NXT Championship Ladder Match Field Officially Set Tonight
The field for next week’s NXT Championship ladder match was set tonight on the show after all six participants of the match were confirmed following tonight’s qualifying matches.
Ricky Saints became the first person to qualify for the match next week, before he was joined by Shiloh Hill and Sean Legacy last week, who confirmed their spots following their wins over Josh Briggs and Eli Knight.
They were then joined by Jackson Drake, who was given the bye after Joe Hendry was taken out earlier in the night, and Dion Lennox, who defeated Myles Borne to qualify for the match.

Carver decimated his opponent with ease as he slammed him onto the announce table before hitting his finisher inside the ring. He was then joined by the rest of the participants of next week’s match.
