Plans don’t change as often on short notice as they used to under the creative leadership of Vince McMahon now that Triple H is in charge of booking in WWE and in NXT under the booking of Shawn Michaels. However, that has changed.
The show
WWE NXT returns live from the Performance Center tonight on the USA Network after last week’s taped episode with a loaded lineup.
The top things confirmed for the show are NXT Champion Ilja Dragunov & Carmelo Hayes face-to-face, Heritage Cup Champion Noam Dar defending a member of No Quarter Catch Crew (Drew Gulak, Damon Kemp, Charlie Dempsey, or Myles Borne), and Von Wagner vs. Lexis King.
Changes
Other things set for the show include Kiana James vs. Kelani Jordan, Dijak vs. Luca Crusifino, and Ridge Holland speaking.
A few days ago, WWE announced Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson vs. Edris Enofe & Malik Blade after the arrival of the main roster stars. As seen below, Enofe & Blade have been pulled and replaced by Andre Chase & Duke Hudson.
