# NXT Champion Karrion Kross and Scarlett to kick off WWE NXT

* Doomsday is here.
Despite sustaining a shoulder injury during his match against Keith Lee at NXT TakeOver: XXX, Karrion Kross powered through a grueling bout to win the NXT Championship.
After a medical evaluation Monday, Kross will kick off Wednesday night’s WWE NXT on USA Network. What do the new NXT Champion and Scarlett have in store for NXT, given his injury? One thing is certain, the time has come for the NXT Universe to fall and pray.
Tune in to see Kross and Scarlett on WWE NXT Wednesday at 8/7 C

# Tommaso Ciampa set to return to NXT this Wednesday

* The Blackheart is back!
For the first time in nearly three months, Tommaso Ciampa will return to NXT this Wednesday night.
The NXT Universe hasn’t seen Ciampa since he declined to comment in a WWE Network Exclusive following his loss to Karrion Kross at NXT TakeOver: In Your House.
The defeat against Kross undoubtedly represented a setback for Ciampa, who was visibly disappointed after coming up short against his destructive rival. But with a history of overcoming career-altering injuries, the former NXT Champion is more than familiar with bouncing back in the face of adversity.
Be sure to tune in to NXT at 8/7 C this Wednesday night to see what Ciampa’s next move will be!

# NXT Women’s Champion Io Shirai teams with Rhea Ripley against Dakota Kai & Raquel González

* Mutual enemies create strange bedfellows, as will be the case when NXT Women’s Champion Io Shirai teams with Rhea Ripley against Dakota Kai & Raquel González.
Shirai retained her title at NXT TakeOver: XXX with a hard-fought win over Kai, but she felt the wrath of González, her enforcer, afterward.
However, Ripley joined to scene to even the odds, standing toe-to-toe with González in a showdown of perhaps the two most powerful women in NXT. But The Nightmare couldn’t help but leave before also locking her eyes on Shirai and her former championship.
The Genius of the Sky is surely happy to finally have backup, but will she be able to co-exist with one of the top contenders for her NXT Women’s Title?

# Santos Escobar defends the NXT Cruiserweight Title against Isaiah “Swerve” Scott

* Isaiah “Swerve” Scott is still the only man in NXT with a victory over Santos Escobar. Will lightning strike twice when the NXT Cruiserweight Title on the line?
We’ll find out Tuesday night as they go one-on-one.
Escobar and Legado del Fantasma have largely enforced their will over the Cruiserweight division, using the numbers game to their advantage on NXT and 205 Live. “Swerve,” who hasn’t kept his desire for the NXT Cruiserweight Championship a secret, has complicated their lives, though, joining forces with Breezango in their recent rivalry with Escobar, Joaquin Wilde and Raul Mendoza.
“Swerve” proved once that he could beat Escobar during the NXT Cruiserweight Title Tournament. Now, can he do it again to capture his first championship in WWE?

# NXT Tag Team Champions Imperium vs. Breezango

* Just days after their Triple Threat Match victory at NXT TakeOver: XXX, Breezango will challenge Imperium for the NXT Tag Team Titles Wednesday night on WWE NXT.
Breezango became No. 1 contenders to the NXT Tag Team Championship on the NXT TakeOver: XXX Pre-Show, with a decisive victory over Oney Lorcan & Danny Burch and Legado del Fantasma, thanks to a Supermodel Kick by Prince Pretty to Lorcan.
Since bringing the age of Imperium to the United States and becoming champions, Barthel & Aichner have remained on top of the NXT tag team division. Marcel Barthel & Fabian Aichner have been victorious over Breezango in the past. Will the fashionable pairing of Prince Pretty & Fandango ride the momentum of their TakeOver: XXX victory and waltz their way to a title? Tune in to NXT Wednesday at 8/7 C.

# What’s next for new North American Champion Damian Priest?

* Damian Priest took one giant step toward living forever by becoming the new North American Champion at NXT TakeOver: XXX.
Priest overcame four other Superstars, including a pair of former champions, in a jaw-dropping Ladder Match to claim the North American Title.
Now that he’s just days removed from the biggest win of his promising career, what’s next for The Archer of Infamy?
