# Finn Bálor detours on the search for his attacker to face Cameron Grimes

* Still determined to find his assailant, Finn Bálor will return to in-ring action this Wednesday night on NXT against Cameron Grimes.
Whomever took out The Prince before his scheduled bout with The Velveteen Dream last month has still yet to reveal themselves, and Bálor is set on finding the snake “hiding in the long grass” that is the NXT locker room.
Grimes, meanwhile, says he deserves better than what he’s received thus far on the black-and-gold brand, and beating the former NXT Champion would go a long way toward making that point. The Technical Savage got the worst of their exchange last week, though, suffering a standing Coup de Grace and Slingblade before escaping for cover.
Can Bálor concentrate on his match with the identity of his attacker still looming over his head, or will Grimes exploit the The Prince’s focus for the biggest win of his career?

# What will Rhea Ripley have to say tonight?

* After Rhea Ripley made a stunning return to NXT a week ago, we will hear from The Nightmare tonight. What exactly will she have to say?
Ripley, who just made her first appearance since WrestleMania, clearly hasn’t forgotten about losing the NXT Women’s Championship to Charlotte Flair at The Showcase of The Immortals. The Nightmare interrupted The Queen’s post-match assault on Io Shirai, overwhelming Charlotte before she could escape.
Already livid with Charlotte getting herself disqualified and effectively taking away her title opportunity, Shirai wasn’t too thrilled with Ripley’s return, either, and they were pulled apart by officials after a shouting match turned physical.
You can be sure that The Queen and The Evil Genius of The Sky will be watching closely tonight to see what Ripley has to say.

# Matt Riddle & Timothy Thatcher to defend the NXT Tag Team Titles against Imperium

* Matt Riddle caught lightning in a bottle when he called on Timothy Thatcher to step in for Pete Dunne as his partner. Can Riddle & Thatcher do it again when they defend the NXT Tag Team Titles against Imperium tonight?
Despite their contrasting personalities, Riddle & Thatcher have meshed in the ring, as evidenced by their triumph over The Undisputed ERA’s Roderick Strong & Bobby Fish last month.
Imperium weren’t impressed. Marcel Barthel & Fabian Aichner interrupted the first edition of The Newly-Bros Show and left Riddle & Thatcher lying. Last week, Barthel & Aichner declared that they were sick of Riddle and Thatcher “besmirching” the NXT Tag Team Championship and issued their challenge.
Be sure to tune in to NXT tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network to see if Riddle & Thatcher can once again claim victory or if new champions will be crowned!

# William Regal promises a major announcement tonight

* NXT General Manager William Regal has promised a major announcement tonight on NXT – what could it be?
Mr. Regal said on WWE’s The Bump this morning that we would hear major news on tonight’s show. Tune in tonight at 8/7 C
