During this week’s episode of NXT, William Regal announced that the next episode would feature a Gauntlet Eliminator match to determine the next No. 1 Contender for the NXT Championship. Now, we know the third entrant for the match, and it’s none other than The Undisputed Era’s Kyle O’Reilly.
Earlier this week, it was announced that both Kushida and Cameron Grimes would be joining the match, but now we also know that O’Reilly is going to make his way.
Announced during tonight’s episode, NXT’s General Manager William Regal revealed that due to how much talent NXT has, a special Gauntlet Eliminator Match will take place to determine the next No. 1 Contender to the NXT Championship. The match will see two men start in the ring, with a new competitor entering every four minutes. The only way to be eliminated in the match is via pinfall or submission, and the last man standing will earn a title shot against Finn Balor at NXT TakeOver in October.
