5 possibilities for the NXT Triple Threat mystery opponent

Isaiah "Swerve" Scott could be in for a surprising second half of 2020

#4 Isaiah "Swerve" Scott could make NXT "Swerve's House" and the North American Title "Swerve's Title"

Anywhere Isaiah "Swerve" Scott goes is Swerve's House, even NXT. While he didn't exactly have a great start to his career on the Black and Gold brand, falling out of the NXT Breakout Tournament in the opening round, Scott has since pulled out some incredibly impressive wins.

In fact, if it wasn't for Tony Nese, Swerve might be the NXT Cruiserweight Champion right now. Don't worry, they've made up since and are now a tag team. Scott even has a win over Santos Escobar, actually the only pinfall loss the current champion has, so Scott has the ability to back up his talk.

While he's busy working with Tony Nese to quell the invasion of Legado Del Fantasma on 205 Live, he's also an NXT Superstar. In fact, he's 4-1 in his last five matches on the brand, with that one loss belonging to first-ever NXT Grand Slam Champion Johnny Gargano.

It's a battle of one-upsmanship between @iamjakeatlas & @swerveconfident on #WWENXT! pic.twitter.com/0WW8aebO4A

Scott is one of the best and brightest Superstars that NXT, and all of WWE, has to offer. It would be a shame if he wasn't in one of these Triple Threats, and putting him in the match with Kushida and Cameron Grimes just seems like a perfect fit.
