---

#1 EC3 vs Lars Sullivan (NXT)

EC3 & Lars Sullivan will finally face off.

Lars Sullivan viciously attacked EC3 a few weeks ago when he made his return to NXT. Since then he has destroyed everything that has gotten in his way but will face his toughest challenge since his return in EC3. EC3 made his return last week on NXT during Lars Sullivan's scheduled match.

He caused the match to end in a disqualification and chased off Lars Sullivan. EC3 will have the opportunity to get the ultimate revenge when he faces Lars Sullivan this week on NXT.

#2 The Forgotten Sons in action (NXT)

The Forgotten Sons will be in action once again.

Since they have arrived on NXT, Wesley Blake, Steve Cutler, and Jaxson Ryker have destroyed anyone that has been put in their way. They will have another chance to do so when they compete in in-ring action on NXT.

#3 Johnny Gargano vs Tony Nese (NXT)

Johnny Gargano will have his first match since losing to Velveteen Dream on NXT.

Johnny Gargano will have the opportunity to regain some momentum after losing several matches on NXT. He will face off with one of 205 Live's rising stars in Tony Nese.

Tony Nese will have his first match in NXT since competing in the 2016 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic and will hope to assert his dominance on a potential future 205 Live superstar in Johnny Gargano.

#4 Kalisto vs TJP (205 Live)

TJP's feud with the Lucha House Party will continue.

TJP defeated Lince Dorado a week ago after he pulled off his mask. As a result of this distraction, TJP was able to get the win. This week, Kalisto will have the opportunity to gain retribution for his stablemate Lince Dorado when he faces TJP in singles action.

#5 Akira Tozawa vs 'Gentleman' Jack Gallagher (205 Live)

This is a rematch from the Cruiserweight Classic.

Jack Gallagher will hope to get revenge on Akira Tozawa after he briefly injured his tag team partner the Brian Kendrick a few weeks ago. Jack Gallagher, The Brian Kendrick, and Drew Gulak have attacked Akira Tozawa multiple times so there certainly isn't any shortage of animosity in these four individuals.

#6 Mixed Match Challenge: Team B'N'B (Finn Balor & Bayley) vs Team Mahalicia (Jinder Mahal & Alicia Fox)

Mahalicia hopes to not take a second loss in this tournament.

Finn Balor defeated Jinder Mahal (with their respective partners at ringside) last week on Monday Night Raw. They will hope to continue their momentum and get their first victory as a team this Tuesday Night.

Team Mahalicia will hope to make up for their loss against Country Dominance last week on the Mixed Match Challenge and get a victory.

#7 Mixed Match Challenge: Day One Glow (Jimmy Uso & Naomi) vs Ravishing Rusev Day (Rusev & Lana)

This tournament's two married couples will face off.

Jimmy Uso & Naomi will hope to take advantage of the tension between Rusev & Lana (due to Aiden English's word) when they face off this week on the Mixed Match Challenge.

Rusev and Lana will hope to start off their run with a win while Jimmy Uso and Naomi will hope to get back on track after losing to AJ Styles and Charlotte Flair a couple of weeks ago.

#8 Bobby Lashley (with Lio Rush) vs Kevin Owens (with Elias)

These two superstars will face off before the big tag team match at the Super Showdown.

Bobby Lashley has faced off with Elias for the last two weeks on Monday Night Raw. This week, Bobby Lashley will finally get the chance to get revenge on Kevin Owens for his attack several weeks ago on Monday Night Raw.

We will see who gets momentum before the tag team match between John Cena and Bobby Lashley and Kevin Owens and Elias at the Super Show-Down.

#9 Ronda Rousey vs Ruby Riott

Ruby Riott has an opportunity to get a future title shot.

Ronda Rousey and The Bella Twins will face off with the Riott Squad at the Super Show-Down. The Riott Squad interrupted Ronda Rousey's open challenge a couple of weeks ago and attacked her.

The Bella Twins then came to her rescue. If Ruby Riott is able to get the win, she can possibly get a match with Ronda Rousey at Evolution.
