The title “tides” of March could turn on next week’s WWE NXT 2.0 as the North American Championship will be on the line on the March 1 episode.
Carmelo Hayes will defend his title against former NXT UK Champion Pete Dunne. Dunne and Hayes confronted one another on the February 22 episode; the challenger pointed out that “‘Melo” has never defeated him, while the self-proclaimed “A-Champion” agreed to give Dunne a shot at the gold.
Also announced for next week is a singles bout between Gunther and Solo Sikoa. The latter saved Malcolm Bivens from a very likely beatdown from the former NXT UK Champion. Sikoa left Gunter lying in the ring and set the stage for a clash between the two fighters.
