NXT will air a taped show from Full Sail University tonight.

The featured segment for the episode is advertised to be a face-to-face showdown between NXT Champion, Aleister Black, and Johnny Gargano. Adam Cole will also look to defend his newly won North American Championship tonight as well.

Matches and Segments for Tonight’s NXT

  • Johnny Gargano and Aleister Black Face-to-Face Segment
    • Last week, Gargano said now that his rivalry with Tommaso Ciampa has been settled, he is free to once again pursue the NXT Championship.
    • Aleister Black accepted Gargano’s challenge for a title match last week. Gargano will be Black’s first challenger since winning the title at Takeover: New Orleans.
  • North American Championship 
    Adam Cole (c) vs Oney Lorgan

    • Adam Cole won the North American Championship in an epic ladder match at Takeover: New Orleans. Now, his first title defence will be against the gritty European, Oney Lorcan.
    • It’s possible we see a bit of a North America vs Europe thing start to play out regarding the two continental themed titles in NXT.
  • Undisputed Era Segment
    • In addition to Adam Cole defending his North American title tonight, the other members of the Undisputed Era are expected to make an appearance.
    • Roderick Strong recently became the newest member of the group. Strong turned on his partner, Pete Dunne, during the Dusty Rhodes Classic, allowing the Undisputed Era to retain the titles (using the Freebird rule to cover for Bobby Fish’s injury).
    • Now that they are a 4-person unit, Undisputed Era’s rise to the top of NXT might be unstoppable. Future storylines involving this faction should move forward tonight.
  • Heavy Machinery vs Riddick Moss and Tino Sabbatelli
    • These two teams have met 3x so far in 2018. Each team has won once and the 3rd match went to a no-contest.
    • The NXT tag division has been thrown for a loop a bit recently. The departure of the Authors of Pain was followed by the debut of the War Raiders.
    • If either of these two teams want to stay in the mix of the NXT tag division, they will have to win tonight.
