Big NXT Match Announcements: NXT Title, Steel Cage Match, Debut & More!
Karrion Kross, Finn Balor, and Johnny Gargano head NXT's latest set of match announcements.
Finn Balor will have an opportunity at regaining the NXT Championship on the black and gold brand's 25 May episode.
As confirmed during last night's NXT, Balor will challenge Karrion Kross on that night, having dropped the strap to the big man at TakeOver: Stand & Deliver last month. Balor accosted Kross after a victory over The Way's Austin Theory, with the NXT Champion claiming he wanted the rematch as much as Finn does.
That bout goes down just over two weeks before the upcoming TakeOver: In Your House special, so it'll be interesting to see who WWE lines up for Kross there, if not Balor.
Also confirmed for the 25 May episode of NXT is Franky Monet's debut match. The former Taya Valkyrie has made her presence felt on the show lately, getting into it with Io Shirai, Shotzi Blackheart, and more in a series of segments. Her opponent is yet to be determined.
Finally, Johnny Gargano will defend his NXT North American Championship against Bronson Reed inside a steel cage next week. The duo previously wrestled at Stand & Deliver, where Gargano defeated Reed on the second night. Zoey Stark vs. Toni Storm is also on next week's card.
