Dominik Mysterio & Rhea Ripley segment announced for WWE NXT
One week after being crowned the new North American Champion, Dominik Mysterio is set to appear on NXT.
WWE has announced that Dominik and Rhea Ripley will kick off NXT this Tuesday night. Dominik defeated Wes Lee in last week’s main event to win the North American title.
Dominik won the championship with help from his Judgment Day stablemates. Lee was initially able to fend off interference by Damian Priest and Finn Balor, but a title belt shot from Ripley led to Lee losing the match.
Dominik has already made his first title defense, retaining against Butch on SmackDown last Friday.
Mustafa Ali was slated to challenge Lee for the North American Championship at NXT Great American Bash this Sunday (July 30). Tuesday’s NXT episode should provide some clarity on what the North American title match at Great American Bash will be.
Here’s the updated card for Tuesday’s NXT:
- Carmelo Hayes, Trick Williams & Ilja Dragunov vs. Joe Gacy & The Dyad
- Gable Steveson will decide his future
- Kendo stick match: Cora Jade vs. Dana Brooke
- Dominik Mysterio & Rhea Ripley will kick off the episode
