The time has arrived; another episode of NXT<\/strong> is about to hit our screens.\u00a0 Additionally, the card for this particular episode is stacked<\/em>.\u00a0 Three big matches have been announced for Wednesday’s show and with AEW Dynamite<\/strong> going live, these matches will be essential in the ongoing “Wednesday Night Wars<\/em>“.\u00a0 Without further ado, let’s get started on this preview.<\/p>\n

Karrion Kross & Scarlett Bourdeaux Debut<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"NXT\"<\/p>\n

Karrion Kross<\/strong> and Scarlett Bordeaux<\/strong> will make their eagerly-anticipated debuts this week.\u00a0 They are a relatively high-profile signing for NXT.\u00a0 As late as just last year, Bordeaux was one of the hottest acts on Impact.\u00a0 Kross, meanwhile, has been one of the bigger prospects in recent years.\u00a0 A man who possesses size, agility and a solid arsenal of moves, he will do well in NXT.\u00a0 That’s not overlooking the talent of Bordeaux, of course, who has all the makings of being a big star for WWE<\/strong> in the years to come.\u00a0 The real-life couple will<\/em> be a hit on NXT.\u00a0 Expect an easy win for them this Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Johnny Gargano vs Donovan Dijakovic<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What is perhaps the most under-looked match this week might just prove to be the best.\u00a0 Dominik Dijakovic<\/strong> comes face-to-face with Johnny Gargano<\/strong> this week.\u00a0 These two have only wrestled each other at house shows previously, so this is going to be a TV first for both men.\u00a0 Interestingly, Gargano won that house show match – way back in April, 2018.\u00a0 Will this match have a similar outcome? Both men are in excellent form, with Gargano finally getting his big win over long-time nemesis, Tommaso Ciampa<\/strong>.\u00a0 With a meaner character no longer concerned with entertaining the fans, Gargano might just have the determination to score another big win.\u00a0 Dijakovic, of course, won’t make it easy.<\/p>\n

NXT Women’s Championship: Charlotte Flair (c) vs Io Shirai<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"NXT\"<\/p>\n

In what should be the main event, Charlotte<\/strong> defends her NXT Women’s Championship against Io Shirai<\/strong>.\u00a0 A certain “first-time ever” match, this has the potential to be one of the all-time great women’s bouts.\u00a0 Charlotte is one of the most naturally gifted performers in history, male or female.\u00a0 Shirai is widely-considered to be the “best in the world” in women’s wrestling.\u00a0 Pitting these two foes against one-another should surely result in an absolute spectacle of a match.\u00a0 With Charlotte only recently capturing the title and a potential Rhea Ripley<\/strong> return looming near, it is perhaps easy to call a Charlotte victory.\u00a0 However, regardless of the winner, this match is going to be excellent.\u00a0 Don’t miss this one.<\/p>\n

NXT Championship: Adam Cole (c) vs Velveteen Dream<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In what is currently the billed main event of the evening, Adam Cole<\/strong> defends his NXT Championship against The Velveteen Dream<\/strong>.\u00a0 Just a few short weeks ago, the Dream named Adam Cole as the “greatest NXT Champion in history”.\u00a0 This, of course, angered Finn Balor<\/strong> – with the Prince recognizing his own reign as the greatest.\u00a0 Prior to Dream’s scheduled match against Balor, Balor was taken out of action – with the match being cancelled.\u00a0 With certain events going on outside the ring, there is a possibility Dream is similarly taken out of this match.\u00a0 If so, what happens? Who faces Cole instead, if anybody? Perhaps a Balor return occurs.\u00a0 This is, of course, speculation.\u00a0 If this match goes ahead, expect an excellent showing from both Cole and Dream.\u00a0 What do you think: will this match go ahead? We’ll find out this Wednesday, 6th May on USA Network.<\/p>\n
