Bengaluru, January 19: With no WWE Network Specials waiting for the brand in the near future, WWE NXT 2.0 is focusing on the weekly episodes and a stacked edition with five matches is all set for next week.
The undefeated Solo Sikoa will return to action in a repackaged avatar. A video clip aired this week where Sikoa was seen donning a face-paint like his brothers Jey and Jimmy Uso.
This face-paint was added in a storyline perspective after Sikoa took a fireball to the face from Boa, last week. Sikoa now has face-paint on one side of his face and burn scars makeup on the other.

Sikoa will come after Boa to seek retribution in a No DQ, Falls Count Anywhere Match where we expect all hell to break loose, next week. Boa’s supernatural powers seemingly put Sikoa’s undefeated streak in jeopardy.
The Toxic Attraction will return to action as a unit in a tag team match, next week. Ivy Nile defeated Kay Lee Ray in a singles contest, this week via distraction from WWE NXT Women’s Champion Mandy Rose.
Once the match was over, WWE NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions Jacy Jayne and Gigi Dolin joined Mandy for a beatdown on KLR but Indi Hartwell and Persia Pirotta made the save and sent The Toxic Attraction for a retreat.

After what went down, Mandy, Dolin, and Jayne will feature in a six-woman tag team action against KLR, Indi and Persia, next week. This match will help elevate the ongoing feud where KLR is focused on Mandy’s NXT Women’s Title.
Tony D’Angelo declared this week that he has his sights set on WWE NXT North American Title. Cameron Grimes also intended to go after the title which led the champion, Carmelo Hayes, to announce a match between Grimes and Tony for next week.
WWE further confirmed the same lineup with the winner being announced as the new number-one contender for NXT North American Title.
