Who tf is the dude that broke that news though

But I expected this after the weird fucking segments last night, Ilya was like "I'm still standing"

Should be amazing and brutal but I hope they never do those segments again lmao

No idea, I checked his page and the NXT one to make sure it was legit

Ilja Dragunov vs. Dijak - Last Man Standing Match​

“The Mad Dragon” Ilja Dragunov and Dijak will add another chapter to their incredible war as the two will battle in a Last Man Standing Match at NXT Battleground.

The two ferocious Superstars have locked horns many times with several backstage encounters, including one that saw Dijak crush Dragunov with a loading dock door.

Animosity escalated between Dragunov and Dijak when The Mad Dragon infiltrated Dijak’s lair and dared him to inflict as much pain as possible. Despite all the torture, Dijak couldn’t make Dragunov relent.

Now, they will finally face off in a one-on-one match, which is sure to be chaotic.​

Gallus vs. The Creed Brothers - NXT Tag Team Championships​

Rivals collide as Wolfgang & Mark Coffey take on Julius & Brutus Creed for the NXT Tag Team Titles.

The Creed Brothers have been looking to reclaim the NXT Tag Team Championships, but they could never get a fair chance, and the opportunity has slipped through their grasp for months.

That all changes at NXT Battleground when Gallus put the titles on the line in what is sure to be an incredible matchup.

Gallus have been fighting champions, letting multiple tag teams get a chance at dethroning them, but Wolfgang & Coffey have put down every challenger. Now with Joe Coffey back in the mix, Gallus are more formidable than ever and now pose a numbers problem for The Creeds.

Lyra Valkyria vs. Tiffany Stratton - NXT Women’s Championship​

The NXT Women’s Championship Tournament Final is set as Lyra Valkyria takes on Tiffany Stratton for the vacant NXT Women’s Title.

Former NXT Women's Champion Indi Hartwell was drafted to Monday Night Raw, forcing her to vacate her title, and a tournament was announced to determine the new champion.

Eight Superstars began in the tournament, but week by week the field whittled down to just Valkyria and Stratton, and now they’ll square off for the storied NXT Women’s Championship.​

@Hayterade should link this too so I have a chat when I watch the replay tomorrow

 

[Tremendez]

All these double booked shows is getting wild. Are there so many pay-per-view‘s now that we’ve run out of, Saturday and Sundays? I guess the spirit of Vince McMahon and Ted Turner lives on.

 

[Chris]

The official story is they wanted to maximize the holiday weekend

 

[Alexa]

I will be here tonight for this so I can just LD by myself, lol

 

[Chris]

Hopefully not alone, there's people I'd rather be here than in the AEW chat but I won't get my hopes up

 

[Chris]

I wonder if Smark even knows this show is happening in his backyard

 

[Alexa]

Probably not
