NXT #419 - August 26, 2020
The aftermath of NXT TakeOver XXX sees a series of questions waiting to be answered!
“Absolute” cemented his position at the helm of “the Black and Gold Brand” when he captured the NXT North American Championship from Keith Lee this past Saturday night - and apparently that’s a cause for celebration, as far as “Pretty Ricky” is concerned! How will Ricky Starks choose to celebrate his landmark win?
Controversy plagued the Pat McAfee Show yesterday afternoon when the former All Pro hosted a special guest - the former NXT Champion Adam Cole. Both egos were known to be inflated to a huge disproportion, which had to have been a poorly thought idea from the start. With his loss in the Iron Man match weighing on his mind, what did “the Panama City Playboy” have to say to the SuperBowl player?
Victorious in a sixty-minute classic at NXT TakeOver XXX, Finn Bálor was faced with a new imposing force in the villainous and mysterious Karrion Kross. Flanked by Scarlett, it appeared that “the Tollman” was to lay his claim on the NXT Championship - what would Kross have to say with a live microphone before the Full Sail University?
Two bad women lock up when Rhea Ripley goes head-to-head with the insurance policy of Dakota Kai - Raquel González. Does “Big Mami Cool” have what it takes to get the job done against the imposing “Brutalist”, or will the titan be overcome by the former NXT Women’s Champion. Rhea has got to be in a foul mood following her loss in the Triple Threat match this past weekend, and looks to rebound!
PLUS: Kalisto stunned everybody with his return in the Trios match, and as a reward had earned an NXT Cruiserweight Championship opportunity against Santos Escobar…Breezango look to dethrone Ever-Rise of the NXT Tag Team Championship…If Tegan Nox wants her long-awaited rematch with Deonna Purrazzo, first she must endure Mercedes Martinez…Dijakovic continues his path of demolition in shocking fashion.
All this and more, on NXT!
