Pat McAfee Accepts Adam Cole's Challenge For Next Week's WWE NXT, New Match Announced For The Show

By Marc Middleton

A big six-man match has been announced for next week's WWE NXT episode.

Legado del Fantasma (NXT Cruiserweight Champion Santos Escobar, Raul Mendoza, Joaquin Wilde) will take on Isaiah "Swerve" Scott and Breezango's Tyler Breeze and Fandango.

The six-man match was made after Escobar won a non-title match over Breeze on this week's show, thanks to interference from Mendoza and Wilde. The post-match angle saw Fandango, wearing a sling on his arm from last week's attack, make the save but get beat down until Swerve made the save and cleared the ring.

WWE has also confirmed that Pat McAfee will return next week to face off with "Takeover: XXX" opponent Adam Cole.

Tonight's show saw Cole and The Undisputed Era interrupt Killian Dain vs. Drake Maverick, taking out both competitors and sending a message to McAfee. Cole challenged McAfee to show up next week and McAfee later responded via Twitter.

"You want me back in that #WWENXT arena next Wednesday @AdamColePro? I'd love to.. The last time I was there, you ended up lifeless on the ground w/ @ShawnMichaels worried about your soulless, dumb, stupid body. Can't wait to dominate you and the whole wrestling community..AGAIN," McAfee wrote.

Below is the updated line-up for next week's NXT show on the USA Network, along with a few related tweets from tonight's show:

* Pat McAfee and Adam Cole come face to face

* Legado del Fantasma (NXT Cruiserweight Champion Santos Escobar, Raul Mendoza, Joaquin Wilde) vs. Isaiah "Swerve" Scott and Breezango
