The potential new contender for the WWE NXT Championship will be declared on the latest upcoming episode of NXT set for this Tuesday night which returns with a live format. Set for a move to the CW Network, WWE’s third brand is already set for its title match defense in its new home, next month. Now, it appears that the next challenger for the champion Ethan Page will be declared, tomorrow night.
A big match between Pete Dunne and Trick Williams has been announced during last night’s No Mercy as the two will meet on the next episode of WWE NXT. In the finishing sequence of the latest bygone premium live event, Dunne dragged Williams, special guest referee for the main event of the PLE, out of the ring and put him down with the bitter end finishing maneuver.

While the rivalry between Page and Williams is also underway on WWE NXT, a new feud began after Dunne jumped Williams on several occasions in recent weeks, and told him to “figure it out.” At the Great American Bash on August 6, Dunne also defeated Williams in a singles contest as Williams will look for a retribution, this week.
