Bengaluru, August 11: Two huge matches have been confirmed for the upcoming WWE NXT TakeOver 36, which is scheduled to take place on Sunday, August 22 at the Capitol Wrestling Center in Orlando, Florida.

During last night’s show, it was noted that the Million Dollar Champion LA Knight will put his title on the line against Cameron Grimes, marking the third match of their ongoing feud.

As per the stipulations put forth in the match, WWE Hall of Famer “The Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase will also become Knight’s butler if Grimes loses this match. Grimes is currently appointed as Knight’s butler after losing to him at Great American Bash 2021.

WWE NXT General Manager William Regal hosted a session between two bitter rivals of NXT to announce “The Undisputed Finale: Adam Cole vs. Kyle O’Reilly III” for NXT TakeOver 36.

This match will see Cole and O’Reilly battling under 2 out of 3 Falls rules. O’Reilly was allowed to pick the first stipulation, as he went forward picking a standard pin-fall or submission match.

Cole picked the second stipulation that is a Street Fight. Regal then picked the third stipulation, if needed, and said it will be fought inside a Steel Cage. That being said for the first time in NXT history three different stipulations will be used in one bout.

WWE NXT TakeOver 36 is scheduled to take place on Sunday, August 22 from the Capitol Wrestling Center at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. Check out the updated card:
