NXT has a TakeOver event coming up in a month (June 13’s TakeOver: In Your House), but they aren’t holding back from delivering big matches on television in the way there.
The North American title rematch between Johnny Gargano & Bronson Reed was announced at the top of the May 11 episode, but after Gargano & Austin Theory jumped the Colossal One in his locker room, Reed got General Manager William Regal to make it a steel cage match.
May 18’s NXT will also feature a TakeOver: Stand & Deliver rematch, with Toni Storm looking to avenge her pre-show loss to Zoey Stark.
.@JohnnyGargano's bad news just got even worse.

The following week brings another Stand & Deliver rematch. Karrion Kross’s first NXT title defense will be against the man he took the belt from. Finn Bálor looks to get his win back, and become NXT champion for the third time in the process.
The wait is almost over. ⏳
