Two new big matches have been announced for next Tuesday’s episode of WWE NXT. Overall, five matches will go down with three of them being title encounters and thus making the show a must-see on the USA Network.
WWE NXT Cruiserweight Champion Kushida will defend against Legado del Fantasma leader Santos Escobar in a 2 out of 3 Falls match.
The faction came out to address MSK when Kushida came out to interrupt. The match was made after Escobar and Kushida traded promos on the show about Kushida winning the title from Escobar two weeks ago while last week’s six-man main event witnessed Escobar, Raul Mendoza, and Joaquin Wilde defeat Kushida and NXT Tag Team Champions MSK. Mendoza and Wilde also challenged MSK but there’s no confirmation whether that match will take place, next week.

Kross later featured in an in-ring segment with potential future challengers Pete Dunne, Kyle O’Reilly, and Finn Balor. The three of them ended up having a brawl while the segment concluded with Theory and NXT North American Champion Johnny Gargano attacking Kross and laying him out, in the ring.
