North American title match part of next week’s WWE NXT lineup
A match for the North American title is part of next week’s NXT lineup.
It was announced on Tuesday that Ethan Page would be defending his title against Shiloh Hill. After interim GM Robert Stone tried to come up with ideas for a challenger, Shiloh Hill came saying he forgot his machete, as he was dressed like Jason Vorhees for some reason. Stone suggested Hill as his challenger, much to Page’s chagrin.
The Speed tournament finals will also take place next week when Elio LeFleur takes on Eli Knight, the latter of whom defeated Josh Briggs to advance to the finals. The two finalists had a showdown until the men’s Speed Champion Jasper Troy came in and destroyed both men.
A four-way for the NXT Tag Team titles will take place when Vanity Project (Brad Baylor & Ricky Smokes) take on Hank & Tank, OTM, and The Culling in a fatal four-way match with the winners facing DarkState at NXT’s Atlanta event on February 24. It was originally scheduled as a three-way match, but Vanity Project was put in after defeating Hank & Tank.
Other matches will see Tony D’Angelo take on Cutler James of DarkState and Lola Vice squaring off against Kelani Jordan.
