WWE NXT: Results, Highlights and Grades For November 20th, 2019

WWE NXT is sure to be a blockbuster event tonight. With the black and gold brand invading RAW and Smackdown over the last 3 weeks, Triple H upped the ante on Monday night. He issued an open door policy for any superstar to walk into the arena and get ready for a fight when they do.

On top of the challenge issued by the boss of NXT, the build for this Saturday’s NXT Takeover event and Sunday’s WWE Survivor Series card the following night continues. The NXT champion Adam Cole has an important match-up, going toe to toe with Dominik Dijakovic to determine which team has the advantage in their main event War Games match at Takeover on Saturday.

To add icing on the cake, The NXT Tag Team Champions from the Undisputed ERA will square off against former two time champs and current Smackdown brand team, The Revival. This is considered to be a dream match that has never been seen before. What will happen when 2 of the best tag teams on the Planet square off in a head to head affair?

This is going to be the most anticipated NXT show on USA since they debuted 2 months ago on cable television.

As Rhea tries to toss Lynch to the outside, Becky hits her with a boot to the head. Ripley climbs the top rope and connects with a forearm. Becky rebounds and hits her with a forearm of her own.

Grade: B+

That was a fun back and forth affair between 2 of the best on the women’s roster. Very disappointing to see the match end in a no contest but it was a fun bout none the less .

They cut to the back and The Revival step out of a limo as they prepare for battle with Kyle O Reilly and Bobby Fish later on.
