WWE NXT continues its march towards New Orleans this week with a jam packed episode featuring the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic and a UK title showdown between Adam Cole and Pete Dunne
With eyes focused on WrestleMania, NXT continued to build towards its own blockbuster show on this week’s episode, and NXT Takeover: New Orleans is quietly becoming the must-watch show this WrestleMania weekend. After last week’s first-round match between The Authors of Pain and TM61, the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic featured two matches this week, with Sanity taking on Tino Sabatelli and Riddick Moss, and The Street Profits taking on Heavy Machinery.
Elsewhere on the card, Pete Dunne and Adam Cole met one on one with Dunne’s UK title on the line, while in the main event segment Aleister Black and Andrade ‘Cien’ Almas were scheduled to sign on the dotted line for their NXT title showdown in New Orleans. Needless to say, not everything worked out as planned there. Also, Shayna Baszler and Ember Moon came to face to face in the ring as Dakota Kai squared off with Lacey Evans.
There’s a lot to get through this week, so let’s take a look back at all of the action from last night’s NXT.
