Find out what happened on Wednesday’s episode of WWE NXT.
Previously on WWE NXT, we crowned a new NXT Champion! Uh, kinda – we watched a short video package of highlights from the house show where Samoa Joe defeated Finn Balor to win the championship.
Elsewhere, The Revival sought to establish themselves as the team to beat in NXT. First, Dash and Dawson absolutely demolished their opponents, and later they attacked Zack Ryder and Mojo Rawley following the Hype Bros emerging victorious over Blake and Murphy.
Where does that leave us for this week? One can only assume that Samoa Joe will have some words following his championship victory. What will the Samoan Submission Machine have to say about the former champ, Finn Balor? Will someone step up and challenge the new champion?
We also know that The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived, Austin Aries, will be in action. Will someone prove that they are on the same level as the veteran grappler?
And the NXT Tag Team division is seeing things heat up, with The Revival out for revenge – and to regain the NXT Tag Team Championships. What will be their next move – and will the Hype Bros get some payback for the vicious assault they suffered last week??
