# Karrion Kross and Samoa Joe come to face-to-face ahead of NXT TakeOver 36
* Karrion Kross has remained at arm’s length in his torment of Samoa Joe, but the two NXT TakeOver 36 combatants will meet face-to-face this Tuesday.
The NXT Champion has attacked Mr. Regal and drove Samoa Joe into a security mauling frenzy with his latest taunts. The bad blood continues to boil over before they meet for the NXT Championship as both will surely be looking for a massive statement just days ahead of their clash.
What fireworks are in store when Kross and Samoa Joe step to each other?

# MSK and Imperium meet in NXT Tag Team Championship clash
* The time for talk is over, as MSK and Imperium will go to war for the NXT Tag Team Championship on NXT’s Title Tuesday.
Fabian Aichner & Marcel Barthel have been forceful in their pursuit of the titles, but Nash Carter & Wes Lee have been unfazed by their taunts. MSK proved their mettle in a hard-hitting title clash against Tommaso Ciampa & Timothy Thatcher at NXT Great American Bash.
Will the champions now be able to meet the unbridled aggression of Imperium?

# Dexter Lumis & Indi Hartwell to take on Robert Stone & Jessi Kamea in a Mixed Tag Team Match
* Last week in a WWE Digital Exclusive, Jessi Kamea mentioned to Franky Monet that if she got the opportunity, she would mess up Indi Hartwell. In response, Robert Stone belittled Dexter Lumis and claimed he could beat the scary Superstar in under a minute. This left Monet pondering, which is always a recipe for trouble.


# Raquel Gonzalez and Dakota Kai issue final words before NXT TakeOver 36
* The time for talking is almost over.
On the final episode of NXT before TakeOver 36, NXT Women’s Champion Raquel Gonzalez and Dakota Kai will issue their last words to one another before doing battle this Sunday.
Whose words will prove most scathing heading into this highly anticipated NXT Women’s Title matchup?
