Considering the events on RAW and SmackDown Live, this is an intriguing contest
Before we get down to this week's show, let's get next week's show out of the way. We found out that Ruby Riott would take on Sonya Deville next week in a No Holds Barred Match, continuing their rivalry from even before NXT Takeover: WarGames.

This is quite an interesting development in light of what has happened on the main roster. Deville is part of a trio on RAW called Absolution, whereas Ruby Riott (who now has an extra T in her name) leads a trio of her own on SmackDown Live, known as the Riott Squad.
We wonder if this aspect will be addressed when the two women square off on NXT next week. We still don't know if there's a link between the five women who were called up on two different brands, as heels.

Another thing to look out for is the 'Championship Celebration' segment consisting of Zelina Vega and the brand new NXT Champion, Andrade 'Cien' Almas too.
