WWE NXT preview, March 25, 2020: The Game comes to NXT
As first reported by Sports Illustrated, Triple H will be on tonight's edition of NXT. Just what does The Game have in store for the black-and-gold brand? Find out tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network!

Triple H to appear on tonight’s NXT on USA Network
Triple H will appear on tonight’s edition of NXT on USA Network, as first reported by Sports Illustrated.

Sports Illustrated also reported that several of the matches originally scheduled for NXT TakeOver: Tampa Bay will instead take place over the next few weeks on NXT, starting with the April 1 edition of the weekly USA Network spectacular.

Could The Game’s appearance have anything to do with this news?

Matt Riddle battles Undisputed ERA’s Roderick Strong
Matt Riddle, one half of the NXT Tag Team Champions, will have to deal with yet another member of Undisputed ERA tonight on NXT, as he goes one-on-one with Roderick Strong.

Strong will certainly be out to punish Riddle, who along with fellow BroserWeight Pete Dunne, dethroned UE members Kyle O’Reilly & Bobby Fish to win the titles at TakeOver: Portland. Will his master of the backbreaker put Riddle on the mat, or will The Original Bro continue to keep the upper hand on Undisputed ERA?

Adam Cole has a special message for the NXT Universe
Just days ago, Adam Cole became the longest reigning NXT Champion in history, surpassing Finn Bálor’s 292-day turn as titleholder.

The Undisputed ERA’s leader has a special message for the NXT Universe, and plans on sharing it tonight. Just what does Cole have in store?

Candice LeRae faces Kayden Carter in Ladder Match qualifier
Qualifying Matches for the NXT Women’s Championship No. 1 Contender’s Ladder Match will continue tonight on NXT with two big bouts. One will see Candice LeRae go one-on-one with fiery upstart Kayden Carter.

LeRae has made it clear that she wants an opportunity at the title, while Carter is out to make a major impression on the NXT Universe and perhaps get a little payback on Chelsea Green, who has already qualified for the Ladder Match.

Who will move one step closer to an NXT Women’s Championship opportunity?

Ladder Match qualifying continues as Xia Li takes on Aliyah
The second qualifier is a personal battle, as Xia Li steps in the ring with Aliyah.

These two last clashed on the Nov. 13, 2019 edition of NXT. Li was victorious with a devastating spin kick that broke Aliyah’s nose. Will Aliyah make Li pay, or will Xia boot her way to victory and a spot in the No. 1 Contender’s Ladder Match? Find out tonight on NXT at 8/7 C on USA Network!

Tyler Breeze takes on Austin Theory
The budding rivalry between Tyler Breeze and Austin Theory will finally reach the squared circle tonight.

Two weeks ago, Theory interrupted Prince Pretty in the middle of an interview where he was talking about what the WWE Performance Center means to him. Theory mocked Breeze, saying that he would eclipse all of Breeze’s success. Prince Pretty responded by snapping a picture of Theory, saying he looked good for a flash in the pan.

Who will stand tall?

What will be the fallout of Ciampa and Gargano’s destructive brawl?
Two weeks ago, Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano tore through the WWE Performance Center (and each other) in a wild brawl all over the training facility. The melee ended with The Blackheart driving Johnny Wrestling through the announce table with an Air Raid Crash off the perch overlooking the arena.

Gargano left the PC on a stretcher, and both men were listed on the NXT Injury Report in the aftermath of the fight. NXT General Manager William Regal said he would be dealing with both Superstars privately in the wake of their carnage.

What will be the fallout of this unforgettable brawl? Find out tonight on NXT at 8/7 C on USA!

Outside of Riddle vs Strong this looks like a really skippable NXT this Week to me. Why is WWE giving Kayden Carter and Aliyah shots to get into the Ladder Match vs talent like Kai and Conti? I get it Kai loss to Nox, but you see how those talents would be an upgrade vs the people you're throwing out there.

Good shit from this episode tho, glad they're pushing new angles and we even had fuckin' debuts with everything going on. Still weird with no fans or anything but this by far felt like the most "normal" show since this shit started that I've seen. Comparable to how AEW has been the last couple weeks with making the best of a terrible situation.

I popped for Malcolm Bivens finally debuting. That dude is hilarious on Twitter and I’ve been wanting him on TV.

The Gargano/Ciampa segment was fun stuff, and Riddle/Roddy was good too.

Killer Kross :mark:

Never judge a Book by it's cover is what I learned this Week because I looked at what is going to happen and everything came off strong at least for me. I hope with these empty Arenas with no Crowd, the talent start to learn to wrestle on the fly more vs talking to each other so much during Matches. I'm saying that because the Crowd can mask the talking and I'm happy to see that the Crowd is not effecting the talents, but we will see what happens when these big Matches start happening and we'll see if the talent lose themselves in Matches.

A nice opener between Breeze and Theory to start off NXT this Week. The Character work of Theory is starting to develop and he's only 22. I want to see him at 25 and I say that because he doesn't feel complete just yet. Breeze knows what he's doing with Theory and the sky's the limit for Theory who had the victory in hand till his arrogance came into play. A few years from now he doesn't make that mistake, but big positives from me with this one as Breeze gets the win. Killian Dain vs. Tehuti Miles lol Miles acting like he's someone then gets merked go figure. I'm not high on Dain either, rather just see him move up and be someone's muscle than take time away from other talent.

Grimes vs Nese. Talk about two guys with all the abilities given to them by whatever God they pray to, but damn they lack personalities to separate them and move them forward in their Careers I feel. Remember Nese as CW Champion? I forget because he really didn't elevate himself when it came to his Character and even with the skills his reign was short. Nese to me came off looking stronger than Grimes which is making me scratch my wondering why are we giving the win towards him? Oh well Grimes going no where fast continues on NXT when he would be better suited on 205 Live. Priest/Lee/Dijakovic's confrontation was expected to get nuts and I can't wait for that Match next Week. It wouldn't shock me to see Lee next Week probably to Priest.

Io returns and merks Aliyah you know guys I loved the hell of this. Imagine if this was with a Crowd, the pop would of BEEN HUGE! Still Io is in the Ladder Match and when DA COBRA Kai wins next Week all is well in the World. Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan vs. Brendan Vink and Shane Thorne skip..yup just skip. LaRae vs Carter was okay, but too obvious to now Candice was going over. We neee the greatest Neckbreaker off a Ladder please Candice! Riddle vs Strong was good, not as good as their past encounter, but still very entertaining to watch. Stokely showing up finally is a good thing, but having to manage those oafs is a Thumbs down for me.

The Closing Segment with Trips/Gargano/Cole was freaking great. I liked how Trips told both guys how HBK and himself got to this point and how it changed the both of them. I'm trying to remember the Segment they did after the Hell in the Cell Match between the two and the next night both guys were putting each other over. In two weeks it ends...THEN the kicker of this Segment KILLER MOTHERFUCKIN Kross is telling both guys Tick Tock mofos. I've been saying for two Years how good is Kross and how he could be the next Jake Roberts. He has the look, the talking abilities, and believability to become a Star. I wonder was that Scarlett speaking Russian or some kind of language in the background? Either way I'm psyched for Kross showing up all hail!
