Kushida competed against the debuting Trey Baxter on WWE NXT last week. Baxter was great during his first match but could not overcome the NXT Cruiserweight Champion.

After the match, Kyle O’Reilly entered the ring to challenge Kushida to a match on next week’s show. Unsurprisingly, Kushida accepted. WWE has confirmed that O’Reilly vs. Kushida will be a non-title bout.

The two WWE Superstars will likely tear down the house on NXT this Tuesday. The brand will likely allow them to main event the show. WWE must allow Adam Cole to interfere during the match and knock KOR out. He must then escape before Samoa Joe can come down to the ring to put him to sleep again.

The angle will help NXT in many ways. Neither Kushida nor O’Reilly can afford a loss at this point. Therefore, a disqualification or no-contest finish will protect both superstars.

It will also allow WWE to further build towards the match between Cole and KOR for the Great American Bash. Finally, it could add to the enmity between Cole and Joe.

Love to see? Alright I’ll remember that FOX. I dare him to touch me again… https://t.co/5gd45QnL7v

The Samoan Submission Machine returned to NXT last week as the new enforcer on the brand, and he put Cole to sleep minutes after settling into his new role. Creating more chaos on NXT could lead to Joe returning to the ring to knock The Panama City Playboy out.
