Lineup for WWE NXT (November 4, 2026) – Grayson Waller vs CM Punk, John Cena & Cody Rhodes to appear, Dusty Cup Finale & more

WWE NXT airs on Wednesday this week.

Due to the mid-term election coverage on the CW Network, WWE NXT will air on Wednesday instead of its usual slot on Tuesday night. This change means that the show will go head-to-head with AEW Dynamite, which airs as usual on Wednesday.

Notably, this week AEW is delivering the special Blood & Guts edition of Dynamite, and WWE has pulled out all the tricks for the counterprogramming, bringing in some of the biggest names for tonight’s show.

What’s in store for WWE NXT Tonight?

Tonight’s WWE NXT will emanate live from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. The show will feature major matches featuring the NXT men’s and women’s title.

NXT Champion Grayson Waller will defend the title against former multi-time WWE World Champion CM Punk, while NXT Women’s Champion Kelani Jordan will defend the title against a mystery opponent.

John Cena is set to appear on the special Wednesday edition of NXT following his appearance on Monday Night Raw, where he announced the date and venue for the John Cena Classic.

On the other hand, the 2026 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic will conclude with Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno facing Hank Walker and Tank Ledger. Cody Rhodes will be present to award the trophy to the winning team, adding significance to the tournament’s conclusion.

Another list of WWE stars to participate on NXT will include Chad Gable, Rey Fenix and Dragon Lee to face The Vanity Project in a six-man tag team match. Jackson Drake, Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes will represent the NXT faction.

Cruz Montana and Dion Lennox will settle their differences in an unsanctioned match. The contest was announced at Halloween Havoc and will feature UFC star Michael Chandler as the special guest referee.
