Tonight’s NXT is a bumper one with a couple of title matches and some marquee ones to boot. One such marquee bout will open the show as Karrion Kross takes on Austin Theory. Theory sparked the ire of Scarlett when he made some ill-minded comments to her, then Theory and Gargano laid-out Kross last week. Suffice to say, The Way have really got under Kross’ skin and tonight they may pay the price.

Two titles matches tonight will see Raquel Gonzalez with her first defense of the Women’s Championship as she faces Mercedes Martinez, and Santos Escobar gets a chance to win back his Cruiserweight Championship as he faces Kushida in a 2-Out-Of-3 Falls Match. The NXT Tag Team Champions, MSK, will also be in action when they take on Breezango, although the titles won’t be on the line.

The only other known match on tonight’s NXT will see Killian Dain face Alexander Wolfe. So that’s the rundown for tonight’s NXT, we want to know what you’re excited to see, so sound off in the comments! For the latest results just hit the refresh link below, and enjoy the show!
