Cody Rhodes, Carmelo Hayes, and Bron Breakker — Cody Rhodes is a former Intercontinental Champion

Cody Rhodes made a blockbuster announcement on NXT involving Carmelo Hayes and Bron Breakker.

Tonight's episode of NXT was kicked off by Cody Rhodes, who was soon joined by NXT Champion Ilja Dragunov. It did not take long for Dominik Mysterio to interrupt them, which resulted in an NXT Championship match being set up for later in the night.

Dominik put on a tough fight, but Ilja Dragunov was able to retain his title. However, following the match, Baron Corbin came down to the ring to attack Dragunov, but he was beaten to the punch by Dijak, who informed Corbin that he was next in line to face Dragunov.

Following this incident, Cody met with Corbin to inform him that a Triple-Threat match would take place between Corbin, Dijak, and the winner of the Carmelo Hayes vs. Bron Breakker match, which was set to take place in the main event.

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker.
