A championship match advertised for tonight’s (August 17) episode of WWE NXT will no longer be taking place, NXT General Manager William Regal.
NXT Cruiserweight Champion Kushida was scheduled to defend his championship against Roderick Strong of the Diamond Mine on the show.
Regal took to his Twitter account to break the news that Kushida has not been cleared to compete on tonight’s show, and so the previously advertised Cruiserweight Title match will no longer be taking place.
Instead, Roderick Strong will issue a ‘Diamond Mine Open Challenge’ to open the show.
Unfortunately after a medical examination, officials learned @KUSHIDA_0904 is not cleared to compete tonight. When I informed @Malcolmvelli and @roderickstrong, they expressed Roderick’s desire to compete.
Therefore, #WWENXT will begin with a #DiamondMine open challenge.
