Even a warning from Paul Revere might not have spared Roderick Strong the shock of Pete Dunne’s unannounced return to the black-and-gold brand last week.
In one fell swoop, The BruiserWeight stormed back into Full Sail Live, splayed Strong’s fingers and inserted himself into the NXT North American Title scene, spoiling Strong’s plan of being Velveteen Dream’s lone challenger at TakeOver: Toronto.
All three Superstars are now set to battle in a Triple Threat Match at TakeOver on Aug. 10, but if Strong has his way, Dunne won’t be able to make it to Toronto after they collide in one-on-one action this week on NXT.
NXT streams tonight at 8/7 C on the award-winning WWE Network.
