Santos Escober will defend his Cruiserweight Championship against longtime rival Isaiah “Swerve” Scott.

NXT Women’s Champion Io Shirai & Rhea Ripley will square off against Dakota Kai & Raquel González . After retaining her title against Kai, Raquel González attacked the champion while Rhea Ripley came down to make the save. That’s what laid the context for this week’s match-up.

The North American Champion Damien Priest will also make an appearance on the show.

As announced earlier, former WWE Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett (Stu Bennett) will join tomorrow’s NXT  commentary team. As of now, the NXT commentary gig is just a one-time deal.

Unlike RAW and SmackDown, WWE is filming NXT from the Full Sail campus. The event will stream live on the WWE Network.
