With surprise appearances from CM Punk and NBA star Tyrese Haliburton, as well as thrilling matches and unforgettable moments, the event set the stage for what promises to be an even more exciting show next week. As NXT prepares for its highly anticipated move to the CW network on October 1, the stakes have never been higher for the stars of the Black and Gold brand.
One of the key storylines heading into next week's episode revolves around the ongoing tensions between Chase U and Ridge Holland. Ever since Holland betrayed the faction, the rivalry has intensified, creating a bitter feud. After taking out Andre Chase and Duke Hudson in recent weeks, Holland now has his sights set on the last remaining member of the group, Riley Osborne. Osborne will have Thea Hail in his corner when he steps into the ring to face Holland, making this a must-watch showdown as the faction looks to get some revenge.
In the women's division, Wren Sinclair, a new member of the Quarter Catch Crew, is determined to make a name for herself. After growing frustrated with her lack of opportunities, Sinclair boldly slapped NXT Women's North American Champion Kelani Jordan, issuing a direct challenge for the title. The two competitors will collide in a high-stakes match next week with the championship on the line, a clash that promises to be one of the highlights of the night.
Additionally, Grayson Waller will make his presence felt when he returns to NXT to host a special edition of 'The Grayson Waller Effect.' His guests will be NXT tag team champions Nathan Frazer and Axiom, as they prepare to defend their titles against Waller and his partner, Austin Theory, on October 8. The episode will also feature a press conference to build anticipation for NXT’s upcoming move to the CW network, signaling a bright future ahead for the brand.
