Our brand-new YouTube episode, previewing this show, Raw, and even more backstage buzz, is below. Thanks so much for all the support! #AutismAwareness
NXT North American Championship Match: Myles Borne (c) vs. Kam Hendrix
The Breakdown: Borne put his gold on the line to secure a future tag title opportunity alongside Tavion Heights, but he's stepping into the ring against a dangerous, hungry newcomer in Kam Hendrix, who has been waiting for an opening to grab his first piece of NXT gold.
My Pick: Myles Borne defeats Kam Hendrix… During the match Mason Rook screwed Kam Hendrix.
Shiloh Hill vs. Tristan Angels
The Breakdown: This fiery feud just won't quit. After colliding at The Great American Bash and dealing with weeks of ongoing trash talk and pageantry, Angels is right back in Hill’s face looking to prove that his previous loss was a fluke.
My Pick: Shiloh Hill defeats Tristan Angels with the help of Danhausen.
Lizzy Rain vs. Izzi Dame (with Niko Vance)
The Breakdown: Spurred by Lizzy Rain crashing ringside to neutralize Dame's constant interference in recent matches, this has turned into a deeply personal first-time-ever singles collision.
My Pick: Lizzy Rain defeats Izzi Dame with the help of Shawn Spears
OTM (Bronco Nima & Lucien Price) vs. BirthRight (Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo & Uriah Connors) (with Lexis King, Charlie Dempsey, and Arianna Grace)
The Breakdown: A massive tag team showcase loaded with outside elements and heavy stables colliding right in the heart of the Performance Center. Expect absolute anarchy with this many managers and allies at ringside.
My Picks: OTM defeats Birthright.
Hot Take / Unadvertised Prediction
The Santana Sensation Arrives: Sure, it's not officially on the match graphic yet, but after Mike Santana's explosive debut last week, you know he's coming for blood.
Expect the lights to drop or a disruption when Tony D'Angelo steps into the PC. Santana didn't come to NXT to shake hands—he came to take over, and the "Don of NXT" is public enemy number one.
Pick: Mike Santana talks to Tony D'Angelo only for Arianna Grace to attacks Tony and Santana.
NXT Overtime Prediction
Backstage: Robert Stone is ambushed in the NXT parking lot, left reeling from the surprise attack, and then Nattie and Karmen Petrovic rush over to check on him and make sure he’s okay.
