WWE NXT: Full Preview, Match Card and More for May 27
Welcome to Bleacher Report's preview for this week's episode of WWE NXT, where we take a spoiler-free look at what's in store for the developmental brand's upcoming episode.
TakeOver: Unstoppable had many memorable moments, but the one that had the most people talking was Samoa Joe's surprise debut.
However, the match that really stole the show was Sasha Banks vs. Becky Lynch for the NXT Women's Championship. It was an absolute clinic that outshined anything from any other man or woman on the card.

Modern-Day Dream Matches 💭

Most Likely Backlash Heel/Face Turns 🎭
It will be hard to live up to the excitement of last week's live special. Let's take a look at Wednesday's show to see if it can measure up.
The Women
Dana Brooke and Emma were unsuccessful against Bayley and Charlotte at Unstoppable, but Emma will get a shot at revenge when she takes on Bayley in singles action.
Until recently, Bayley and Emma were similar. Like Bayley, Emma used to rely on her bubbly personality and skill between the ropes to connect with the crowd.
Now, the Australian is looking to change her luck with a new attitude and a partner who can overpower almost anyone in the division.
A win over Bayley could do good things for Emma. Her run on the main roster was a joke, but she was quite popular in NXT. Going over one of the most beloved women in the developmental system would be a big step in the right direction.
The Tag Teams
Wesley Blake and Buddy Murphy have Alexa Bliss to thank for their win over Enzo Amore and Colin Cassady at Unstoppable, but the champs don't get a week off just because they retained their titles.
Blake and Murphy will be facing the team of Elias Sampson and Mike Rallis. Sampson is a semi-regular on NXT weekly broadcasts, but Rallis might be unfamiliar to many of you.
This pairing seems like it was probably thrown together in order to give the champions an easy victory, but you never know in NXT.
This could be the start of a new team, and a win over the champions would be an outstanding way to hit the ground running.
Amore and Cassady will almost certainly continue to chase the titles, and if they are bitter about losing last week to such dirty tactics, they could make an appearance to cause a little trouble.
The Men
Two singles matches are scheduled for this week's show. The first will feature the new No. 1 contender, Finn Balor, taking on Tye Dillinger.
Balor is just coming off a big win over Tyler Breeze, so having him lose to a guy like Dillinger wouldn't make a lot of sense.
Like Sampson and Rallis, Dillinger is likely just there to give his opponent an easy win. He's never really won anything himself, and it seems far-fetched that he would get an upset over Balor.
One thing we will need to watch out for is Kevin Owens. He knows Balor will be his next challenger, and with his history, it's not out of the question to think he could attack Balor to send him a message.
Speaking of Owens, he will also be in action in the main event of the evening when he takes on Solomon Crowe.
Crowe's run has been a bit of a disappointment so far. He is facing big names, but he doesn't seem to be getting any victories.
It's sad to think WWE would spend all that time hyping his debut only to end up using him as little more than a punching bag for top stars.
Like Owens, Crowe doesn't exactly fit the stereotypical image of a WWE Superstar. He has a unique look and a lot of fans from his days on the indy scene.
In fact, Crowe and Owens had a few run-ins wrestling for other promotions. Anyone who used to watch them perform in little venues will probably love being able to see them work in a WWE ring.
Owens already has his next challenger lined up, so he has nothing to lose in this match. Crowe would get a huge boost with a victory over the champion, but he will probably suffer the same brutal onslaught Sami Zayn experienced last week.
It doesn't look like an amazing show based off the card, but NXT is always good for some level of entertainment, so it's worth tuning in. What are you looking forward to seeing during Wednesday's show?
