Changes have been made to the WWE NXT TakeOver XXX card courtesy of the announcement via the WWE NXT General Manager William Regal. He announced the list of competitors in the Ladder Match for the Vacant NXT North American Title had to be altered.
Regal confirmed during last night’s episode that Dexter Lumis has been pulled from the five-man Ladder Match due to an ankle injury. He then announced that in two weeks, the names who were not pinned or submitted in the previous Triple Threat qualifiers will meet in a couple of singles matches. Winners of those two matches will earn the final two spots in the Ladder Match at NXT TakeOver.
