As noted, William Regal announced a 5-Man Gauntlet Eliminator Match for next Wednesday’s NXT to crown a new #1 contender for the NXT Championship.
The winner will face Finn Balor at the upcoming Takeover event on Sunday, October 4.
Already announced for Wednesday’s match are KUSHIDA and Cameron Grimes. Kyle O’Reilly has been announced as the third entrant earlier today.
The 5-Man Gauntlet Eliminator will see two Superstars start the match, and a new competitor will enter every four minutes. The only way to be eliminated is by pinfall or submission.
O’Reilly has since commented about being included in the match.
“This is a pretty big deal for me, I know I’m unproven in the singles department — I get that — but I’ve gotta make the most of this opportunity,” O’Reilly said. “I know I’ll have the support of the Undisputed boys. I’m gonna represent my team and make them proud.”
