The May 6th episode of WWE NXT is set to be an action-packed show. With several matches and segments lined up, the night promises tons of excitement as NXT continues to build momentum toward its next event, Battleground. Tonight’s episode of NXT has a ton of action in store for fans. With the likes of Joe Hendry, Giulia and more on the show, it’s definitely something fans shouldn’t miss. WWE NXT will air live from the Capitol Wrestling Center in Orlando, Florida, starting at 8 PM ET
TNA World Champion Joe Hendry appeared on the April 29 episode of NXT and was attacked by DarkState. This led to WWE booking a match that will see Joe Hendry and Hank & Tank face off against Darkstate on NXT this week, so we’ll have to see who will come out on top. WWE has booked a 25-man battle royal in order to determine the #1 contender for Oba Femi’s NXT Championship. Some of the names in the match include Trick Williams, Je’Von Evans, so it remains to be seen who will end up winning the bout and challenge Femi at Battleground this month. Jordynne Grace will duke it out against Giulia in order to determine the #1 contender for Stephanie Vaquer’s NXT Women’s Championship. Considering the history both of them have with Vaquer, fans are definitely in for a treat. Finally, Kelani Jordan will be squaring off against Zaria in one-on-one action and whoever wins will definitely build some momentum heading into the Battleground Premium Live Event.
There are two number one contender matches for championships. One is a 25-man battle royal to determine the number one contender for the NXT Championship, and the other is a singles match to provide an NXT Women’s Championship number one contender. The 25-man battle royal will feature names such as Trick Williams, Je’Von Evans, Brad Baylor, and more. The winner will face Oba Femi at Battleground. The Superstar to challenge Stephanie Vaquer at Battleground will be determined in a singles match between Jordynne Grace and Giulia. The latter is the former champion, so she knows how to get to the title. Grace, on the other hand, has proven her mettle worldwide, and she will certainly be hoping to attain her first WWE gold.
