WWE NXT: Full Preview, Match Card and More for April 27

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.

The past few weeks have been a bit of a guessing game. WWE taped a lot of matches for future episodes of NXT during WrestleMania Axxess.

Instead of playing them in the order they were filmed, it seemed like someone would randomly pick which bouts would end up on the show each week.

We are nearing the end of the shows featuring these contests, and this week's episode will likely be the last one before WWE films new content for the developmental brand.

WWE.com's official preview only has information for one match between Shinsuke Nakamura and Elias Samson.

Nakamura has been busy since debuting at TakeOver: Dallas. He has been competing at almost every live event, and WWE has even posted a few videos featuring The King of Strong Style at these shows, which is not something the company usually does.

We have seen him celebrating with Finn Balor and receiving staples in his head following a match where he was busted open.

WWE clearly has plans to use this guy as a top star for the NXT brand moving forward, and it's easy to see why. He is charismatic, energetic and brings a different wrestling style than most Superstars.

Samson was on a roll before TakeOver, but his streak may be coming to an end. It's unlikely he will get a win over Nakamura unless WWE has plans to build a feud between the two.

The match between Nakamura and Samson should be a lot of fun, but the thing everyone is most excited about is seeing the recent battle between Samoa Joe and Balor.

There's no point in trying to keep the outcome a secret since WWE announcers have talked about Joe winning the NXT Championship at a live event several times since it happened.

It's rare for a title to change hands at a show where the matches were never meant to be shown on television, but since WWE was clearly filming the contest, this might have been the plan since the start.

Balor and Joe had a brutal encounter at TakeOver: Dallas. The Samoan Submission Machine was busted open in the opening moments, and doctors had to stop the match several times to try to stop the bleeding.

WWE uploaded some footage from the event to YouTube, but Wednesday's episode of NXT will feature the first time fans who did not attend the event will get to see the match in it's entirety.

B/R's own Graham Matthews was in attendance for the event and was one of the first to post the results online. Judging from his response to the match, we should see one of the craziest fan reactions in NXT history.

Commentary will likely be recorded and edited in since live events don't usually feature commentators sitting at a table and calling the action.

It's possible WWE will throw in a few more matches from WrestleMania Axxess, but as of right now, the two you should be looking forward to are Nakamura vs. Samson and Balor vs. Samoa Joe.
