WWE NXT TakeOver 36 will host a match between Karrion Kross and Samoa Joe this Sunday. The two men will collide for the NXT Championship. The Samoan Submission Machine will step into the squared circle after a long absence from the ring.

The two men are set to come face-to-face on NXT before their match at TakeOver 36. The face-off will be electric, to say the least, and give both men a chance to plant each other with a few punches before Sunday night.

Adam Cole and Kyle O’Reilly had a great face-off last week, and Joe and Kross will look to one-up that segment this week.

Meanwhile, Imperium has been one of the greatest factions in WWE and is arguably the toughest team from NXT UK. Who will come out on top in this high-stakes match at TakeOver 36?
