Robert Stone certainly has his hands full since becoming the general manager of WWE NXT. With the newer talent coming up and wanting gold, there has been more mayhem than Stone can control. Just last week there was a brawl backstage between Jasper Troy and DarkState that Stone could not stop. And to convince Mason Rook not to interfere in Tony D’Angelo’s title match, he was rewarded with a number-one contendership match next week.
Next week we will find out who will be the next number one contender for both the NXT Men’s and Women’s Championships. We will also witness a pageant next week on NXT, where fans will help vote and decide who Mr. NXT is. Read more here and check in for updates.
Who Will Be Mr. NXT?
We will be graced by the presence of both Shiloh Hill and Tristan Angels as they battle in a Mr. NXT pageant that will have three special guest judges, along with the fans’ vote. This will truly be unlike anything we have ever seen in NXT.
The men will compete in multiple categories to determine who is Mr. NXT. These categories include attire, talent, and public speaking. It will be very interesting to see as both men couldn’t be more opposite of each other. Even though we have seen Tristan Angels over the past few weeks on NXT, this will help the audience understand Angel’s personality more. The fans already know Shiloh Hill is a silly and carefree guy, which is why he is a fan favorite going into this pageant. But who is Tristan Angels?
As I previously said, Shiloh Hill seems to be the fan favorite going into this, but who are the three special guest judges? Will they prevent Hill from winning? Will Mr. NXT end physically between Angels and Hill? It is rare that these segments end with no fists being thrown, but NXT is full of surprises.
Who do you want to win Mr. NXT?

Who Walks Out Number One Contender?
After next week we will know who the number one contenders will be for both the NXT Men’s and Women’s Championship. The winners of these number one contender matches will challenge the champions at NXT Great American Bash on June 28.
Kelani Jordan and Wren Sinclair will meet next week. The winner of the match can look forward to a title opportunity against the champion, Lola Vice. Both Jordan and Sinclair have been very successful in NXT lately and are growing to become on top of the division, but are they ready for that responsibility? Lola Vice has been proving that she is a fighting champion and doesn’t look to drop that title anytime soon.
Mason Rook will be challenging Naraku next week to determine who will face Tony D’Angelo for the NXT Championship at Great American Bash. Both men are new faces to NXT, so it is very impressive that one of them will get an opportunity for the championship so early on in their time with the company. Who do you think will be able to take advantage of this opportunity? Do you think either of them will be able to defeat Tony D’Angelo?

- Women’s North American Championship: Tatum Paxley (c) vs. Zaria
- Number One Contendership for NXT Women’s Championship: Kelani Jordan vs. Wren Sinclair
