WWE NXT: Full Preview, Match Card and More for March 30

The Doctor Chris MuellerMar 29, 2016

Welcome to Bleacher Report's preview for this week's episode of WWE NXT, where we'll take a spoiler-free look at what's in store for the developmental brand's upcoming episode.

This is the final show before TakeOver: Dallas on Friday, and it appears WWE has packed the card with as many matches as possible for a one-hour show.

Here is a quick breakdown of the lineup for Wednesday's episode:

TOP NEWS

WRESTLING: OCT 02 AEW Dynamite/Rampage Pittsburgh
Monday Night RAW
  • Austin Aries vs. Riddick Moss
  • American Alpha vs. John Skyler and Corey Hollis
  • Baron Corbin vs. local talent
  • The Revival vs. Steve Cutler and Tucker Knight
  • Apollo Crews vs. Alex Riley
  • Samoa Joe vs. Bull Dempsey

Six matches is a lot for one episode of NXT, and considering a few video packages for TakeOver will likely be in the mix, each bout will only have so much time.

Both teams involved in the NXT Tag Team Championship match at TakeOver will have a warm-up against less established talents, so those outcomes are relatively easy to predict.

One of the things that people will look forward to on this episode will be the wrestling debut of Austin Aries. AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura have overshadowed his signing a bit, but he will show everyone what he is capable of this week.

Aries is an exciting wrestler with a lot to offer. He found great success in TNA after spending years on the indy circuit, so many are already familiar with what he can do.

His TakeOver opponent, Baron Corbin, will also be in action this week, so these bouts will help them prepare for Friday's big event.

Unfortunately, this week's show will be the final NXT appearance of Bull Dempsey. He has been absent from the company for several weeks, but this set of shows was taped before he was released.

Dempsey was a unique talent who had a loyal following among the WWE Universe. Hopefully, he makes a name for himself in another promotion and finds his way back to WWE at some point in the future.

With the exception of Sami Zayn vs. Nakamura, every match scheduled for TakeOver will see at least one participant compete on Wednesday's show.

Let's take a look at what is scheduled for TakeOver: Dallas:

  • Austin Aries vs. Baron Corbin
  • Apollo Crews vs. Elias Samson
  • The Revival vs. American Alpha (NXT Tag Team Championships)
  • Bayley vs. Asuka (NXT Women's Championship)
  • Sami Zayn vs. Shinsuke Nakamura
  • Finn Balor vs. Samoa Joe (NXT Championship)

Friday's show has the potential to be one of the best live NXT specials we have ever seen. Every competitor who is scheduled to compete brings something to the table, and NXT has built up most of the feuds well over the past few months.

WrestleMania 32 might be the show that everyone is talking about right now, but NXT has had better shows than the main roster on more than one occasion. You can bet the men and women of the developmental system will do their best to make sure we get our money's worth.

What are your predictions for TakeOver: Dallas?
