 25th, 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.

Only two matches have been announced for tonight’s edition of NXT, so let’s take a look at tonight’s card.

First up, Ember Moon is set to go one-on=one with Candice LeRae. Following the announcement that Candice LeRae will be going to WarGames, presumably as a team captain, LeRae will be attempting to gain momentum against a member of Team Shotzi, while Moon may be looking to do some damage to LeRae one week out from their match.

Also, in another match with WarGames implications, one member of Undisputed Era will take on a member of Pat McAfee’s Kings of NXT in a ladder match to determine who will gain the advantage in their WarGames match.

Lastly, while only two matches have been announced, it was announced last week that Kevin Owens will be taking the place of Wade Barrett this week on NXT commentary.

That’s all of the announcements for tonight’s episode of NXT. With only two episodes left, we will likely begin to see the WarGames card continue to take shape, and we will begin coverage of this week’s episode when NXT goes live at 8:00 PM EST!
