Two title matches official for this week’s NXT
Two title matches have been made official for this week’s post-Survivor Series edition of NXT.
WWE has announced that NXT Tag Team Champions The Undisputed Era (Kyle O’Reilly & Bobby Fish) will defend their titles against Keith Lee & Dominik Dijakovic on tomorrow’s show. Akira Tozawa will also challenge for Lio Rush’s NXT Cruiserweight Championship tomorrow night.
Team Ciampa (Tommaso Ciampa, Lee, Dijakovic & Kevin Owens) defeated The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Roderick Strong, O’Reilly & Fish) in the men’s WarGames match at NXT TakeOver on Saturday. Lee and Ciampa also represented NXT in the men’s elimination tag match at Survivor Series, with Roman Reigns last eliminating Lee to get the win for Team SmackDown.
Rush retained his Cruiserweight title in a triple threat match against SmackDown’s Kalisto and Raw’s Tozawa on the Survivor Series pre-show. He pinned Kalisto to win the match.
Rush’s win was one of the four brand vs. brand vs. brand matches that NXT won at Survivor Series. They won the night at the PPV, with SmackDown getting victories in two matches and Raw winning one.
