WWE announces two matches for this week’s NXT
WWE has made their first two match announcements for this week’s post-TakeOver In Your House episode of NXT.
After retaining his NXT Championship against Velveteen Dream in their Backlot Brawl at TakeOver, Adam Cole will face Dexter Lumis in non-title action on Wednesday’s NXT. Lumis made an appearance during Cole vs. Dream at TakeOver and drove off with Undisputed Era members Roderick Strong and Bobby Fish in the trunk of a car.
As a stipulation of Cole defeating him at TakeOver, Dream can’t challenge for the NXT Championship again as long as Cole is still champion.
Finn Balor vs. Cameron Grimes has also been announced for this week’s NXT. It’s a rematch from last month, where Grimes defeated Balor in what’s been Balor’s only televised loss of 2020.
Grimes got the win in that match after Damian Priest interfered and hit Balor with a nightstick. After the match, Priest gave Balor The Reckoning on a steel chair and revealed that he was the person who attacked Balor in the NXT locker room in April
Balor defeated Priest in their match at TakeOver last night.
