4 Hints WWE dropped on NXT this week

NXT was just brilliant this week. The Black and Gold brand is a gift that keeps on giving and there hasn't been a single episode where the WWE Universe has been left upset with what they have seen. This week, we saw some incredible matches unfold in front of our eyes.

The show started with Killian Dain coming out and issuing an open challenge since Damien Priest wasn't cleared medically to face The Beast from Belfast. Pete Dunne accepted the challenge but was defeated in a stupendous bout. Next, we saw Keith Lee and Tommaso Ciampa take the game to a Bobby Fish-less Undisputed Era, setting up the main event.

After that, Shayna Baszler defeated Xia Li, while the Forgotten Sons got the better of Leon Ruff & Adrian Alanis.

The Rhea Ripley vs Dakota Kai, though, never got started as Mia Yim attacked Kai and took her backstage, while Ripley was jumped by Shayna Baszler and team. The NXT Women's Champion then accepted Ripley's challenge for the NXT Championship.

Then, two long-term rivals, Kassius Ohno and Matt Riddle, faced off against each other; a match that was won by the King of Bros. After that, Kuchida returned to WWE programming for the first time since suffering an injury and defeated Cameron Grimes in an engrossing encounter. Then, in the main event, Keith Lee, Tommaso Ciampa, and Dominik Dijakovic defeated The Undisputed Era.

After the match, William Regal announced that Ciampa vs Balor vs Lee for the #1 Contender for the NXT Championship will be taking place next week.

With all that in mind, let's take a look at the four hints WWE dropped on this week's NXT:

#4 Matt Riddle might be the first one to make a move to RAW or SmackDown next year

With the likes of Keith Lee and Dominik Dijakovic taking part in the main event of NXT week in week out, one has to ask - Where is Matt Riddle?

The answer to this question is quite simple - Maybe Riddle is soon moving to RAW or SmackDown in 2020 and that is the reason why Triple H doesn't have him featuring in the main events.

It's no secret that Vince McMahon likes Matt Riddle and maybe The Original Bro has been earmarked as the first Superstar from the current NXT batch to make a move to either RAW or SmackDown.
