Tonight's taped WWE NXT episode on the USA Network will see the tournament to crown an Interim Cruiserweight Champion continue.

Drake Maverick vs. Kushida will take place as the final Group A match. This could be Drake's final match with WWE but a win for him would force a three-way tie with Jake Atlas and Kushida. A win tonight for Kushida will send him to the finals with the winner of Group B. Group B action will wrap tonight with El Hijo del Fantasma vs. Akira Tozawa. The winner of that match will be declared the Group B winner, to face the winner of Group A for the Interim NXT Cruiserweight Title.
