Update —

WWE has also confirmed that Johnny Gargano vs. Cameron Grimes is set for tonight’s NXT. The match had been teased after video of an angle where they got into a confrontation at an NXT house show in Riverside, California was posted over the weekend.

The match comes in advance of Gargano facing Finn Balor at NXT TakeOver: Portland on Sunday.

Another match has been confirmed for tonight’s NXT.

NXT Champion Adam Cole will face Kushida in a non-title match tonight. Cole sent out a tweet today to set the match up: “In a really bad mood…and I hear Kushida has a problem with what happened last week. Ok tough guy, how about tonight you try and do something about it? I bet you won’t. @WWENXT #nxtonusa”

While Undisputed Era were looking for Tommaso Ciampa last week, they attacked Kushida and Cole gave him a Death Valley Driver into a trash can.

Cole will defend his NXT Championship against Ciampa at TakeOver: Portland on Sunday.

Tonight’s NXT is the go-home show for TakeOver. Candice LeRae vs. Dakota Kai has been confirmed for tonight, along with a Cruiserweight title number one contender’s match between Lio Rush and Angel Garza.
