It's NXT time again, and here's what's on offer in a pretty loaded episode...
*TRIPLE THREAT NUMBER ONE CONTENDERS MATCH: Ember Moon vs. Liv Morgan vs. Peyton Royce *Mark Andrews vs. Pete Dunne *NON-TITLE MATCH: Bobby Roode vs. No Way Jose
The first match puts three of NXT's women's division against each other for the right to challenge Asuka next week for the NXT Women's Title. NXT GM William Regal has chosen Ember Moon, Liv Morgan and Peyton Royce, which no doubt will frustrate Billie Kay, who pinned Morgan in a tag team match last week. Moon is technically not undefeated, but she hasn't been pinned or made to submit yet, and no doubt Kay will try to help Royce... who comes out on top?
After last week's meeting between Tyler Bate and Trent Seven, two more WWE UK Championship Tournament stars collide on tonight's show, as the losing finalist, current PROGRESS and Fight Club: PRO Champion "The Bruiserweight" Pete Dunne, takes on former TNA star Mark Andrews, who Dunne came up in the business with. Dunne won their meeting in the tournament, so "Mandrews" will be looking for revenge. Also, Regal is fed up with Dunne's antics from the tournament weekend, and has told him that won't fly in NXT. Will PETER defy him?
Finally, NXT Champion Bobby Roode is in action against No Way Jose - with Shinsuke Nakamura recovering from his Takeover: San Antonio injury, Roode needs a new contender, and with a shock win tonight, Jose could become that. Will Jose get the biggest win of his career, or will a different challenger emerge?
All this and much more tonight from 8/7c on the WWE Network!

I'm hoping Bobby Roode leaves his belt behind, and PETER takes a big chunk out of the edge.

Feels like forever since I have watched an episode of NXT, Dunne vs Andrews is more than enough to bring me back

Tucker was the Northern Irish guy that Bate beat in the first round, in probably the best match of Night 1.
("Bate beat"... Try saying that a few times in a row)

One of the best decisions that I feel that the WWE has made recently was signing Pete Dunne to an NXT deal. I was sold on him the moment I saw him during the UK tournament and eventually ended up being the stand-out performer.

Dude was almost in the Cruiserweight Classic, losing a qualifying match in PROGRESS. His opponent and winner in that match... Jack Gallagher.

And also Finn's b*tch clone. Wolfgang had a dark match on these tapings so I'd say there is a good shot he gets used on TV in the future.

Marry me Peyton.
Also, how weird is it that Billie got the pin last week but isn't in the match tonight?

"Who will be the next #1 contender for Asuka's NXT title"

A young Fit Finlay is a very good way to describe Pete Dunne

Dunne is just a brutal, mean dude. Everything he does looks painful.

Seriously Mark Andrews has to be loving life. Away TNA, getting mainstream exposure, and putting on damn good matches against guys like Dunne.
