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.

Gable Steveson was drafted to “Raw” during last year’s WWE Draft but has remained almost completely absent from WWE programming. According to “Wrestling Observer Radio,” Steveson is still very busy with amateur wrestling.
Gable Steveson appeared last night in a segment on WWE NXT. Steveson offered to help train Eddy Thorpe for his Raw Underground match against Damon Kemp — Steveson’s real-life brother.
While WWE has yet to confirm Steveson’s involvement in the match, the Raw Underground bout between Kemp and Thorpe is set for the July 4 episode of “NXT.”
Earlier this week, a report from “FloWrestling” suggested that Steveson was interested in a return to NCAA Wrestling, following his return to freestyle wrestling at the US Open and Final X this spring. Although Steveson had previously retired from NCAA and Olympic wrestling, he still has one year of NCAA eligibility left, meaning his return to the mat in 2024 is a real possibility.
Furthermore, Steveson has expressed his desire to capture another gold medal for his country at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, telling “MMA Fighting” earlier this year that he intends to “become one of the best American amateur wrestlers ever” and still has “a lot more left in the tank” with regards to amateur wrestling. According to “The Wrestling Observer,” Steveson’s return to the Olympic stage would be incumbent upon WWE clearing him and allowing him to take time off pro wrestling.
Before his return on Tuesday, Steveson was last seen on WWE programming on the December 9 episode of “WWE SmackDown” where he celebrated Kurt Angle’s birthday by hosing down Alpha Academy with a milk truck.
“He’s got stuff he wants to do and now it’s a question of WWE clearing him,” Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer said.
