Santos Escobar issues an open challenge; updated WWE NXT preview

Will fans see a surprise return or debut on WWE NXT tonight?

With the black and gold brand officially moving to Tuesdays, Santos Escobar has issued an open challenge to the NXT roster for a match on tonight's show.

The following is an excerpt from WWE.com:

The leader of Legado del Fantasma is clearly riding high after his epic Ladder Match victory over Jordan Devlin at NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver.

But given how Escobar sacrificed his body in the unforgettable yet brutal match, is The Emperor of Lucha Libre making a misstep?

Franky Monet makes her WWE NXT debut tonight

• The fallout from Adam Cole and Kyle O'Reilly's Unsanctioned match from NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver
• The new NXT Women's Champion Raquel Gonzalez will address the WWE Universe
