Three tag teams will battle in a triple threat to determine the number-one contenders for the NXT Tag Team Championship. Plus, Raw Superstar Dana Brooke will compete on NXT for the first time since 2016 in a match against Cora Jade.

A prep rally will also be there on the June 20 episode of NXT to gear up Thea Hail for her upcoming NXT Women’s Championship match opportunity. At a glance, next week’s match card goes as follows:
