Two matches set for taped Christmas Day episode of NXT
WWE has made a couple of match announcements for next week’s taped Christmas Day edition of NXT.
NXT North American Champion Roderick Strong will issue an open challenge on the NXT episode that’s airing next Wednesday. The show will also feature Keith Lee & Lio Rush vs. Damian Priest & Tony Nese.
Strong’s open challenge was taped before last week’s NXT episode. The Lee & Rush vs. Priest & Nese match has yet to take place.
Priest defeated Killian Dain on NXT tonight. Rush lost the Cruiserweight Championship to Angel Garza last week, while Finn Balor defeated Lee and Tommaso Ciampa in a triple threat number one contender’s match. Adam Cole retained his title against Balor tonight after Johnny Gargano made his return.
WWE has announced that the teams for the 2020 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic will be revealed on the New Year’s Day episode of NXT. The winners of NXT’s year-end awards will also be announced then.
