Undisputed WWE NXT Cruiserweight Champion Santos Escobar is set to defend his titles on Tuesday's NXT episode on the USA Network.

Escobar unified the Cruiserweight Titles at "Takeover: Stand and Deliver" Night Two last Thursday night, by defeating Jordan Devlin in a Ladder Match. In an update, Escobar took to Twitter this afternoon to issue an Open Challenge for the NXT Tuesday night premiere.

On a related note, it looks like Escobar will continue to carry both titles around. WWE released post-Takeover video, seen below, of Escobar receiving new custom title plates for the belt Devlin held. Escobar also shared a moment with his son in the video.
