WWE NXT photos for Dec. 19, 2018, featuring Heavy Machinery in action, Io Shirai & Dakota Kai trading blows with Jessamyn Duke & Marina Shafir, and the arrival of Dominik Dijakovic. Plus, Aleister Black and Johnny Gargano unleash mayhem inside a steel cage.

In what might be considered a warmup for their NXT Tag Team Title Match next week against champions Roderick Strong & Kyle O’Reilly, Heavy Machinery absolutely dominated the team of Blake Howell & Danny D’Accardo.

The Big Bulls of NXT were well on their way to victory when the entire Undisputed ERA came out to the stage to get a closer look at Otis Dozovic & Tucker Knight. Undisputed ERA’s scouting expedition, however, seemed to put even more pep in Heavy Machinery’s step. Dozovic & Knight combined to hit not one, but three Compactors on their opponents. The final blow was the most devastating of all, with Dozovic & Knight squashing both Howell & D’Accardo in a seismic two-for-one. Although they’ll never admit it, Heavy Machinery’s buffet of brutality may have sown doubt in the minds of Strong & O’Reilly ahead of next Wednesday’s big title match.
