WWE NXT delivered an action-packed episode for the fans on August 9. With NXT Heatwave scheduled for next week, many prominent stars looked to make an impact in last night’s episode. WWE NXT featured high-octane action and plenty of drama as Santos Escobar and Tony D’Angelo sat down for a final accord. Both of them agreed to a Street Fight match at Heatwave next week. They decided that if Escobar loses, he would have to leave NXT. On the other hand, an Escobar win will free Legado del Fantasma from the clutches of The D’Angelo Family. The show had a packed match card which included a blockbuster encounter between Pretty Deadly and Malik and Edris Enofe.
Here are all the highlights from an enthralling episode of WWE NXT 2.0.
