It looks as if Hit Row could be facing Killian Dain & Drake Maverick tonight on NXT after a parking lot confrontation before the show. WWE posted a video with Hit Row arriving at the Capitol Wrestling Center and making fun of Maverick and Ever-Rise who were on their way in. Things got heated and Dain showed up, leading Hit Row to walk off.
WWE has yet to announce any such match for tonight’s show. You can see the video below:

– Pete Dunne says he’s the most dangerous man in NXT, running down all the champions on the brand and why he’s better than them on tonight’s show. Dunne appeared in a backstage promo talking about how he already beat the now-NXT Cruiserweight Champion Kushida at NXT Takeover: Stand & Deliver and wasn’t scared of North American Champion Johnny Gargano, NXT UK Champion WALTER, or NXT Champion Karrion Kross. You can see the promo below:
– WWE posted a clip from Killian Dain & Drake Maverick’s match against Imperium, which you can see below. Imperium got the win despite some miscommunications and torn loyalties:
NXT recap & reactions (Apr. 27, 2021): Adam Cole is back, bay bay!

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.
Never at a loss for words.but Tuesday.I have a lot to say. https://t.co/tX5PZ3ig44 Adam Cole (@AdamColePro) April 25, 2021
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.
Commentators: Beth Phoenix, Vic Joseph, Wade Barrett
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.
