#4 Breezango and Drake Maverick

After dealing a lot of damage to Drake Maverick followed by Jake Atlas over the past few weeks, Santos Escobar appeared on this week’s WWE NXT alongside Raul Mendoza and Joaquin Wilde.

He explained that he would change the perception of Lucha Libre and was all praise for himself before Drake Maverick appeared to interrupt him.

Breezango joined Maverick to even out the odds, as the three babyfaces chased the heels away before Breezango challenged the heels to a match for night two of the NXT Great American Bash.

Breezango get a new feud following their WWE NXT Tag Team Championship match

This was a good segment that allowed the NXT Tag Team Championships hopefuls to get involved in another meaningful feud right away. Even though it would have made more sense to allow Atlas and KUSHIDA to partner up with Maverick, it looks like WWE is giving Breezango some more screen time.

Apart from this segment, other backstage segments helped set up matches for night two of the NXT Great American Bash between Mia Yim and Candice LeRae and a potential rematch between Damian Priest and Cameron Grimes. We could also see Johnny Gargano face off against Isaiah "Swerve" Scott, while the return of Mercedes Martinez to the ring was advertised too.
