The first three participants in the six-man ladder match to
determine the next NXT champion were announced last night on
NXT.
Shiloh Hill advanced first by defeating Josh Briggs and then
Sean Legacy defeated Eli Knight in the second qualifier to
advance. Legacy and Knight are NXT’s newest arrivals after
previously having WWE ID contracts.
Former champion Ricky Saints, who was the champion before
Oba Femi won it, gets a free pass and was automatically
inserted into the match, leaving three empty spots.
Those spots will be determined by three more qualifying
matches which will feature Dion Lennox vs Myles Borne, Keanu
Carver vs Andre Chase, and Joe Hendry vs Jackson Drake.
The ladder match will take place on the February 3 episode
of NXT on The CW.
