WWE NXT returns to Full Sail University this week. Find out what happened as the new era kicked off with an NXT Tag Team Championship match.

Previously on WWE NXT, the tour of the eastern hemisphere continued. After airing a live event from Osaka, Japan, last week’s episode was filmed in Melbourne, Australia. The show featured the final battle between Shinsuke Nakamura and Samoa Joe, a steel cage match for the NXT Championship.

In other action from Down Under, DIY defended the NXT Tag Team Championships against TM61. Despite being the native conquering heroes, Shane Thorne and Nick Miller fell short in their quest to win gold in NXT.

This week, the show returns home to Full Sail University. As announced several weeks ago, Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa will defend the NXT Tag Titles for the third consecutive episode. This week, their opponents in a heavily-hyped match are former champions The Revival. Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder are looking to become the first three-time champions in NXT history. Notably, the winners of this match already have their first title defense scheduled – against the Authors of Pain at TakeOver: San Antonio.

With the Nakamura vs. Joe saga over (for now, at least), it’s the beginning of a new era on Wednesday nights. Bobby Roode is the top challenger for Nakamura and the NXT Championship. How will the two superstars interact?
