It&#8217;s going to be hard for him to get considering Kross&#8217; rising star and dominance as of late.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Winner Enters NXT North American Championship Ladder Match &#8211; <\/strong><strong>KUSHIDA vs. Cameron Grimes vs. Mystery Opponent<\/strong><\/h3>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Will it be <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CGrimesWWE?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@CGrimesWWE<\/a>, @KUSHIDA_0904 or a yet to be named Superstar earning a trip to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NXTTakeOver?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#NXTTakeOver<\/a> XXX? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/FYrL9B5IlO\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/FYrL9B5IlO<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; WWE NXT (@WWENXT) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WWENXT\/status\/1293336395793170434?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">August 12, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>This match carries tons of intrigue as <strong>KUSHIDA<\/strong> makes his return to NXT after being M.I.A. since the Cruiserweight Championship tournament. <strong>Cameron Grimes<\/strong> was on a bit of a hot streak before being decimated by Keith Lee last week. And then there&#8217;s the mystery opponent, which could be a number of individuals who could enter as a surprise. Hopefully, KUSHIDA can begin his march to greatness, but the mystery opponent seems likely to win here against two top competitors. Perhaps the return of <strong>Tommaso Ciampa<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Candice LeRae &amp; Johnny Gargano Welcome Everyone Back To Their Home<\/strong><\/h3>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">It&#39;s sure to be an eventful Wednesday night with &quot;The Power Couple&quot; when <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JohnnyGargano?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@JohnnyGargano<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CandiceLeRae?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@CandiceLeRae<\/a> open their doors once again. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WWENXT?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#WWENXT<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/A0PM8LK0ac\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/A0PM8LK0ac<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; WWE NXT (@WWENXT) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WWENXT\/status\/1293344634052259840?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">August 12, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>This is back.
