On Ricochet and The Velveteen Dream teaming up to take on Lars Sullivan:
Ricochet and The Velveteen Dream were met by a major surprise when Lars Sullivan charged the ring and attacked both Superstars. After his ambush, Sullivan claimed that the next NXT Title challenger would not be Velveteen Dream or Ricochet, but himself.
With both Superstars looking to score payback against Sullivan, Ricochet and The Velveteen Dream stormed NXT General Manager William Regal’s office in search of answers. The result was unexpected, as Ricochet and Dream will now team together to take on the goliath in a Handicap Match tonight on WWE NXT. However, with all three of these Superstars clearly setting their broader goal on challenging NXT Champion Aleister Black, will Ricochet and The Dream be able to work together long enough to put Sullivan out of the title picture? Or will the monstrous Rocky Mountain juggernaut prevail against two of the black-and-yellow brand’s fastest-rising Superstars?
Find out tonight when WWE NXT streams on the award-winning WWE Network at 8/7 C.
On what’s next between Johnny Gargano, Candice LeRae and Tommaso Ciampa:
Following Tommaso Ciampa taking a verbal victory lap to celebrate the destruction he has inflicted upon on Johnny Gargano the past several weeks, Johnny Wrestling’s wife, Candice LeRae, confronted the soulless Blackheart on WWE NXT last week. An emotional LeRae questioned what Ciampa had become and then definitively told him that, no matter what he did to Johnny, Tommaso would never be better than her husband. Ever defiant, Ciampa continued to insult Candice and Johnny, before LeRae finally had enough, hauling off and smacking Tommaso.
With the tension rising, what will happen next between The Blackheart and the Gargano family? What’s more, with the status of his career still in question, will the NXT Universe finally get an update on the beloved Johnny Wrestling?
