NXT Championship #1 Contenders Match
TNA World Champion Trick Williams is looking to follow in Jacy Jayne’s footsteps and be a double champ. To get to Oba Femi and his NXT Championship, Williams takes on the ever-exciting Je’Von Evans in a number one contender’s match on Tuesday.
This will not be the first time that Williams and Evans meet in the ring but, with the stakes this high, this could be very interesting. There is no doubt that Femi will be watching this match closely, but DarkState could also be lurking nearby.
After successfully defending his @ThisIsTNA World Championship at #TNAEmergence, can @_trickwilliams move one step closer to the NXT Championship when he takes on @WWEJeVonEvans in a No. 1 Contenders Match THIS TUESDAY on #WWENXT in Philadelphia?

Philadelphia Street Fight
Things between Yoshiki Inamura and Josh Briggs have gotten bad really quickly. With the August 19 edition of NXT taking place in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, it’s only right that we have a Philadelphia Street Fight on deck.
Inamura and Briggs will push each other to the limits with this match-up, as they hope to put an end to this feud. Instead, things could take a rather violent turn between them as they have all of these weapons at their disposal.
.@noah_yoshiki and Josh Briggs will look to solve their issues with one another when they square off in a STREET FIGHT this Tuesday when #WWENXT heads to Philadelphia!
