This week’s episode of WWE NXT featured a contract signing for the upcoming championship match between Bobby Roode and Shinsuke Nakamura.

Previously on WWE NXT, the tag team division was the star of the show. DIY, the reigning NXT Tag Team Champions, defeated The Revival in an early contender for Match of the Year. The celebration was short-lived, as DIY were attacked by their opponents at TakeOver: San Antonio – the Authors of Pain.

The championship picture in the Women’s Division also became a little clearer. Before the episode started, Billie Kay and Peyton Royce ambushed Asuka in the parking lot. However, the champion wouldn’t stay down for long, as she came down to attack Kay and Royce moments later. The numbers game proved too much, but Nikki Cross came down to even the odds – and then immediately attack Asuka herself. Now, Asuka wants a match against “all of them.”

Oh, and Bobby Roode is a world class jerk, as Shinsuke Nakamura found out.

This week, Roode and Nakamura will meet face to face in the ring. It won’t be a match, but they’ll sign the contract for their championship match at TakeOver: San Antonio. Cliche or not, contract signings in professional wrestling are always interesting.

With TakeOver just about a week and a half away, lots of things could happen tonight to help shape the card. Besides the three title matches, the show is very much up in the air. What is in store for the Lone Star State?
