WWE has announced that a round-robin match between Duke Hudson and Akira Tozawa will take place on Friday’s show. 

The tournament kicked off on Tuesday’s episode of NXT. Joe Coffey defeated Nathan Frazier in a Group B match and Butch of the Brawling Brutes defeated Charlie Dempsey in the first Group A match.
