Jeremy’s WWE NXT Review 6.1.21
Hello there guys, gals, enbies, and all other NXT fans! It’s Tuesday evening, which means it’s time for another episode of NXT. I’m Jeremy Thomas as per the norm, and tonight we have a big show set with Karrion Kross’ next opponent to be determined NXT Tag Team Titles on the line, an NXT Cruiserweight Championship open challenge and more! There’s a lot to look forward to tonight and so without further ado, let’s get right into it.
As a reminder, the GoFundMe for Larry’s daughters is still active and if you can make a donation, that would be awesome. Thank you so much to everyone who’s done so thus far.
Finn Balor for the first time since he lost the title to
Karrion Kross at
NXT Takeover: Stand & Deliver. Balor has an ocean of options in front of him, it s only up to him whether he immediately goes to reclaim the title from Kross or take on a new challenge. Or perhaps that new challenge and challenger will find him before he even makes a choice? Let s find out!

Finn Balor returns to NXT tonight for the first time since losing the NXT Championship at TakeOver: Stand & Deliver.
At last month s TakeOver event: Karrion Kross defeated Balor to become NXT Champion. Tonight, Balor will speak on NXT TV for the first time since that loss.
Two stipulation matches are also set for tonight s show. The NXT Women s Tag Team titles will be on the line in a street fight as champions Shotzi Blackheart & Ember Moon defend against The Way s Candice LeRae & Indi Hartwell, while Leon Ruff and Isaiah Swerve Scott will look to settle their rivalry in a falls count anywhere match.
Raquel Gonzalez has quickly gone from the hunter to the hunted, and she’s squarely in the sights of Mercedes Martinez.
The NXT Women s Champion will defend her belt against Martinez next Tuesday night on NXT, as weeks of animosity will finally come to a head.
Ever since Gonzalez ascended to the top of NXT with her win over Io Shirai at NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver, Martinez hasn’t been shy about wanting to knock her from atop the mountain.
But “Big Mami Cool” has showcased her awe-inspiring power in return, and Martinez felt Gonzalez’s full wrath while battling her ally Dakota Kai on NXT.
