Both Ziggler and Ciampa kept on getting back at each other by cutting promos on their own shows. Soon, the announcement was made of them facing each other. The two men kept on having run-ins on NXT and Raw for the last two weeks as they keep a look for the next opportunity at Bron Breakker’s NXT Championship.

Ciampa is hellbent on proving to Ziggler that he shouldn’t be underestimated, while Dolph wants to show Tommaso off as a minor league player. Also, the 2022 Women’s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic will commence next week. Although the tournament has not been revealed yet there are few confirmed teams. The teams set to compete are, Kay Lee Ray & Io Shirai, Indi Hartwell & Persia Pirotta.

La Knight will also be in action next week. Knight was nearly arrested by Waller on Vengeance Day because he violated the terms of his restraining order. The order was declared void and Knight is once again free to fight.

NXT: Level Up set design leaked

WWE is coming up with a new show called, NXT: Level Up. As per reports, the show would be acting as the replacement for 205 Live. Now, pictures have surfaced from the sets of the new show. 205 live started back in 2016 after the cruiserweight classic but it never received the fame it deserved. Although entertaining, the show was often neglected and sidelined by the company within months of its launch.

WWE started filming the new show this week instead of the usual 205 live and audiences present at the venue started sharing pictures of the set. The pictures gave fans an idea on how this new creation would look like.

While the weight cap on the show is not yet confirmed, it is expected not to. 205 Live had a restriction on wrestlers weighing above 205lbs, this show is expected to not have any such restrictions. The run time of the show will also be around one hour. WWE is yet to announce the conclusion of 205 live and fans must wait to hear any new decision.
