We are on the road to NXT Takeover: Dallas and this week's episode emanates, once again, from the CFE Arena in Orlando as we're told we'll be finding out who the number one contender to the NXT Championship will be as Samoa Joe battles Sami Zayn. After both of them cranked the submissions on and tapped out Baron Corbin a few weeks ago, both men had a case for being the next in line for a shot at Finn Balor. Meanwhile, the show will open with an eight man tag match featuring Enzo & Cass, American Alpha, Blake & Murphy and Dash and Dawson, showcasing the NXT tag team division and no doubt sending the crowd into a nerdy frenzy at all these excellent teams being in one match at the same time. Over in the women's division, Asuka continues to look strong as she battles up-and-comer Deonna Purrazzo, while Eva Marie and Nia Jax continue their dynamic as a team that want to take out Bayley and get the NXT Women's Championship into the possession of their little gang. Finally, Alex Riley is back in the hunt on NXT as he battles 'The Perfect Ten' Tye Dillinger to see if he can move up the ranks and maybe one day get back to the main roster, where he used to be just a few short years ago. With all the pieces in place, let's delve into the world of NXT and look at the Ups and Downs from last nights show.
