Singles match announced for Wednesday’s WWE NXT

A new match has been confirmed for Wednesday’s WWE NXT.

On Tuesday, the company announced that Johnny Gargano will face off against Dexter Lumis in non-title action. Lumis has been feuding with the current NXT North American Champion on television as of late.

WWE did an angle at NXT TakeOver: Vengeance where Lumis kidnapped Austin Theory, who is part of The Way with Gargano, Indie Heartwell, and Candice LeRae. Lumis gave Theory back to Gargano on last week’s episode.
