WWE NXT preview: Nov. 15, 2017: Champion and challenger come face-to-face before TakeOver title clash
On the final WWE NXT before TakeOver: WarGames, NXT Champion Drew McIntyre finally gets his chance to stare challenger Andrade “Cien” Almas in the eye. Plus, The Street Profits settle the score with Tino Sabbatelli & Riddick Moss, Ember Moon battles Mercedes Martinez for the first time ever and much more.

Just days before they lock up at TakeOver: WarGames, NXT Champion Drew McIntyre and upstart challenger Andrade “Cien” Almas will meet for a face-to-face tonight on WWE NXT.

Almas was granted the title match after he strung together a series of big wins, but even prior to that, when Almas & Zelina Vega first made their championship ambitions known, McIntyre had just one, simple request: For Almas to challenge him face-to-face, “like a man.”

Instead, “Cien” and Vega staged an ambush on Nov. 1, the night of their contract signing, with Almas laying out the Scottish brute with an attack from behind.

Vega claims nobody in NXT can touch the “new” Andrade Almas, and we’ll find out for sure this Saturday when he goes up against McIntyre. However, after all the trash-talk that Vega & Almas dished McIntyre’s way, one can only wonder if the TakeOver fireworks won’t start a little early.

Will Ember Moon make Mercedes Martinez eat her words?
Ember Moon’s quest to become NXT Women’s Champion has had its share of false starts, but she hopes to reverse her fortunes and finally claim the vacant title in this Saturday’s Fatal 4-Way Match against Kairi Sane, Nikki Cross and Peyton Royce.

However, before NXT’s War Goddess can steady her focus on making history in Houston, she must first deal with decorated ring veteran Mercedes Martinez tonight on NXT.

The match stems from comments Martinez made about Moon three weeks ago in which The Latina Sensation claimed Moon was incapable of winning “the big match.”

Will Moon prove the battle-tested ring warrior wrong, or will Martinez deal Moon a critical loss just days before the biggest match of her life?

The games between Street Profits and Sabbatelli & Moss come to an end
The Street Profits bring the swag like nobody can, but Tino Sabbatelli & Riddick Moss like to think they come pretty close.

Always happy to brag about their expensive sports cars and tailor-made wardrobes, Sabbatelli & Moss live the good life, and they want everyone to know it. Considering this, Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkinsmight be forgiven for having a little fun at Sabbatelli & Moss’ expense in recent weeks — for example, Ford intercepting Sabbatelli’s $5,000 suit when it was returned from drycleaners and pretending it was his.

Though the NXT Universe has warmly embraced the Profits’ playful antics, the same cannot be said for Sabbatelli & Moss. After the teams’ latest run-in, it was agreed that the only way to settle their differences is inside the ring, laying the foundation for tonight's big tag team showdown.

Which fast-rising tandem will come out on top? Find out tonight when WWE NXT streams on WWE Network, just three days before all eyes turn to NXT TakeOver: WarGames.

Is Mercedes a regular on NXT now then? I literally don't watch other than the Takeovers.

This is her second appearance in the last few weeks, so they may be close to signing her or already have.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

I can't think of a better way to open NXT than with the Street Profits.

This generic team has a banger of an entrance theme.

I didn't think much of these two rich kid gimmicks when they started out, but they're starting to fill out their characters name make me want to see them get their comeuppance. Job well done. They also got a cool theme.

I mean he's not that hard to understand. They should be in-line by now. Get rid of him.

Velveteen just wants some respect around here. Dammit.

Such a jingoist

NXT shouldn't employ a bigot like that.

 

[Deezy]

Wrestling should only use meat head music for PPV themes.

It's just scientific fact now.
