NXT Cruiserweight Champion Lio Rush is in the middle of thanking Akira Tozawa for bringing the fight when Angel Garza shows up, looking for a fight himself.

Next week on WWE NXT, NXT Cruiserweight Champion Lio Rush will defend the title in a rematch against Angel Garza. However, tonight, the two rivals have hand-picked each other’s opponents as they prepare for their high-stakes battle.

For Garza, The Man of the Hour chose Raul Mendoza, for whom Rush has developed a great respect. The NXT Cruiserweight Champion was pushed to the limit by Mendoza and wants Garza to experience the same level of competition from Mendoza.

Garza responded to Rush’s pick by choosing the hard-hitting Danny Burch. Following the British Superstar’s performance last week, Garza is certain he’ll bring that same level of intensity against The Man of the Hour.

Ah, @itsLioRush... I will beat @RaulMendozaWWE tonight with pleasure😇. In return, you can face @strongstylebrit. Danny impressed me last week and I know he will put a goooooood hurting on you tonight 😈. Please shine my title before Wednesday please. 😈😇Enjoy your match 😈😇
