“Feeing so grateful for the life I live, I get to live two of my dreams at the same time this week. I am a WWE wrestler AND I’m competing for the title of Miss Universe Canada this week. It almost seems surreal, but I made it happen. Hard work always pays off.”

Here is the lineup for tonight’s episode of WWE NXT in Orlando, Florida at the Capitol Wrestling Center on the USA Network:
Since his departure from AEW earlier this summer, speculation has suggested that Brian Pillman Jr. could see himself getting a shot in WWE, with some reports even noting that the second-generation star had signed with the promotion. While Pillman himself has only hinted that big things could be on the horizon for him, it seems likely that there is some truth to the rumor that Pillman and WWE could soon be joined together.
PWInsider reports that Pillman is expected to be at this week’s “WWE NXT” tapings on Tuesday, though it is not currently known whether he would be appearing on TV or wrestling a match. Furthermore, while it has yet to be confirmed, it’s believed that Pillman has signed a contract with WWE, and will be working with the promotion going forward. It was previously reported that Pillman attended the Performance Center last month for a tryout.
Pillman Jr. last wrestled for AEW on May 13, as part of the promotion’s House Rules Tour. He has continued to wrestle on the independent scene, last wrestling NSW in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky on July 16.
Meanwhile, Pillman isn’t the only free agent who’s reportedly on the verge of becoming part of the WWE family. Earlier today, it was reported that Nick Aldis will be backstage for tonight’s “WWE Raw.”

WWE NXT tonight from the Capitol Wrestling Center inside the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida on the USA Network at 8/7c.
Dominik Mysterio is your new NXT North American Champion, which marks his first singles championship in WWE.
On this week’s episode of WWE NXT, Dominik Mysterio faced off against Wes Lee in the main event to capture the title. The finish came when Finn Balor and Damian Priest, who came out through the crowd, distracted Lee. This allowed Rhea Ripley to hit Lee with her WWE Women’s World Championship while the referees back was turned. Mysterio then pinned Lee to get the 1, 2, 3.
For what it’s worth, Wes Lee was set to defend the North American Championship against Mustafa Ali at the upcoming WWE NXT: Great American Bash pay-per-view event. Now, it appears we’ll see see Dominik Mysterio vs. Ali taking place at the show.
