Tonight’s NXT will feature all of the fallout from the Great American Bash last Tuesday, but will be no less huge. In fact, tonight will see the NXT Championship on the line as Karrion Kross defends against Johnny Gargano, with Samoa Joe acting as specil guest referee. Is Kross’ reign about to end, or will Gargano become NXT Champion again? Or will Samoa Joe play a role? Let us know your predictions!

Also tonight, the NXT Breakout Tournament kicks off with Ikemen Jiro facing Duke Hudson in round one action, and Sarray faces Gigi Dolan.

He listened to O’Reilly’s interview earlier and how he said “losing is just a part of life”, well yeah it is if your name is Kyle O’Reilly.

Cole wants to talk abouts Samoa Joe. The man who stood by and watched O’Reilly try to break his leg. Cole calls Joe an overpaid security guard in a suit and says he doesn’t have the guts to come out and talk to him. Nobody does. Well, Bronson Reed comes out. Reed says Cole is a master manipulator. And he no longer has the North American Championship, so he has nothing to lose.

Reed says all eyes on him right now and people want to know what his next move is. Everyone considers Cole the golden boy, well he sees him as the golden opportunity.
