NXT is back tonight with the go-home show before Saturday’s Takeover event. 3 matches have been booked for tonight along with one segment meant to build anticipation for a key match on Saturday.
NXT 8/15 Preview
Roderick Strong vs Tyler Bate
The feud between the Undisputed Era and Moustache Mountain continues tonight as Roderick Strong takes on Tyler Bate.
Moustache Mountain and the Undisputed Era have each won the NXT tag-team titles from the other team once this summer. The rubber match between the two top teams in the division goes on Saturday but single’s action between Strong and Bate takes place tonight.
the Street Profits vs the Mighty
The Mighty defeated the Street Profits the last time the two teams met. The Street Profits caused a distraction last week which allowed Heavy Machinery to pick up the win over the Australian tag-team.
One of these two teams moves closer to the top of the tag division and one moves closer to the bottom. Which team is which will be decided tonight.
Kairi Sane vs Aliyah
Kairi Sane will have what is commonly referred to as a tune-up match tonight. Sane will take on NXT Women’s Champion, Shayna Baszler, Saturday at Takeover. Before then, however, she’ll take on Toronto’s Aliyah tonight.
These two met last September, with Sane coming out the victor.
Shayna Baszler will most likely be keeping an eye out on this match as she prepares to face Sane again.
Velveteen Dream Verbal Assault
EC3 threw the Velveteen Dream in a pool during a somewhat bizarre segment on last week’s show. This week, Velveteen Dream is said to have a verbal assault planned for his Takeover opponent.
