TONIGHT ON NXT: EC3 goes one-on-one against Adam Cole of The Undisputed ERA!

EARLIER TODAY AT A PRESS CONFERENCE FOR NXT UK TAKEOVER: BLACKPOOL: Tensions rose to a fever pitch between NXT UK Women's Champion Nikki Cross and Toni Storm en route to their collision at NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool.

NEXT WEEK ON NXT UK: The WWE United Kingdom Champion Mark Andrews begrudgingly teams up with the WWE Cruiserweight Champion Drew Gulak and Gentleman Jack Gallagher to take on British Strong Style: “The Bruiserweight” Pete Dunne, Tyler Bate and Trent Seven in six-man tag team action!

LAST MONTH ON NXT: In a message to Johnny Gargano, the NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa suggested that his former friend battle for the NXT North American Championship at NXT TakeOver: Phoenix so that the pair can actualize their longtime goal of one day “taking over the world.”

IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA: Ciampa is encouraging Gargano, but he soon learns the downside of meddling in other people's affairs, after Aleister Black pops in to remind Ciampa of his own fate at NXT TakeOver: Phoenix, where they are set to face off for the NXT Championship. A promise by “The Dutch Destroyer” to make Ciampa “fade to black” during their bout eventually gets supplemented with a beatdown!
