#3 Lio Rush defends his NXT Cruiserweight Championship against Akira Tozawa
Akira Tozawa has been impressive in his recent run on RAW during which he took on the likes of Andrade and Buddy Murphy. On Sunday, he represented the Red brand in the triple-threat match saw Lio Rush pick a win and bag the first point for Survivor Series during the kick-off show.
Tonight, Rush is set to defend his NXT Cruiserweight Championship against Tozawa, but he has another rival who has his eyes set on the title.
In the last few weeks, we saw Angel Garza toying with the ‘Man of the Hour’ and even mocked his family to play mind games with the Champion. It is quite possible for the high-flying Mexican star to interfere in Rush’s match in order to bring his attention towards their feud.
Rush is expected to retain his title but it will be interesting to see him manage two threats consecutively. Hopefully, his altercation with Garza will result in an extended feud for the Cruiserweight title.
