Shawn Michaels made a big announcement during the June 13 episode of NXT, tweeting that NXT Gold Rush, a two week NXT TV Special, will take place on June 20 and 27.
On June 20, Seth Rollins will put the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the line, as he accepted Bron Breakker’s challenge.
Elsewhere on the show, Wes Lee will defend the NXT North American Championship against Tyler Bate, and Mustafa Ali will be the special referee.
Plus, the teams of Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen, Malik Blade and Edris Enofe, and Hank Walker and Tank Ledger will collide in a number one contender’s match.
Finally, Dana Brooke will clash with Cora Jade. Brooke cost Jade her match against Thea Hail on the June 13 episode of NXT.
On June 27, Tiffany Stratton will face Thea Hail for the NXT Women’s Championship. The Chase U student earned the opportunity to challenge Stratton by winning a number one contender’s Battle Royal on June 6. This week, however, Drew Gulak and Charlie Dempsey expressed their concern for Hail as they believe she still needs a lot more training.
Additionally, Carmelo Hayes will defend his NXT Title against Baron Corbin. The former Mr. Money in the Bank earned his spot in the match by defeating Ilja Dragunov in tonight’s main event. He was able to hit End of Days after Bron Breakker interferred and distracted Dragunov, likely as payback for trying to attack him earlier in the night.
Finally, Gallus (Wolfgang and Mark Coffey) will defend their Tag Titles against either Edris Enofe & Malik Blade, Brooks Jensen & Josh Briggs, or Hank Walker & Tank Ledger. As per Booker T’s announcement, those three teams will battle next week at Gold Rush night one for the opportunity to challenge Gallus.
#NXTGoldRush NEXT WEEK is going to be quite the night!
