Dominik Mysterio will be the special guest referee as Dragon Lee and Mustafa Ali will battle to become the number 1 contender for his NXT North American Championship. Lee pinned Dominik last week in a tag team match and is in line to get a title shot. However, Mustafa Ali intervened his interview this week to tell him that he failed to beat Dominik once before, so he should make way for Ali for the next title shot.
Dominik and Rhea Ripley posted a promo on Instagram saying that Ali and Lee should fight for the title shot while Dominik himself will be the special guest referee.
Additionally, Global Heritage Invitational Tournament will continue, but the matches are not announced yet. Tyler Bate has also called out Dabba Kato. Bate vs Kato match was announced for this week, but was nixed without any explanation.
Angel Garza and Humberto will also return to NXT next week. They ripped the Los Lotharios shirt during this week’s NXT after dreaming of their trainer and grandfather, the legendary Humberto Garza, and will return with a renewed focus.
