Several matches have been announced for NXT UK, 205 Live, and SmackDown Live. While WWE has announced that some Dusty Rhodes first round matches will take place on NXT, no specific bouts for the same have been announced.

Top superstars including Cedric Alexander, R-Truth, the Miz, Jey Uso, Jordan Devlin, Travis Bank, Ligero, Joseph Conners, Humberto Carillo, Oney Lorcan, and Akira Tozawa are all confirmed to be in action next week on WWE television. Two matches have been confirmed for NXT UK while two more have been announced for 205 Live and SmackDown Live respectively. The most important of them all include a falls count anywhere match, a United States Championship match and two first-round matches of the number one contender's Cruiserweight Championship tournament.

These are going to be the last few WWE television shows before Fastlane and as a result of that, they will be immensely important. All of these matches have the potential to steal the show and will likely be great contests.


#6. Ligero vs Joseph Connors (NXT UK)

Ligero and Joseph Connors have been involved in a feud for the last few months. Connors has claimed that he was neglected by WWE after the first ever NXT UK Championship tournament. He then claimed that WWE has instead put the focus on "shiny new toys" like Ligero while reminiscing the time he was once one of those "shiny new toys".

The two superstars would then have a match on the January 9, 2019 edition of NXT UK earlier in the year. Ligero would go on to defeat Connors via pinfall with a springboard tornado DDT. This increased Joseph's frustration and he has been looking for a chance to redeem himself ever since.

He will have his chance next week on NXT UK when the two face off in what will likely be the opening matchup of NXT UK's episode.
