NXT Preview 9/12

  • Nikki Cross vs Bianca Belair

Bianca Belair is undefeated in NXT but she will put that streak on the line tonight against Nikki Cross. As for Cross, she’s been looking to find herself on the NXT roster since dropping an NXT Women’s Championship match to Shayna Baszler earlier this summer.

  • Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch Reunite

Oney Lorcan found himself on the injured list for months with a broken orbital bone recently. He’ll be back tonight and reunited with his tag-team partner Danny Burch.

Their opponents are TBD and likely are local competitors.


  • Lars Sullivan vs Raul Mendoza

Lars Sullivan has been out of action since a broken jaw suffered at the hands of Aleister Black. He was also questioned by General Manager William Regal regarding his whereabouts when Black was attacked recently.

Sullivan said he wished he was the one who beat up Black but it was not him. He’s said since returning a couple of weeks ago that he is putting the entire NXT roster on notice.


  • Shayna Baszler In Single’s Action

Former NXT Women’s Champion, Shayna Baszler, will be in single’s action tonight. Her opponent has yet to be named and is likely just a local competitor.

Baszler has already said she plans on cashing in her rematch clause against Kairi Sane. We still don’t know when she plans to do that, however.


  • Tommaso Ciampa Speaks

NXT Champion, Tommaso Ciampa, will address the NXT Universe tonight. Ciampa has said he hasn’t appeared in front of the Full Sail crowd yet because he doesn’t have a title challenger.

He’ll likely have something planned for tonight but it’s possible a new challenger might as well.
