Isaiah “Swerve” Scott is set for action on next week’s episode of NXT.
WWE has announced that Scott will face Killian Dain on NXT next Tuesday. The match stems from an angle that took place prior to this week’s NXT episode.
Before this week’s NXT went on the air, WWE uploaded a video where Drake Maverick got into a confrontation with Hit Row. Dain stepped in and told Scott that if he has a problem with Maverick, he has a problem with Dain too. That angle also aired on this week’s NXT.
Scott’s Hit Row group formed on NXT last month. It also includes Top Dolla, Ashante “Thee” Adonis, and B-Fab. Top Dolla (AJ Francis) and B-Fab (Briana Brandy) made their NXT TV debuts as part of the group.
Hit Row cut a promo on NXT last week stating that it’s time for them to go after gold. They mentioned the NXT Championship, NXT North American Championship, NXT Tag Team titles, and NXT Cruiserweight Championship.
Next Tuesday’s NXT is the go-home show for TakeOver: In Your House. Here’s the updated lineup for the episode:
Ember Moon vs. Dakota Kai
Oney Lorcan vs. Austin Theory
Isaiah “Swerve” Scott vs. Killian Dain
Grammy-nominated pop-rock and nu-metal artist Poppy returns to NXT
