WWE EMPLOYS NEW NXT STRATEGY, TITLE UNIFICATION BOUT SET FOR NXT NEW YEAR'S EVIL & MORE NXT NOTES

By Mike Johnson on 2021-12-22 09:37:00

For the second week in a row, a Raw talent will appear on WWE NXT 2.0 this Tuesday.  Last night, AJ Styles appeared while Riddle will appear live with MSK.  This was a strategy that those within WWE would be employed once NXT shifted to Tuesdays, trying to cascade the Raw audience over to the NXT brand.  We will see if it works in execution soon enough.

Announced for next Tuesday's edition of NXT 2.0:

*Contract Signing: Roderick Strong vs. Carmelo Hayes.

*WWE NXT Women's Tag Team Champions Toxic Attraction vs. Raquel Gonzalez & Cora Jade

*Riddle and MSK to confront Imperium.

*Harland vs. Brian Kendrick.

*Grayson Waller vs. Dexter Lumis

The updated lineup for the 1/4/22 WWE NXT New Year's Evil broadcast on the USA Network features:

*WWE NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa vs. Bron Breaker II.

*WWE NXT Women's Champion Mandy Rose vs. Raquel Gonzalez vs. Cora Jade - Triple Threat Match.

*WWE NXT North American Champion Carmelo Hayes vs. WWE NXT Cruiserweight Champion Roderick Strong: Title vs. Title Unification match.
