WWE NXT is live tonight, and once again, Raw‘s “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio will be on the show, this time to defend his North American Championship against Dragon Lee – with Dom’s dad, legend Rey Mysterio, in Dragon’s corner! Let’s take a look at everything announced for tonight’s episode of NXT:
WWE NXT card: August 8, 2023
Mustafa Ali vs. Axiom
WWE’s official preview:
Mustafa Ali and Axiom will face off with an opportunity at the NXT North American Championship firmly on the minds of both Superstars.
Ali has been frustrated since Wes Lee lost the title and cost him a one-on-one match for it, and Axiom is on a mission to prove himself after falling prey to SCRYPTS’ faux friendship.
Which Superstar will show that they’re ready for a title match?
Bron Breakker vs. Von Wagner
WWE’s official preview:
Former NXT Champion Bron Breakker has shown no fear of Von Wagner in recent weeks, going as far as Spearing the towering Superstar and even calling him a “nobody.”
Not taking the disrespect lightly, Wagner will challenge Breakker in a one-on-one match with his trusty manager Mr. Stone by his side.
Will Breakker continue his rampage, or will Wagner overcome his biggest test?
Tyler Bate vs. Noam Dar (Heritage Cup Rules)
WWE’s official preview:
Despite Nathan Frazer being the true NXT Heritage Cup Champion, Noam Dar and his Meta-Four companions treat The Scottish Supernova as if he was the cup holder, which has caught the eye of Tyler Bate.
The Big Strong Boi wants an opportunity at Dar’s cup and will challenge for it under Heritage Cup Rules, much to the chagrin of The Meta-Four.
“Dirty” Dominik Mysterio (c) vs. Dragon Lee for the North American Championship
WWE’s official preview:
WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio will be in Dragon Lee’s corner when he challenges “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio for the NXT North American Championship.
Lee first encountered “Dirty” Dom and WWE Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley at the Great American Bash where they disrespected his lucha libre roots, drawing the ire of Lee and Mysterio’s father.
Will “Dirty” Dom escape another title defense, or will Lee dethrone the Judgment Day Superstar?
