The NXT UK wrestler is set to make an appearance on NXT on August 5, his official televised debut for WWE’s black-and-gold brand. Holland said he’s coming after the NXT North American Championship, which currently sits vacant. Holland will compete in a triple threat match against Damian Priest and Oney Lorcan with the winner advancing to a ladder match for the North American title next month at TakeOver 30.

Holland has been with WWE for the last couple of years, competing on NXT live events and occasionally on NXT UK, where he’d typically win. Earlier this year, Holland competed in a battle royal to crown a new No. 1 contender to the NXT UK Championship, which was won by Ilja Dragunov.
In addition, it was announced that NXT Tag Team Champions Imperium (Marcel Barthel & Fabian Aichner) will defend their titles against Undisputed Era’s Bobby Fish & Kyle O’Reilly next week. Also, Rhea Ripley will take on Dakota Kai next week with the winner becoming the No. 1 contender to Io Shirai’s NXT Women’s Championship.
