The go-home show for NXT TakeOver 36 is going to be loaded with gold, as William Regal announced two of titles will be on the line on the 8/17 episode of WWE NXT.
Malcom Bivens was making his case before the NXT GM decided to make the major announcements for next week. First, MSK will put their NXT Tag Titles on the line against Imperium. PLus, NXT Cruiserweight Champion KUSHIDA will defend his belt against Roderick Strong.
The former bout was teased earlier in the show when MSK cut off the feed to an Imperium promo. The latter match has been teased in recent weeks, and it was particularly highlighted last Tuesday when Strong defeated his former Undisputed Era ally in the recently released Bobby Fish.
Next week’s show will also include a semi-final match in the NXT Breakout Tournament, as Duke Hudson will face Carmelo Hayes. Additionally, NXT Champion Karrion Kross will have a face-to-face confrontation with his opponent at TakeOver, Samoa Joe.
