WWE presents 3-hours of previously unaired programming tonight. NXT, 205 Live, and the latest episode of the Mae Young Classic will air on the WWE Network.
NXT 10/24 Preview
Aleister Black Is Back, Now What?
The former NXT champion returned during the main event between Nikki Cross and Bianca Belair last week. Black demanded that Nikki tell him who it is that attacked him and put him out of action. He then seethed with rage after she whispered who it was into his ear. Now that Black knows who his attacker was he will be on a quest for revenge. We could even find out who the attacker was tonight as well.
NXT Championship Announcement For War Games
William Regal has said that he will announce Tommaso Ciampa’s challenger for the NXT Championship at WarGames tonight. The Takeover event takes place November 17th from the Staples Center in LA.
Mia Yim vs Aliyah
Mia Yim’s WWE signing was delayed a year after a leg injury following the 2017 MYC so she’ll be looking to make up for lost time. She’ll face Aliyah in her first match on NXT programming tonight.
Aliyah’s all-time record in single’s matches on NXT programming leaves a lot to be desired. Her 1-13 record’s only bright spot was a win over Billie Kay in 2016.
What’s Next For the Undisputed Era?
The Undisputed Era saved their tag team championships last week when a returning Bobby Fish caused the disqualification in a match against the War Raiders. With a little over three weeks to go before WarGames, one has to wonder if William Regal will put the team back inside the 2-ring steel cage again this year.
205 Live Preview 10/24
Mike and Maria Kanellis Bring True Love To 205 Live
Mike and Maria Kanellis made an impactful 205 Live debut recently, interfering in match between Lio Rush and Lince Dorado two weeks ago. Tonight, Mike Kanellis will make his in-ring debut against Dorado.
Hideo Itami vs Mustafa Ali
This rivalry continues tonight as Mustafa Ali looks to take out the man responsible for putting him on the sidelines for part of the summer. As for Itami, as always, he’s just looking to make sure people respect him.
These two have met twice this year. Itami won the first meeting and the second ended in a double count-out. They also met on NXT in 2016 once. Itami won that match too.
Here is Mustafa Ali cutting an intense promo in the rain in regards to this match:

Mae Young Classic 10/24 Preview
It’s semi-final night at the Mae Young Classic. After tonight’s episode airs, the Mae Young Classic final will be official for Sunday’s Evolution. In opposite fashion to the WWE World Cup, no Americans are left in the tournament.
Io Shira vs Rhea Ripley
Rhea Ripley is fast becoming one of the most talked about heels in WWE. After Tegan Nox suffered multiple leg injuries in their quarter-final bout, Ripley did not let up and continued to lay waste to her opponent. She later ripped into her through social media as well.

On the other side of the ring will be Io Shirai, one of the hottest prospects WWE has after signing her away from Stardom. Only one of these women will make it to Evolution.
Toni Storm vs Meiko Satomura
Satomura is a grizzled veteran who wrestled on Nitro as a teenager while Toni Storm is a young 23-year-old prospect from the Gold Coast. Storm has signed and will be a part of the NXT UK division but first, she’s looking to book her ticket to Evolution on Sunday.
