NXT Championship match part of next week’s WWE NXT lineup
Two title matches are part of next week’s NXT lineup.
Tony D’Angelo announced on Tuesday that he would be defending his title next week against Kam Hendrix. But he also wanted to address someone else: Naraku, who came to the ring. The former EVIL explained that he would make sure D’Angelo retains the title next week, as they are meant to wage war over the title.
Meanwhile, Lexis King will defend his Speed Championship against Romeo Moreno, who defeated Nathan Fraizer in a surprise upset on Tuesday with just seconds left to go in their match. Moreno advances to the finals after Dorian Van Dux and Sean Legacy went to a time limit draw in their match earlier in the night.
After DarkState took out Saquon Shugars from the group last week, they explained their actions on Tuesday, saying he was an independent wrestler while they were D1 athletes. They also promised they would be going after people again, making a statement later in the show when they jumped Myles Borne and Tavion Heights as they were arguing backstage, setting up a tag match for next week.
Other matches will see Lizzie Rain looking to gain a measure of revenge over Zaria, while Tate Wilder will face Jackson Drake after throwing out a challenge during a backstage segment.
