NXT Changes Revealed Following COVID-19 Outbreak

A number of changes to tonight’s episode of WWE NXT on the USA Network have been revealed following another outbreak of COVID-19.

It was reported earlier this week that it’s believed the outbreak likely started on Thursday, and plans for tonight’s TV had to change.

Going by what WWE is currently promoting for NXT on its website, we know two of the matches that have been pulled that were announced last week.

Those matches are Leon Ruff vs Isaiah Scott, and Timothy Thatcher & Tommaso Ciampa vs Fabian Aichner & Marcel Barthel.

It has not actually been confirmed that the outbreak is the reason for these matches being pulled.

WWE is currently promoting:

• Austin Theory vs Dexter Lumis
• LA Knight’s in-ring debut
• Dakota Kai vs Zoey Stark
• Breezango vs Joaquin Wilde & Raul Mendoza
• Original NXT Cruiserweight Champion Jordan Devlin to appear

We’ll have live coverage of the show here at WrestleTalk.com from 8pm ET/Midnight GMT, along with coverage of AEW Dynamite on TNT at the same time.
