Speaking of the Undisputed Era, things aren’t looking so great for Cole’s stable right now. Tensions are running high between Cole and Roderick Strong while Bobby Fish and Kyle O’Reilly are caught in the crossfire. With Cole facing such an important match in just a few weeks, will he be able to get the Era back on the same page tonight? Tune in to find out!

On the subject of champions, the Viking Raiders are scheduled to make an appearance at Full Sail tonight to address their future in NXT. Rumors have been running rampant since the duo made their surprising debut on Monday Night Raw during the Superstar Shake-Up. Will the Raiders continue their reign in NXT until they drop the titles? Or will they be forced to forfeit the titles and leave NXT behind? Let’s hope we get some answers this week on the WWE Network.
Beyond that, here is the current lineup of what we can expect to see this Wednesday night on WWE NXT:
– Keith Lee returns to in-ring action against Cezar Bononi
– Kushida goes one-on-one with Kona Reeves
– Vanessa Borne w/ Aliyah will take on Jessie
With only a few weeks away from TakeOver XXV each episode of NXT is extremely important until the June 1 event. Will we get any other match announcements tonight? What match do you want to see at the upcoming TakeOver? Sound off in the comment section below.
