It’s Tuesday night and that means a brand new episode of WWE NXT for May 24th, and Ringside News has you covered with live play-by-play results coverage. Start time for NXT is at 8:00 PM EST. Match-by-match highlights and results from the show will take place on this very page. Feel free to leave any reactions in the comment section below.

Tonight’s NXT will be headlined by a rather impromptu bout between Duke Hudson and Bron Breakker. Last week Breakker interrupted Duke’s interview, so Hudson confronted the NXT Champion after the show and and challenged him to a match tonight. Meanwhile Ikemen Jiro has had enough of Von Wagner attacking him and his friends, so he faces the big man tonight.

Indi Hartwell is setting out on her own – since all of her friends have quit or been released – and tonight she looks to test her mettle against the NXT Women’s Champion, Mandy Rose. And sticking with the ladies, Elektra Lopez faces Alba Fyre in a seemingly random match-up. And we’re set to see the semi-finals of the Women’s Breakout Tournament tonight.

And that’s the preview for tonight’s NXT. Our live coverage will begin from 8PM right here. Let us know if you’re excited about any of it and remember to hit the refresh link below and enjoy the show!

Hayes reiterates it and says Grimes doesn’t deserve the title, doesn’t carry it the way he did. He says Grimes is just a title holder. Grimes says he earned the title and all Hayes will ever be is a Champion. Grimes says a lot of people are saying Nathan Frazer is a better version of Hayes, and what better way to prepare for their match than by beating the better version.
