WWE has announced a few additions to the lineup for next week s NXT.
Shotzi Blackheart & Ember Moon will face NXT Women s Champion Raquel Gonzalez & Dakota Kai in a tag team match on NXT next Tuesday. The show will also feature Bobby Fish s return to in-ring action as he faces Pete Dunne.
Plus, there will be a Million Dollar Face-Off segment with Cameron Grimes and Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase on NXT next Tuesday. DiBiase distracted Grimes tonight and caused him to lose a match against Jake Atlas. DiBiase had appeared in videos each of the past three weeks where he used his wealth to upstage Grimes.
After five months away from WWE television, Bobby Fish made his return on tonight s episode of NXT.
Kyle O Reilly defeated Oney Lorcan on tonight s NXT but was attacked by Pete Dunne and Lorcan after the match. Fish then came to O Reilly s aid and fought off Dunne and Lorcan. Fish cleared the ring of Dunne, then O Reilly dropped Lorcan with a kick.
O Reilly thanked Fish for helping him, but he told Fish that he s doing his own thing now. Fish said he has his own scores to settle too and will see O Reilly when he sees him.
This was the first time Fish has appeared on WWE TV since Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, O Reilly, Roderick Strong & Fish) defeated Pat McAfee, Dunne, Lorcan & Danny Burch in a WarGames match at TakeOver: WarGames last December. Fish had to undergo triceps surgery following that match.
A new match has been added to the lineup for this week s NXT.
WWE has announced that Tommaso Ciampa & Timothy Thatcher will face The Grizzled Young Veterans (Zack Gibson & James Drake) on NXT this Tuesday night. Both teams have stated that they want to challenge MSK (Wes Lee & Nash Carter) for the NXT Tag Team titles.
On NXT last week, The Grizzled Young Veterans cut a promo calling themselves the leaders that the NXT tag team division needs. Gibson said they re soon to be recognized as the next NXT Tag Team Champions. Ciampa & Thatcher then interrupted The Grizzled Young Veterans. Ciampa & Thatcher also wanted to challenge MSK for the NXT Tag Team titles. The segment ended with Ciampa & Thatcher attacking Gibson & Drake.
Former NXT Champion Teases Challenging Sheamus for His United States Championship
WrestleMania 37 and announced that he s (kind of) bringing back the United States Championship Open Challenge. But unlike John Cena, who gave wrestlers fair matches week after week with the title on the line, Sheamus explained that the title will only be on the line when he feels like it. His first challenger was Humberto Carrillo, who was promptly beaten down and left unconscious before the match could even start.
Sheamus then took to Twitter on Tuesday, writing, Open Challenge to anyone willing to step in the ring & take my #USTitle.. ANYONE! tag a legit fella you think is stupid enough to have a go.
