Three matches added to WWE NXT

The card for tonight’s episode of NXT has a few new additions.

WWE announced this afternoon that Ember Moon vs. Dakota Kai, Dexter Lumis vs. Santos Escobar, and Bobby Fish vs. Tyler Rust will take place on NXT tonight. The episode will be headlined by Karrion Kross defending his NXT Championship against Johnny Gargano, with Samoa Joe serving as the special guest referee.

Moon defeated Kai by disqualification when they faced off on NXT’s go-home show for TakeOver: In Your House last month. The DQ was due to interference by Kai’s tag team partner Raquel Gonzalez. Gonzalez then retained her NXT Women’s Championship by defeating Moon at TakeOver: In Your House.

On NXT two weeks ago, Io Shirai & Zoey Stark defeated Gonzalez & Kai and Shotzi Blackheart & Moon in a triple threat tag team number one contender’s match. Shirai & Stark went on to win the NXT Women’s Tag Team titles from Candice LeRae & Indi Hartwell at NXT Great American Bash last week.

Lumis reunited with Hartwell when he carried her to the back after last week’s NXT Women’s Tag Team title match.

Rust is part of NXT’s Diamond Mine stable. In a video that WWE posted today, Fish answered an open challenge that was issued by Diamond Mine’s manager Malcolm Bivens. Fish thought the open challenge was for a match against his former Undisputed Era stablemate Roderick Strong, but Bivens said Fish would be facing Rust.

After Cameron Grimes unsuccessfully challenged for LA Knight’s Million Dollar Championship at the Great American Bash, WWE has announced that Grimes’ butler duties will begin tonight. Grimes having to be Knight’s butler was a stipulation of him losing last week’s Million Dollar title match.

Here’s the updated lineup for tonight’s NXT:

NXT Champion Karrion Kross defends against Johnny Gargano (Samoa Joe will be the special guest referee)
NXT Breakout Tournament first-round match: Ikemen Jiro vs. Duke Hudson
Sarray vs. Gigi Dolin
