First Match For Tonight's NXT Revealed

NXT is coming out of the gates hot tonight.

The brand has a stacked show for their USA broadcast from Full Sail University that features three title matches. So something has to get the show started, right? Well, on WWE's new digital show The Bump, Cathy Kelley announced that Matt Riddle and Adam Cole will be kicking off tonight's NXT. The two will do battle as Riddle attempts to capture Cole's NXT Championship.

This will be the first edition of NXT that goes head-to-head with All Elite Wrestling's Dynamite on TNT. An NXT Women's Title match with Shayna Baszler defending against Candice LeRae is set for the event, as well as NXT Tag Team Champions Undisputed Era defending their crown against the former champions in Street Profits.
