WWE has announced two matches for next week’s episode of NXT television.
Next Wednesday’s post-TakeOver: Phoenix episode will feature a tag match with Kairi Sane & Io Shirai facing Four Horsewomen members Jessamyn Duke & Marina Shafir. The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins & Montez Ford) will also face The Forgotten Sons (Wesley Blake & Steve Cutler with Jaxson Ryker) on the show.
Those matches are expected to be taped before NXT TakeOver: Phoenix at the Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix, Arizona this Saturday.
Sane & Shirai defeated an enhancement team (Amber Nova & Tanea Brooks) on this week’s NXT TV. An interview with Sane & Shirai aired after that, with Duke & Shafir interrupting them to set up their match.
The Forgotten Sons attacked The Street Profits in an angle that aired on last week’s episode of NXT TV. The Street Profits had defeated The Metro Brothers before being laid out by The Forgotten Sons.

– The Revival defeated The Forgotten Sons (Wesley Blake & Steve Cutler)
With WWE’s European tour going on, Scott Dawson & Dash Wilder appeared again and got the win with the Shatter Machine. It was a fun match that the crowd was into.
– EC3 defeated Fabian Aichner
Aichner cut a pro-Philadelphia Eagles promo to get heat in Dallas. It was a decent match, with EC3 picking up the win with the One Percenter.
Cross won it for her team in a decent match. Cross was very over and there was a lot of comedy where she tried to get Sane fired up. Gonzalez looked pretty green/sloppy.
– Oney Lorcan and Kona Reeves were in the ring for a match when Lars Sullivan came out. Reeves left and went through the crowd. Lorcan took a Freak Accident from Sullivan before Reeves came back for a match with Lorcan, who was barely standing up.
– Oney Lorcan defeated Kona Reeves
Lorcan pinned him with an inside cradle. Reeves cut a promo on Lorcan, then Sullivan came back and gave Reeves three Freak Accidents.
– NXT Tag Team Champions Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong defeated The Street Profits to retain their titles
Good match. The crowd was split for it and they did some comedy along with the in-ring work.
O’Reilly and Strong were beating down Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins after the match until The Revival came out for the save. The champions bailed when that happened.
– Chad Lail defeated Kassius Ohno
This was really weird. The crowd got really behind Lail, chanting “Let’s go Chad” throughout the match. Ohno started working heel and I wouldn’t be shocked if the finish was changed. Lail won with a roll-up.
– NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler defeated Dakota Kai to retain her title
They had an okay match, but the crowd chanted “We want Chad” throughout much of it. Kai got a lot of offense and Baszler’s selling didn’t connect.
– Ricochet defeated Velveteen Dream
They had a great match to close what was a very fun show, doing lots of back-and-forth offense and great sequences.. The crowd was hot throughout and Ricochet hit the Bendadryller for the finish. Dream has a great presence. At one point, he went to “Too Sweet” a fan and then flipped him off.
