Bron Breakker’s first NXT Title defense has been announced for NXT Vengeance Day.
WWE announced today that Breakker will defend against Santos Escobar. The storyline is that Escobar is objecting to Breakker becoming champion so soon into his career and that he does not like that Breakker has been given so many opportunities so soon.
Breakker has been offering for weeks to face Escobar in the ring but Escobar has been delaying the match until today’s announcement.
Breakker and Santos will meet this Tuesday night for a “Championship Summit” segment to hype the match. The match will happen on Tuesday, February 15th. The show will move to SyFy that week because of USA Network’s Winter Olympics coverage.
Here is the updated card for Vengeance Day:
NXT Championship
Bron Brekker (Champion) vs. Santos Escobar
Steel Cage Match
Pete Dunne vs. Tony D’Angelo
NXT North American Championship
Carmelo Hayes (Champion) vs. Cameron Grimes
NXT Women’s Tag Team Championship
Toxic Attraction (Champions) vs. Indi Hartwell and Persia Pirotta
