-NXT will be live tonight from Orlando, Florida, at the WWE Performance Center. The show features No. 1 contenders’ matches for shots at the NXT Championship and NXT Women’s Championship at the Great American Bash. Join John Moore for his weekly live review as the show airs Tuesdays on The CW at 7CT/8ET. John’s same-night audio reviews are available exclusively for Dot Net Members (including our Patreon patrons).

We are looking for reports of the tapings or dark matches held before NXT at the WWE Performance Center. If you are going tonight or to a future show and want to help, email me at dotnetjason@gmail.com.
