Hank Waller, Tank Ledger, and Josh Briggs vs. The Culling
WWE’s official preview:
A huge Six-Man Tag Team Match will pit Hank Walker, Tank Ledger and Josh Briggs against The Culling.
Since forming his new group, Shawn Spears has been determined to mold NXT in his image, and with a devoted Brooks Jensen, Niko Vance and Izzi Dame committed to his cause, it is becoming increasingly likely to happen.
Standing in their way are NXT Tag Team Champions Hank & Tank as well as Jensen’s old tag team partner, Briggs.
Can this makeshift team stop The Culling in their tracks?
Tony D’Angelo vs. Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo
WWE’s official preview:
The Don will take on The Underboss in one of the most personal grudge matches in NXT history.
Tony D’Angelo and Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo have been closer than brothers during their lives, and their relationship has only grown since they joined NXT. However, those days are in the past.
Stacks betrayed Tony D, Luca Crusifino and Adriana Rizzo at Stand & Deliver, allowing DarkState to beat The Don down and send their group into a spiral.
With Crusifino missing and Rizzo in hiding at D’Angelo’s request, The Don and The Underboss will go one-on-one at Battleground in hopes to settle their score once and for all.
Joe Hendry (c) vs. Trick Williams for the TNA World Championship
WWE’s official preview:
The TNA World Championship will be on the line at a WWE Premium Live Event for the first time ever as Joe Hendry will defend his title against former NXT Champion Trick Williams.
Williams and Hendry have locked horns multiple times in recent weeks, prompting NXT General Manager Ava to call TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella and make the match official.
In a clash of former friends turned enemies, will Hendry remain TNA World Champion, or will Williams make history and become the first WWE Superstar to win the TNA World Title?
Sol Ruca (c) vs. Kelani Jordan for the NXT Women’s North American Championship
WWE’s official preview:
The NXT Women’s North American Championship will be on the line when Sol Ruca defends her title against Kelani Jordan.
The inaugural Women’s North American Champion, Jordan is determined to win back the title after earning the opportunity by defeating Zaria on May 20.
Ruca won the title in a Ladder Match at Stand & Deliver, but she now faces her greatest challenge.
Oba Femi (c) vs. Myles Borne for the NXT Championship
WWE’s official preview:
The NXT Championship will be on the line in the ultimate David vs. Goliath matchup as Myles Borne challenges Oba Femi for NXT’s greatest prize.
Borne stunned the NXT Universe by winning a 25-Man Battle Royal to become the No. 1 Contender and earn his first NXT Championship opportunity.
The dominant Femi has shown no signs of slowing down and is coming off an impressive Triple Threat win at Stand & Deliver against Trick Williams and Je’Von Evans.
Can Borne pull off one of the biggest upsets in NXT history by dethroning The Ruler?
Stephanie Vaquer (c) vs. Jordynne Grace for the NXT Women’s Championship
WWE’s official preview:
Tampa will play host to a dream match as NXT Women’s Champion Stephanie Vaquer and Jordynne Grace will clash with the title on the line.
Vaquer has been on a tear, taking her talents to Monday Night Raw and representing NXT with pride everywhere she goes.
Grace is determined to win her first championship as a WWE Superstar and will stop at nothing to get it.
Will La Primera once again retain her title, or will the era of The Juggernaut be upon us?
