Candice LeRae vs. Dakota Kai announced for NXT

Ahead of her street fight against Tegan Nox at TakeOver: Portland, Dakota Kai will be in action on tonight’s go-home episode of NXT.

Candice LeRae vs. Kai has been confirmed for NXT tonight. The match comes after LeRae got involved in Nox vs. Kai on NXT two weeks ago. LeRae stopped Kai from using a steel chair, then Nox hit Kai with her knee brace while the referee was distracted.

LeRae vs. Kai was announced during LeRae and Johnny Gargano’s appearance on this week’s edition of WWE’s The Bump. Gargano vs. Cameron Grimes was also teased for tonight, with Gargano saying he put in a request to face Grimes after WWE posted video of an angle over the weekend where Gargano and Grimes got into a confrontation at an NXT house show.

A Cruiserweight title number one contender’s match between Lio Rush and Angel Garza is official for tonight’s NXT. Adam Cole also tweeted at Kushida today: “In a really bad mood…and I hear Kushida has a problem with what happened last week. Ok tough guy, how about tonight you try and do something about it? I bet you won’t. @WWENXT #nxtonusa”
