                    NXT Preview

                    WWE has 3 advertised matches for tonight’s show.

                    Ryan’s Take

                    • It’s nice to see Swerve and Ruff get a featured match on this show. I assume both will be motivated to use the freedom of a Falls Count Anywhere match to really show what they can do.
                    • The GYV and Ciampa/Thatcher storyline has my interest. It could be a terrific match, but I wonder if Imperium still has eyes for Thatcher.
                    • Balor, Cole, O’Reilly, Kross. I’m wondering what’s next for each of these guys.

                    Quick Preview

                    • Ember Moon and Shotzi Blackheart v. Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell – Street Fight for Tag Team Championships
                    • Isaiah Swerve Scott v. Leon Ruff – Falls Count Anywhere
                    • Finn Balor Returns
                    • Grizzled Young Veterans v. Tommaso Ciampa and Timothy Thatcher
