NXT set a massive card for May 11, with almost every champion competing against top rivals who could put an end to their title run.


Mercedes Martinez has been waiting for an opportunity for months, and she was granted that chance when she fought Raquel Gonzalez for the NXT Women's Championship.


Karrion Kross was not putting his title on the line, but after feeling disrespected by The Way, the NXT champion promised to hurt Austin Theory while Johnny Gargano watched from the sidelines.


Kushida ended one of the most dominant runs by an NXT cruiserweight champion when he beat Santos Escobar last month. The two finally fought again Tuesday, with the likelihood of both Raul Mendoza and Joaquin Wilde staying close to the former titleholder.


MSK are happy to take on any challengers to their title, and former champions Breezango stepped up this week.


After Pete Dunne got in his way last week, Kyle O'Reilly demanded a match against his rival's friend, Oney Lorcan.


This show was jam-packed to the point of rivaling a TakeOver card, and the clearest promise was two hours of great wrestling!
