It seems like WWE NXT has already announced the main event for this Wednesday’s show on social media. Kyle O’Reilly will take on Pete Dunne to determine who will face Finn Balor for the NXT Championship at New Year’s Evil.

O’Reilly has already given Balor one of the best matches of his NXT career at TakeOver 31. Dunne, on the other hand, is looking to face The Prince for the first time and to win the NXT Championship.

Both men had a face-off with Balor last week, and while Damian Priest was involved in the mix too, he was taken out by Karrion Kross. Kross could possibly interfere during the #1 contender's match this week, but WWE could hold off that angle for later.

Instead, McAfee could return during this week’s show and attack O’Reilly to help The Bruiserweight win the match. A man in a mask had helped Dunne defeat O’Reilly in a ladder match before WarGames, and we could watch something similar happen this week.

This will help WWE build a new rivalry between O’Reilly and McAfee while giving Dunne a chance to win another title for The Kings of NXT.
