Tag Team title rematch added to October 2 episode of NXT
A second title rematch has been made official for the October 2 episode of NXT.
WWE announced today that NXT Tag Team Champions The Undisputed Era (Kyle O’Reilly & Bobby Fish) will defend their titles against The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins & Montez Ford) on Wednesday, October 2. Candice LeRae will also challenge for Shayna Baszler’s NXT Women’s Championship on that episode.
O’Reilly & Fish won the NXT Tag Team titles by defeating The Street Profits last month.
October 2 is the first time that NXT will air live on USA Network for the full two hours. Due to the final two episodes of the USA Network series “Suits,” last week’s and this week’s NXT have been split across the USA Network and WWE Network.
October 2 is also the night that AEW Dynamite premieres on TNT.
LeRae challenging for the NXT Women’s title was set up by her defeating Mia Yim, Bianca Belair, and Io Shirai in a fatal four-way number one contender’s match last week.
