NXT Women’s Champion Io Shirai joins North American Champion Damian Priest against Candice LeRae & Johnny Gargano
September 30, 2020
Can NXT’s “First Couple” carve out an early advantage ahead of their championship matches at NXT TakeOver 31?
Find out Wednesday night on NXT as NXT Women’s Champion Io Shirai teams with NXT North American Champion Damian Priest to face TakeOver opponents Candice LeRae & Johnny Gargano.
LeRae won last week’s No. 1 Contender’s Battle Royal to clinch her long-awaited NXT Women’s Title opportunity, while NXT General Manager William Regal announced Gargano earlier this month as Priest’s latest challenger.
Gargano fired the first shot at Priest last week when he ambushed The Archer of Infamy, blasting him with a superkick and mocking his signature pose following Priest’s victory over Austin Theory.
LeRae, meanwhile, has had her eyes set on Shirai’s championship for quite some time.
Which duo will seize a crucial victory before NXT TakeOver 31?
