ADVERTISED MATCHES & SEGMENTS
Charlotte Flair returns to the NXT ring to take on Bianca Belair
Charlotte Flair not only accepted Rhea Ripley’s challenge for WrestleMania at Takeover: Portland she attacked Bianca Belair as well. BeLair didn’t take kindly as she interrupted Chelsea Green and Kayden Carter’s match and called Charlotte out. Charlotte took to Twitter and responded to Belair. The question is will Belair spoil Charlotte in-ring return to NXT and stop her momentum heading into WrestleMania?

(Amin’s Analysis: This should be a great match as both Belair and Charlotte are really talented wrestlers. It will be interesting to see how this match plays out and if we get a run-in from Ripley? I preferably would rather not see a run-in or a Dusty Finish and just see a great pro wrestling match.)
Watch Finn Balor’s next move
After defeating Johnny Gargano at Takeover: Portland, looks like Finn Balor already has his next move plotted out. The question is what does Balor have on his mind and which NXT wrestler will he go after next?

(Amin’s Analysis: Finn Balor has been one of the main highlights of NXT since returning as a heel. After his victory over Gargano, Balor should be in line for a championship match. I would like him to face Adam Cole but that match happened so a NXT North American Championship against Keith Lee could be more likely.)
Tommaso Ciampa battles Austin Theory
Last week, Austin Theory felt the wrath of Tommaso Ciampa after he interrupted the former NXT Champion who was addressing Johnny Gargano’s action at TakeOver: Portland. Theory will be looking for some payback as he will face Ciampa tonight on NXT. The question is will Ciampa take out his anger over Gargano’s on Theory?

(Amin’s Analysis: This should be a fun wrestling match and a big test for Theory since joining NXT. I could see this match ending in a Dusty finish with outside interference from Gargano to set up a match with Ciampa for TakeOver: Tampa Bay.)
The Big Takeaway From Last Week’s Show
The Undisputed Era laid out The Velveteen Dream after he defeated Roderick Strong in the main event. Jordan Devlin retained his NXT Cruiserweight Title after defeating Lio Rush in a great pro wrestling match.
Overall Thoughts
The in-ring wrestling on NXT is solid-to-great for most part, and this episode should be no different. My bigger interest is seeing how NXT can try to create new storylines that will bring interest and try to engage new viewers to the show.
Bianca is not big enough to beat an icon like charlotte flair charlotte is gonna beat her tomorrow
