NXT 10/3 Preview

EC3 vs Lars Sulivan

Two top-ranked wrestlers in the men’s single’s division clash tonight.

EC3 alleged that Lars Sullivan was the person responsible for the attack on Aleister Black, leading to Lars wanting revenge on the top 1-percenter tonight.

Tommaso Ciampa Addresses Velveteen Dream’s Allegations

Velveteen Dream made comments to William Regal that NXT Champion, Tommaso Ciampa, may have been responsible for the attack on Aleister Black. Otiz Dozovic and Candice LeRae have implied the same thing.

Tonight, Ciampa addresses the allegations tonight.

Johnny Gargano vs Tony Nese

Ciampa’s former tag-team partner, Johnny Gargano, will look to get back in the winner’s column tonight against 205 Live’s Tony Nese. Gargano hasn’t wrestled on NXT programming for over a month (in TV time).

Gargano has said he’s done with complaining and now just wants to get back to competing, which is what he’ll try and do tonight.

Candice LeRae vs Lacey Evans

A big match atop the NXT Women’s division this week as Candace LeRae takes on Lacey Evans.

Evans has been critical of LeRae for not acting like a “real lady” as of late. LeRae said she wants to separate her personal life from her professional one and not focus on her husband, Johnny Gargano’s, career. Evans seems to take offense to this and will bring her 1950s pin-up girl style into action tonight.

The Forgotten Sons in Trios Action

Jaxson Ryker, Wesley Blake, and Steve Cutler will be in trios action today. The Forgotten Sons will look to continue their NXT unbeaten streak since debuting on the brand in early September.

Their opponents have yet to be announced, which likely means they are enhancement talent.

205 Live 10/3 Preview

Akira Tozawa vs Gentleman Jack Gallagher

The stable of Drew Gulak, Brian Kendrick, and Jack Gallagher have been making life difficult for many as of late on 205 Live. Kendrick also returned to action last week and attempted to take out Tozawa.

Tozawa will have to worry about Gulak and Kendrick but he’ll have a chance to get revenge on Gallagher tonight.

TJP vs Kalisto

2 weeks ago, TJP ripped off Lince Dorado’s mask during a match. In Lucha rules, TJP would have been DQ’ed but in 205 Live the move helped him pick up the win.

Despite wrestling as a luchador himself for a period, TJP dishonored the tradition of masks in Mexican wrestling. The Lucha House Party will seek revenge for that tonight.
