On Tommaso Ciampa’s first address as the NXT Champion:

Following his shocking defeat of Aleister Black last week to win the NXT Championship, Tommaso Ciampa will appear at Full Sail Live with the title around his waist for the first time. Now that the “most dangerous man in NXT” is atop the mountain, what will he have to say to the NXT Universe, Black and bitter rival Johnny Gargano after Johnny Wrestling accidentally cost The Dutch Destroyer the title? How will the psychotic Blackheart begin his reign as the top champion of the black-and-yellow brand? Find out tonight on the award-winning WWE Network.

On EC3 and Kona Reeves doing battle:

Two of WWE NXT’s most boastful, brand-building Superstars came face-to-face several weeks ago when EC3 and Kona Reeves bumped into one another and couldn’t help but compare their expensive threads and exquisitely groomed looks. Naturally, the confrontation led to the two trying to one-up each other, which resulted in EC3 wanting to fight. Reeves eventually accepted, and the two will collide this week, but who will have the edge: NXT’s Finest or The Top One Percent?
