WWE’s full preview can be found HERE; we have included excerpts below:
Dominik Dijakovic takes on Karrion Kross
Karrion Kross clearly has his sights set on new NXT Champion and North American Champion Keith Lee, but count Dominik Dijakovic among those who think not even Kross can stop Lee.
That perspective led to a heated exchange last week, which will spill into the ring this week.
The end will come swiftly. #TickTock https://t.co/dIZS6tBP13

After Dijakovic suffered a hard-fought loss to Lee and shared his belief that Kross could not defeat Lee, Kross confronted Dijakovic in the backstage area and launched him over a barricade. The Rare Breed was momentarily unresponsive after suffering undisclosed injuries.
That was only a taste of the doom Kross is capable of inflicting, though Dijakovic represents one of his toughest challenges since his arrival in NXT. However, it’s a test Kross certainly must conquer if he’s to get the title opportunity against Lee that he appears to covet.
William Regal to make huge announcement
NXT General Manager William Regal is set to make a huge announcement tonight on NXT.
Serving as the General Manager or #WWENXT has been an incredible honor. To see the men and women of this brand over the last couple of months has been inspiring and invigorating.
Tonight’s major announcement will be yet another step forward for @WWENXT.

What will Regal have to say? And what effects will his announcement have on the NXT Universe?
Dexter Lumis goes one-on-one with Killian Dain
Dexter Lumis and Killian Dain are set to go one-on-one, and it all started with a spilt coffee.
Love him or loathe him, the NXT Universe can thank Robert Stone for setting into motion the events that led to this matchup. During his failed recruitment of Shotzi Blackheart, Stone unknowingly tossed his coffee directly into Dain, whose incensed response led to Stone being run over by Blackheart’s tank.
Thanks to @RobertStoneWWE's ☕ , @DexterLumis and @KillianDain collide THIS WEDNESDAY NIGHT on #WWENXT! https://t.co/iFcYPAwiLd

Stone ran into Dain again last week, though this time, a drawing of that incident by Lumis drew Dain’s ire, and he demanded Stone get him a match against Lumis.
Now that Stone delivered, what will happen when two of NXT’s most intense competitors square off?
