#3 Lio Rush vs Angel Garza for NXT Cruiserweight Championship

That's definitely not what the Champion had in mind

After defeating Tony Nese last week, Angel Garza won the opportunity to challenge Lio Rush for the NXT Cruiserweight Championship. Right after the match, we saw Rush walking out to congratulate his next challenger.

He offered to shake hands with Garza but the latter ended up slapping the current Champion. This accounted for an interesting build-up for their upcoming fight in which Garza will look to beat Rush and get his hands on the title.

However, if we know anything about the ‘Man of the Hour’, he doesn’t respond kindly to the insults. Both Garza and Rush are high-flying Superstars with matching pace. It will be interesting to see how each of them improvises their offense to conquer their opponent.

It’s highly unlikely that Rush will drop his title tonight. However, even if Garza fails to win, their match can lay down the path for a grueling rivalry.
