Ricochet vs Dunne in a ‘Champion vs Champion’ match:
History will be made when NXT North American Champion Ricochet battles WWE United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne for NXT’s first-ever Champion vs. Champion Match. The seeds for this historic matchup were planted back at TakeOver: Brooklyn IV, when both Superstars engaged in a tense confrontation that concluded with The BruiserWeight laying his eyes on The One and Only’s North American Title. They would later share another testy staredown, this time in the aftermath of their tag team match against Undisputed ERA. With pride on the line, as well as respective championships, expect the competition between Ricochet and Dunne to explode inside Full Sail Live.
Who attacked Aleister Black?
NXT General Manager William Regal continues his growing investigation into who attacked Aleister Black. As reported, Black was mysteriously assaulted just days before TakeOver: Brooklyn IV, prompting widespread speculation on a possible suspect. In the weeks since, Regal has interviewed a slew of NXT Superstars, including The Forgotten Sons, Heavy Machinery, Nikki Cross, Lars Sullivan, Kairi Sane and Johnny Gargano, who was scheduled to face off with Black, along with Tommaso Ciampa, at TakeOver. Last week, Ciampa went on record and denied any involvement in the attack. As the investigation continues, this week should proffer more updates.
