WWE NXT Preview for Tonight: Cole Confrontation with McAfee, Lee/Kross, Qualifying Matches for Takeover, More

Tonight’s edition of WWE NXT is the last episode before this Saturday’s NXT Takeover XXX event on WWE Network. It’s also a rare Wednesday night where NXT won’t face opposition from AEW Dynamite because Dynamite is pre-empted due to the NBA Playoffs on TNT. Dynamite will air on Saturday night instead.

Here’s what WWE has advertised for NXT based from WWE.com today.

* How will NXT Champion Keith Lee respond to Karrion Kross and last week’s fireball attack?

* Adam Cole and Pat McAfee to meet face-to-face ahead of TakeOver XXX showdown

You want me back in that #WWENXT arena next Wednesday @AdamColePro?

I’d love to.. The last time I was there, you ended up lifeless on the ground w/ @ShawnMichaels worried about your soulless, dumb, stupid body.

Can’t wait to dominate you and the whole wrestling community..AGAIN pic.twitter.com/JctoAABLrA

* Finn Bálor faces Velveteen Dream with a TakeOver XXX spot on the line

* Johnny Gargano clashes with Ridge Holland for a North American Title opportunity

* “Swerve” joins forces with Breezango to battle Legado del Fantasma

I will have a review up on TJRWrestling on Thursday morning.
