The Performance Center will once again host tonight’s WWE NXT!
WWE NXT airs tonight from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, on The CW in the United States and on Netflix internationally. Last week’s edition was packed with action and storyline developments, setting up a compelling follow-up card for tonight.
After defeating Sol Ruca in a Last Woman Standing Match, Zaria will appear on tonight’s show. After initially seeming to reconcile with Ruca, Zaria shoved her off the raised podium through a table at ringside to get the win.
Her appearance on WWE NXT is highly anticipated as fans wonder what her next move will be now that the feud with Sol Ruca has seemingly been put to rest.
WWE NXT Women’s Champion, Lola Vice and Mr. Iguana will team up to take on Izzi Dame and Niko Vance of The Culling as part of May 5 episode of WWE NXT.
Vice has been feuding with Dame in recent weeks, a rivalry that will likely culminate in a title match sometime down the line.
After the two had an altercation last week, Vice came to the ring to call out Dame. The Culling appeared in the ring, but Vice found help from her AAA tag team partner, who quickly helped her clear the house. The match has been made official for tonight.
A match between Kali Armstrong and Jaida Parker has also been set up by a backstage segment. Meanwhile, Vanity Project was talking about their success in the tag team division while Jackson Drake boasted about his new relationship with Myka Lockwood.
After they agreed Drake should make an impact, he was confronted by Jasper Troy, who challenged him to a match for this week.
