Summary

WWE has confirmed three matches for the May 5 episode of NXT following Tuesday's show on The CW.

The advertised lineup includes Jasper Troy vs. Jackson Drake, with Ricky Smokes and Brad Baylor set to accompany Drake. Kali Armstrong is also scheduled to face Jaida Parker in a singles match.

The other newly announced bout will see AAA World Mixed Tag Team Champions Mr. Iguana and NXT Women's Champion Lola Vice team up against The Culling's Izzi Dame and Niko Vance, with Shawn Spears in their corner.

Updated card for May 5 NXT

The announced matches for the show are:

  • Jasper Troy vs. Jackson Drake (with Ricky Smokes and Brad Baylor)
  • Kali Armstrong vs. Jaida Parker
  • Mr. Iguana and Lola Vice vs. Izzi Dame and Niko Vance (with Shawn Spears)

Lola Vice and The Culling move to next week

The tag match gives NXT a direct follow-up to Mr. Iguana backing up Lola Vice during The Culling confrontation on WWE NXT. Instead of letting that angle sit for another week, the promotion has already turned it into a match involving Vice, Dame, Vance and Spears' group.

Armstrong vs. Parker also adds another meaningful singles match to the card, giving two rising names a featured spot on the same episode.
