Tegan Nox vs. Dakota Kai announced for next week’s NXT
WWE is advertising a grudge match for next week’s episode of NXT.
During tonight’s show, WWE announced that Tegan Nox vs. Dakota Kai will take place on NXT next week. This will be the first time they’ve faced off since Kai turned heel and attacked Nox at NXT TakeOver: WarGames back in November.
For the first time since TakeOver: WarGames, Nox returned from her storyline injuries on last week’s NXT. She was eliminated from the number one contender’s battle royal when Kai appeared and attacked her.
Bianca Belair won the battle royal and will challenge for the NXT Women’s Championship at TakeOver: Portland next month.
This year’s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic finals have also been announced for next Wednesday’s NXT. Matt Riddle & Pete Dunne will face The Grizzled Young Veterans (Zack Gibson & James Drake) to determine which team will win the tournament.
WWE built up Nox vs. Kai via a video that aired on NXT tonight:
