WWE’s NXT brand is gearing up for a major shift as their October 1 episode in Chicago will mark their debut on The CW. This week’s show is set to be a pivotal one, and now we have insight into how it will kick off.
NXT has plenty of moving parts at the moment, and the September 17 episode will be one of the final shows held in the NXT Arena before the brand hits the road starting October 1.
According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, Trick Williams is scheduled to open tonight’s show with a promo, while his contract signing with Ethan Page will close the episode.
Trick Williams has been chasing the NXT Title ever since losing it to Ethan Page. Although he hasn’t received a proper rematch for the championship, “All Ego” will certainly have his hands full if he wants to retain the title against Williams.
We’ll have full coverage of the September 17 WWE NXT episode here at Ringside News. As always, you never know what surprises NXT has in store, but Trick Williams seems more determined than ever to reclaim his spot at the top.
