It's the go-home show to NXT Takeover: In Your House, so what final plans are in store? As ever, forum discussion rules are on the WWE section of the board.
Last week, NXT General Manager William Regal booked Adam Cole vs. Velveteen Dream for the NXT Championship on Sunday at Takeover: In Your House, and agreed with Cole that if Dream loses, he gets no further shots at the title for as long as Cole is champion. However, Regal said the match would take place in a setting that "shines a spotlight on both their talents" - will we find out from Regal tonight what he means by this?
Back in April, Drake Maverick was one of several WWE superstars who was released by the company as part of COVID-19 related cutbacks, but was allowed to stay on to complete the Interim NXT Cruiserweight Championship Tournament he was already booked in. After tonight, a released wrestler could be holding a WWE title... albeit an interim version of one. Maverick takes on El Hijo del Fantasma to determine the interim champion, as Jordan Devlin is still unable to defend the main title. Will Maverick pull off the big shock and keep himself around as a champion, or will Fantasma put an end to Drake's WWE career tonight?
When Candice LeRae joined her husband Johnny Gargano in his evil ways to try and take over NXT, she ended up losing most of her friends, among them Mia Yim. Last week, Yim and her partner Keith Lee made fun of the Garganos' dinner promos, and while Lee will defend the North American Championship against Gargano on Sunday, it's Mia vs. Candice tonight. Candice may want to keep focused tonight, as Shotzi Blackheart and Tegan Nox will also be wanting some payback...
Last week, Chelsea Green got to the biggest stage of her career, as she was the chosen partner of NXT Women's Champion Charlotte Flair, getting the win over Flair's Takeover challengers Io Shirai and Rhea Ripley. And how did Green respond to all this? Following the show last week, Green ended up FIRING her agent Robert Stone. Will Green explain why she's suddenly decided to cut ties with the man who got her where she is?
All this, the final steps towards Takeover... and will we get an NXT Tag Team Title match... tonight from 8/7c on USA in the States and BT Sport in the UK and Ireland!
