Carmelo Hayes defends the NXT Championship against Bron Breakker​

The NXT Championship is on the line as bitter rivals Carmelo Hayes and Bron Breakker square off once again for the black and gold brand’s biggest prize.

Hayes won the title from Breakker at NXT Stand & Deliver and the loss sent Breakker into a tailspin, causing him to become erratic, unhinged, and even violent.

After destroying Chase U, Breakker turned his sights back to Hayes and Trick Williams and annihilated them both via his signature spear.

Breaker’s attacks have left Hayes a broken man and caused him to be hospitalized, but the champ remains undeterred and looks forward to stepping into the ring with his rival.

Hayes may be HIM, but Breakker is a whole different animal.​

I can see Cora vs Tiffany for the belt but that would mean two heel vs heel matches in the same PPV. Makes me think Lyra will beat Cora.

it's a shame WWE are greedy and couldn't put this at a time where another major PPV is happening, gonna miss out on a lot of engagement.

Thankfully I'm pretty sure I'm off work the day after since Memorial Day falls a little earlier in May this year so I'll be able to watch Monday at home instead of at work

that's not too bad

It's also the same weekend as the Saudi show which is early in the day Saturday, gonna be a ridiculous weekend. I don't think there's usually that many indie shows in Vegas for DoN compared to like All Out tho so might just mostly be WWE/AEW content

Heritage Cup Champion Noam Dar vs. Dragon Lee​

One of the most prestigious prizes in NXT is on the line as Noam Dar defends the Heritage Cup against Dragon Lee.

The Scottish Supernova has caused nothing but headaches since returning to NXT just a few weeks ago, ruffling the feathers of several Superstars, but none more so than the electrifying luchador, Dragon Lee.

The masked Superstar clashed with Dar on several occasions, but it wasn’t until an appearance on “The Supernova Sessions” where Lee made it clear that he wants to rip the Heritage Cup out of Dar’s clutches.

NXT North American Champion Wes Lee vs. Tyler Bate vs. Joe Gacy​

Wes Lee is currently enjoying a historic reign as North American Champion, but for how much longer?

Lee has put down every challenger, but he has recently needed some help from Tyler Bate, who has aided him at ringside and shared healing moments backstage through their meditation sessions.

Jealous of this partnership, Joe Gacy made it his mission to drive a wedge between the two Superstars, but it backfired into them agreeing to a match at Battleground. Ever the fighting champion, Lee allowed Gacy into the match to make it a Triple Threat.​

 

[Y2Jayne]

Don't be mad @Blaze but I hope Gacy wins that one
