The forthcoming edition of WWE NXT has quite an exciting lineup. Based on the events of the recent episode, here’s what wrestling fans can look forward to next Tuesday.
During a dialogue featuring Oba Femi and Trick Williams, Eddy Thorpe stepped into the ring. He accused Femi of attacking him and chastised Williams for his lack of leadership in finding his assailant. Exhausted by Thorpe’s jabs, Williams challenged Thorpe by offering him a title shot to prove his worth as a champion.
In a shocking twist, Thorpe later admitted in Ava’s office that he was, in fact, not assaulted. This was all a ruse to manipulate a title match, say he, “without going through 25 minutes of hell to get it.”
The Super Sonic Duo also experienced a peculiar turn of events. Axiom and Nathan Frazer both tried to do right by their partner, but ended up double booking Axiom for two matches. First, Axiom would face off against Oba Femi as revenge for the latter’s beating of Frazer at the NXT Deadline Iron Survivor Challenge. Then, he would defend the NXT Tag Team Championship along with Frazer against Gallus.
Moreover, Meta-Four’s Jakara Jackson and Lash Legend will take on Sol Ruca and Zaria in a tag team match. This follows a backstage spat where Legend and Jackson dismissed the other pair, claiming that they would have outperformed Ruca and Zaria had they been in the Iron Survivor Challenge.
There’s also speculation about an upcoming six-woman tag team match featuring Shotzi, Gigi Dolin, and Tatum Paxley against Fatal Influence, though this match hasn’t been officially announced.
Here is what the card for the upcoming NXT looks like:
– NXT Championship Match: Eddy Thorpe vs. Trick Williams (c)
– Axiom vs. Oba Femi
– NXT Tag Team Championship Match: Axiom & Nathan Frazer (c) vs. Gallus (Mark Coffey & Wolfgang)
– Sol Ruca & Zaria vs Lash Legend & Jakara Jackson
