NXT will present a taped show from Full Sail University tonight. The brand is building towards the upcoming Takeover event in 10 days from Chicago’s All-State Arena.

4 matches have been confirmed already for Takeover but more could be announced on tonight’s show.

NXT 6/6/18 Preview

  • Tommaso Ciampa Addresses His Street Fight with Johnny Gargano

At Takeover Chicago the epic rivalry between Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano will continue. They will meet in a street fight in Chicago in a match which might finally bring this long-running blood feud to an end. Tonight, Ciampa plans to address his match at Takeover: Chicago with the fans at Full Sail University.

  • Nikki Cross Segment

Last week, Nikki Cross saved Dakota Kai from a post-match beatdown by Shayna Baszler. Cross then challenged the champion to an impromptu match and won after Kai counted the 3-count. The match was unofficial, of course, and Cross did not actually win the championship.
The NXT Women’s Championship still doesn’t have an official match at Takeover: Chicago, perhaps Cross’ segment tonight could lead to such a match being confirmed.

  • Roderick Strong vs Danny Burch

Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch will challenge the Undisputed Era at Takeover: Chicago for the NXT tag-team championships. This week, Danny Burch will face Roderick Strong in one-on-one action. Burch scored the win for his team (with Lorcan and Pete Dunne) over the 3 healthy members of Undisputed Era (O’Reilly, Strong, and Cole) recently on NXT.

  • Kairi Sane vs Lacey Evans

Evans pulled off a huge upset the last time these two met in single’s action back in May. Sane had defeated Evans back in April, however. As the two are 1-and-1 with each other, this match here will be the rubber match. The winner likely moves into the title picture following Takeover: Chicago and the loser does not.

Matches Already Confirmed for Takeover: Chicago:

  • NXT Tag Team Championships
    Undisputed Era (c) vs Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch
  • NXT Championship
    Aleister Black (c) vs Lars Sullivan
  • Street Fight
    Johnny Gargano vs Tommaso Ciampa
