Saints has quite the task ahead of him, as Vanity Project continues to make the most of their given opportunities on NXT, but this could be the chance for Saints to show the lengths he is willing to go to. Page will definitely be watching this match closely, and this could have a direct implication on the Great American Bash.<\/p>\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/WWENXT\/status\/1940863139538784468<\/div>\n<p><strong>More From LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Header photo \u2013 WWE \u2013<\/span><\/em>\u00a0<em>Stay tuned to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/a>\u00a0for more on WWE NXT and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
