NXT tonight will feature matches taped on Saturday from the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans. Only two matches have been officially confirmed thus far.


  • Kairi Sane vs Lacey Evans
    With the departures of Ember Moon, Peyton Royce, and Billie Kay, the NXT Women’s division is wide open.
    Either of these two could bump themselves up into title contention.
    Sane is 1-1 against current champion, Shayna Baszler, having defeated her in the Mae Young Classic finals but losing to her on NXT television.
  • Heavy Machinery vs Tino Sabbatelli and Riddock Moss
    The NXT tag-team division is also wide open at the moment with the departures of the Authors of Pain, who had been perennial top contenders.
    Whoever wins could graduate from low-level tag-team to championship contenders.
  • Who Will Step up with Recent NXT Departures?
    No Way Jose, the Authors of Pain, the Iconic Duo, and Ember Moon are all gone. Who is going to step up to take their place in NXT? Perhaps we will find out more tonight.
