Bengaluru, May 12: WWE officially announced the return of NXT “TakeOver: In Your House” for Sunday, June 13 which will stream exclusively on Peacock in the United States and on WWE Network elsewhere at 7 ET/4 PT on that night. In their announcement, WWE mentioned that former WWE announcer Todd Pettengill will be the host of the show.

WWE NXT: In Your House was brought back last June for the first time in more than 21 years which saw the debut of current NXT Champion Karrion Kross. In the main event of the show, Io Shirai beat Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley in a Triple Threat to win the NXT Women’s Championship.

A teaser for In Your House has been released which says, “What will Kross and company have in store for the NXT Universe when the black-and-gold brand once again takes over?”



WWE NXT North American Title match has been announced for next Tuesday’s NXT episode where Johnny Gargano will defend against Bronson Reed inside a Steel Cage.

The official announcement came during this week’s NXT opener, which saw NXT Champion Karrion Kross defeat Austin Theory while Gargano watched from ringside. Reed captured the number-one contender’s spot by defeating Theory on the April 27 NXT show.


Later, Gargano and Austin Theory attacked Reed in the locker room after which Reed pledged NXT General Manager William Regal to add the Steel Cage stipulation to the match. Reed vs. Gargano will be a rematch from the NXT Takeover: Stand and Deliver Night Two event, where Gargano retained after capitalizing via interference from Theory.



Toni Storm will also receive a rematch from Zoey Stark on next Tuesday’s NXT show. This duo has been feuding for a few weeks now as Stark defeated Storm on the NXT “Takeover: Stand and Deliver” Night One Kickoff Pre-show, in their first singles encounter. New faction Hit Row Records' Top Dolla and Ashante Adonis were also confirmed for a tag team match against EverRise.



Two big matches for the May 25 WWE NXT episode were also revealed. Finn Balor will challenge Karrion Kross for his NXT Title on that night. Balor and Kross had a face-off segment following Kross’ non-title win over Austin Theory in this week’s opener.

Balor and Kross then agreed to compete in a title match. Kross won the NXT Championship from Balor at NXT Takeover: Stand and Deliver Night Two event during WrestleMania 37 Weekend.



Franky Monet will also make her “world premiere” debut in two weeks meaning she will be seen in action for the first time on WWE TV. There is no word yet on who the former Impact Wrestling will take on.
