Santos Escobar on why fans should watch this week's WWE NXT
This week's episode of WWE NXT is an important one for Santos Escobar. He will be defending his NXT Cruiserweight title against one of the standout performers of 205 Live, Curt Stallion. This could mean the end of his title reign, which has been a long and dominant one so far.
Talking about the night, Escobar pointed out all the other matches that were also taking place on the night that the WWE Universe needed to see.
"Well yes, of course. NXT Universe, WWE Universe tune in. We also have a non-title matchup between NXT Champion Finn Balor and Kyle O'Reilly, which is the last-expected tag team for him, against the NXT Tag Team Champions, Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch. We also have a couple of Dusty Classic Quarter Final matches - MSK, the newest sensation, against Drake Maverick and Killian Dain. And of course the Grizzled Young Veterans against Kushida and Leon, who some people say are the black horses of the competition."
"I personally don't agree. I think Legado Del Fantasma is going to win the Dusty Classic and eventually win the NXT Tag Team Championship. But in order to know what's going to happen, you got to tune in at 8 PM EST on USA Network."
