Next Tuesday’s WWE NXT episode will feature two big gimmick matches.
WWE has announced that NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions Ember Moon and Shotzi Blackheart will defend against The Way’s Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell in a Street Fight.
NXT General Manager William Regal granted the title shot to The Way last week. The Street Fight stipulation was added on tonight’s show after The Way attacked Moon and Blackheart before their non-title match with Aliyah and Jessi Kamea.
A Falls Count Anywhere Match between Leon Ruff and Isaiah “Swerve” Scott has also been announced for next Tuesday’s show.

Adam Cole is back (bay bay)
The former “Undisputed” ruler of NXT Adam Cole finally recovered from the injuries he suffered battling Kyle O’Reilly at Takeover: Stand & Deliver. Never at a loss for words, the loquacious Lothario had a litany of complaints upon his return to the venue.

He certainly wasn’t at a loss for words speaking to Arash Markazi, including berating him for making him wait outside in the hot baking sun to do the interview. Cole implied that despite his win at Stand & Deliver, O’Reilly was far from ready to be a main event player in NXT.

The Tuesday escapades continues with the return of Adam Cole for the first time since his loss at Takeover. That could be interesting, though if nothing else it is kind of a relief that he is not heading up to the main roster. Other than that, we have a pretty big six man tag to fill out the wrestling side of things. Let’s get to it.
Opening sequence.
Dakota Kai vs. Mercedes Martinez
Raquel Gonzalez is here with Kai. Martinez gets taken to the mat to start but bounces out of a headscissors and slaps her in the face. Back up and Martinez hits a spinning spinebuster (it seems like we get three of those per show these days) for two but Kai grabs a Rock Bottom backbreaker for the same. The running boot in the corner misses though and Martinez hammers away.
Next week s episode of NXT will feature Finn Balor s first appearance since losing the NXT Championship.
WWE has announced that Balor will make his return to NXT next Tuesday. Balor will speak on the show for the first time since Karrion Kross defeated him to win the NXT Championship at TakeOver: Stand & Deliver night two earlier this month. Viva Mexico! Recharged, refreshed & refocused. Next Tuesday, Finn is back, Balor wrote on social media.
Prior to losing the title to Kross, Balor had been NXT Champion since September of last year. Balor defeated Adam Cole to win the then-vacant title after Kross had to relinquish the championship due to injury. Kross won the NXT Championship from Keith Lee at TakeOver XXX last August but suffered a separated shoulder during the match.
