WWE presented NXT's go-home show for TakeOver: Portland last night and while the episode wasn't exactly crammed with game-changing ramifications for this Sunday's special, the bookers did put a bunch of fresh match-ups together for next week's fallout show.

The first and most notable is Velveteen Dream vs. Roderick Strong. This comes following Dream's awesome return last week, with Dream confronting The Undisputed Era clad in tights that read "call me up Marina" - a shout-out to Strong's wife. Roddy hit the ring to demand an apology from Velveteen last night and while Dream wasn't there live, he answered the call via the big screen.

We're also getting a Cruiserweight Title match pitting champion Jordan Devlin against Lio Rush. 'The Man of the Hour' earned that opportunity by besting Angel Garza via roll-up, earning Lio his first shot at the belt since dropping it to Garza on 11 December.

On top of this, Chelsea Green will get the opportunity to avenge her recent loss to Kayden Karter, with manager Robert Stone promising a full-on relaunch of his stable, Robert Stone Brand. Green was defeated by Karter just last week.
