NXT is live from Full Sail, three days before they go to war with NXT UK at Worlds Collide in Houston. As usual, please read the rules regarding discussion of live shows on this board.
*Keith Lee looks to make the first dent into the Undisputed ERA's prophecy when he challenges Roderick Strong for the NXT North American Championship in tonight's main event
*The 2020 edition of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic has reached the semi final stage - Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel of Imperium take on The Broserweights of Matt Riddle and Pete Dunne, while the Undisputed ERA's Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly take on the Grizzled Young Veterans of James Drake and Zack Gibson
*Will WALTER finally claim revenge from the Undisputed ERA's sneak attack on Imperium at Takeover: Blackpool?
*Bianca Belair gained the NXT Women's Title shot at Takeover: Portland, but will the champion Rhea Ripley get past her bogey opponent Toni Storm first?
*Finn Bálor had his say on Ilja Dragunov last week, but will Mr. UNBESIEGBAR respond tonight?
*Will #DIY stay a cohesive unit ahead of their dream match with Moustache Mountain on Saturday?
*Dakota Kai screwed Tegan Nox out of last week's battle royal, will Nox get payback? And will Shotzi Blackheart live to regret eliminating former two time champion Shayna Baszler from the match?
All this and more tonight from 8/7c on USA in the States and BT Sport in the UK and Ireland!
EDIT: Just added to the show, as confirmed by Shawn Michaels on The Bump... the rematch of the 2018 Mae Young Classic Final, Toni Storm vs. Io Shirai!

Given she nearly got sick from eating seafood AGAIN at the hands of Jimmy Havoc, I'd say it's likely she's on tonight's show. |

Just announced on The Bump... STORM V SHIRAI in WAIFU WARS. Always thought if they ran that match back that Io would get her win back, but Toni has the title match on Saturday so I'd think she'd need to win this one as well. |

Always thought if they ran that match back that Io would get her win back, but Toni has the title match on Saturday so I'd think she'd need to win this one as well. Depends. No one believes Toni is winning on Saturday no matter what happens tonight. And Io is their most over woman by a wide margin. Toni has also failed to impress in any matches since Evolution. All of her stuff has been lackluster or downright awful. I feel like the best option tonight is to either have Toni lose outright to further her character arc of being a bitter delusional loser (that they started on NXT UK), or have it result in a No Contest. Having Io lose tonight could do a lot more damage to the division than good, especially to someone who is just going to vanish again after WC. Especially since Io is probably their biggest star women's wise in NXT right now, if you want to look at ratings. |

If she loses this week clean following her losing the battle royale last week
I can only believe either she is on her way out of the company or she is being primed for the main roster and maybe might win the womens royal rumble
The result is gonna be very telling.

I'm thinking a no contest. Rhea and Bianca both probably come down to ringside, leading to a brawl.
Neither loses, Toni gets pissed at Rhea adding more heat to their match, more fuel is added to Rhea vs Bianca, and Io is driven even more to take down both Bianca and Rhea.

How is it that only in WWE can matches be booked all the damn time that nobody can afford to lose?

Yeah, this is one of those rare times where I'm hoping for a no contest. Maybe Rhea and Bianca interfere and it turns into a tag match with Toni and Bianca vs. Rhea and Io? |

But then that match has to be a no contest too so we’ll need ANOTHER run in. |

But then that match has to be a no contest too so we’ll need ANOTHER run in. I'm not really a fan of them doing Toni vs. Io tonight. It should be a good match, but if they plan on having Toni going over there are a bunch of other women she could face instead. Mia, Candice, Shotzi, Tegan (Dakota could cost her the match again)... the list goes on. |

Or she took a clean L which would be her first since like September |

Or she took a clean L which would be her first since like September I don't mean to be all "Wednesday Night Wars bleh" but there is an argument to be made about having a big loss happening on TV going towards a match where she builds herself up and beats Rhea for the NXT Women's Championship at WrestleMania, eventually getting revenge on Storm for the loss? Like, it'd be something unexpected that could get people intrigued? I don't know, just a dumb scenario I was thinking of. |
