WWE NXT: Full Preview, Match Card and More for August 19
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.
WWE made an odd choice to film more episodes before Saturday's live TakeOver special from Brooklyn. One episode will air before TakeOver, and the rest will air after, so the company may have spoiled some storylines.
Luckily, we don't have to worry about that right now. All we need to concern ourselves with is Wednesday's show. Let's take a look at what's in store.

Modern-Day Dream Matches 💭

Most Likely Backlash Heel/Face Turns 🎭
The Women
We won't be seeing a match from the women of NXT this week, but we will get a contract signing between Sasha Banks and Bayley.
After defeating Charlotte and Becky Lynch, Bayley earned herself a shot at the Women's Championship. This is not her first title shot, but it's the most important.
With the Divas revolution taking place on the main roster, Banks isn't going to have time to be the champion in the developmental system, which means Bayley is all but a lock to win the title on Saturday.
As with all contract signings, we can expect this to end with someone throwing a punch, but you never know. John Cena and Seth Rollins got through one on Monday without incident, so perhaps this will be a civil affair.
The Tag Teams
Two tag team matches are scheduled for this week's show. The first will feature Enzo Amore, Colin Cassady, Zack Ryder and Mojo Rawley battling a team of four jobbers.
We all know how that bout will end, so there's no point in discussing it in detail. Amore and Big Cass are as over with the fans as anyone in NXT right now, but it will be interesting to see how they work with Ryder and Rawley, known collectively as The Hype Bros.
The second contest will see champions Wesley Blake and Buddy Murphy take on Sawyer Fulton and Angelo Dawkins.
Team BAMF will be defending their Tag Team Championships against The Vaudevillians at TakeOver, so this is a warm-up more than anything else.
While the outcome is predictable, it is still an opportunity for Dawkins and Fulton to show the NXT fans what they are capable of.
The Men
Two singles matches are set for Wednesday's show. The first is gong to pit Tyler Breeze against a Superstar named Ryzin.
Breeze is scheduled to face Jushin Thunder Liger in the Japanese legend's WWE debut on Saturday, so the odds of him losing this bout are slim.
The interesting thing here is that there is a new character named Ryzin. For those who don't know, Triple H used to go by the name Terra Ryzing. It's possible the name Ryzin is a reference to Triple H's old persona.
The night's final match will see Samoa Joe going up against Steve Cutler. Just like Breeze, Joe is booked for Saturday's live special, so he will likely come away with the win in this one.
Joe might have an easy victory in his future, but he will have to watch his back. Baron Corbin might be looking to soften up his opponent before Saturday's showdown.
With just four matches on the card, Wednesday's episode of NXT will be filled with video packages hyping this weekend's big live special from Brooklyn. What are you looking forward to on this week's show?
