Vengeance Day. a callback to an old Ruthless Aggression Era PPV name that plays on the holiday.
Names aside, the card set to come our way Sunday at 7PM Eastern from the Capital Wrestling Center and exclusively on WWE Network looks to be the usual high quality we’ve come to expect from the black-and-gold brand.
If you’re new or someone who only checks out NXT for the live specials, we’ve got a full preview of the matches coming up for you between now and belltime. Right now, we’ve assembled a motley crew of NXT-following Cagesiders to give us their thoughts & predictions on each.
MSK def. Legado del Fantasma in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Semifinals
Red-hot NXT newcomers Nash Carter & Wes Lee battle Raul Mendoza & Joaquin Wilde for the right to advance to TakeOver. Watch WWE action on WWE Network, FOX, USA Network, Sony India and more. MSK once again treated the NXT Universe to smorgasbord of jaw-dropping maneuvers, but they ran into an equally explosive team for the first time in their scintillating tournament run. Wes Lee followed Nash Carter s moonsault off the apron with a flying tope to the outside, and Raul Mendoza & Joaquin Wilde later answered with a springboard missile dropkick followed by a huge poison rana. However, MSK s double-team blockbuster proved to be the difference, pushing Carter & Lee one victory away from an NXT Tag Team Title opportunity.
- For the first time since December, Cameron Grimes is set to appear on NXT television.
WWE has announced that Grimes will make his return on next Wednesday s episode of NXT. Grimes hasn t appeared since an angle where his leg was attacked by Timothy Thatcher on the December 9 edition of NXT.
Grimes lost a strap match against Dexter Lumis at NXT TakeOver: WarGames in December. Grimes then lost to Tommaso Ciampa on the post-TakeOver: WarGames episode of NXT, with Grimes getting into a confrontation with Thatcher after the match and having his leg attacked. It was said the following week that Grimes would be out of action for 4-6 weeks.
Candice LeRae def. Shotzi Blackheart
Shotzi Blackheart looks to settle her rivalry with The Poison Pixie, but she also has to deal with The Way’s Indi Hartwell. Watch WWE action on WWE Network, FOX, USA Network, Sony India and more. Shotzi Blackheart may have surprised Candice LeRae early, using mat-based wrestling to ground The Poison Pixie instead of her usual high-flying repertoire. LeRae answered, pulling Blackheart into the Gargano Escape until Blackheart countered with a knee to the face and followed by spiking LeRae with a DDT. Blackheart looked to be setting up for her top-rope senton before Indi Hartwell distracted her, and LeRae capitalized by hitting a huge spinning neckbreaker off the second rope for the victory.
