WWE continues to load up the card for tonight’s episode of NXT.
After a confrontation between Kyle O’Reilly and Oney Lorcan, WWE announced that the two competitors will face off on Tuesday night. O’Reilly remains in the thick of the NXT Championship, and Lorcan is hoping to pick up some momentum as a singles competitior. (His tag team partner, Danny Burch remains sidelined with an injury.)

Matches previously announced for the card include NXT Champion Karrion Kross vs. Austin Theory, and an NXT Women’s Championship Match between Raquel Gonzalez and Mercedes Martinez. Plus, KUSHIDA will defend the NXT Cruiserweight Championship against Santos Escobar.
Killian Dain had been scheduled to face Alexander Wolfe. But in a WWE Network Exclusive, it was revealed Wolfe is not cleared to compete on Tuesday night. In the brief video, Wolfe explained that the doctor won’t let him compete, and he left the building. The medical official told Wolfe’s Imperium stablemates that he had complained about a stomach bug, so he won’t be cleared for at least seven days. Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel looked puzzled by this development.
