This week’s NXT promised a major announcement from William Regal. That announcement: NXT TakeOver XXX is on the Saturday before Summerslam. Regal also threw it to Keith Lee, who said he was relinquishing the North American Championship. That title will be decided in a ladder match at the upcoming TakeOver, and a qualifying match was last night.

WTF Moment of the Day: Undertaker Joins TikTok
I wish I was joking. The account is verified, and now we wait on the first TikTok of the Deadman. 2020 continues to surprise.
Jericho Cruise Postponed
Those who wanted to rock on the sea are going to have to wait a bit longer in 2021. Chris Jericho’s Triple Whammy Rock ‘N’ Wrestling cruise has been delayed. It was originally scheduled to run in early February 2021, but has now been moved to October 2021. For now the cruise remains docked.
After careful consideration and caution for everyone’s health and safety, we have made the difficult but necessary decision to postpone the Triple Whammy. We will now sail Oct 21-25, 2021 from Miami, Florida to Grand Bahama Island. Learn more: https://t.co/3OqvhZjwsU
