WWE NXT Live Results – December 11th, 2019

Welcome to Ringside News’ coverage of WWE NXT. Please keep refreshing throughout the show for constant updates once it kicks off at 8:00 PM EST

Next week is gearing up to be a big week, as both the NXT Championship and the NXT Women’s Championship will be on the line. However, before we can get to that, we have a few things to take care of this week.

After being surprised by Mia Yim last week, Dakota Kai will have to face the woman that she attacked two weeks ago tonight, as Mia Yim looks to finally get retribution when she and Kai go one-on-one.

Also tonight, after over a month of trading blows, Lio Rush and Angel Garza look to settle things as Garza will once again challenge Lio Rush for Rush’s NXT Cruiserweight Championship. Will The Man of the Hour emerge victorious once again, or will Garza clip Lio’s wings and emerge as the new Cruiserweight Champion?

Finally, before we head into next week’s NXT Championship match, a #1 Contender must be crowned, and tonight will feature a triple threat match to determine that contender as Tomasso Ciampa, Finn Balor, and Keith Lee square off in a triple threat match. The winner will go on to challenge Adam Cole for the NXT Championship next week. Balor, Ciampa, and Lee have all been vying for a match with Cole and chasing after the title, but one of these three men will get the opportunity to dethrone the Panama City Playboy, but who will it be? Find out tonight.

All of this action and more as we head into one of the final episodes of NXT, and we will begin coverage here when NXT goes live at 8:00 PM EST!
