Also, Layla Diggs will do battle with Lainey Reid this week. Rounding out the card, Tyson Dupont and Tyriek Igwe are back in tag team action against Niko Vance and Harlem Lewis.

From WWE:

An amazing edition of NXT Level Up will feature Malik Blade and Tavion Heights colliding in a must-see main event, Tyson Dupont and Tyriek Igwe seeking a big win against Niko Vance and Harlem Lewis, and Layla Diggs clashing with Lainey Reid.

Blade has captured the imagination of the NXT Universe while teaming with Edris Enofé over the past couple years, but he’s been forced to go it alone in recent weeks due to Brooks Jensen ruthlessly attacking and injuring his tag team partner.

Heights and Myles Borne came up short in a seesaw battle with Je’Von Evans and Cedric Alexander on the Sept. 17 episode of NXT, but the former Olympian is eyeing an important bounce-back win on behalf of No Quarter Catch Crew.

A fun-loving and hard-hitting tandem, Dupont and Igwe have won two of their last three matches on NXT Level Up and are looking to keep rolling against Vance and Lewis, an intriguing rookie tandem.

Lewis was edged by Dante Chen last month on NXT Level Up and will be teaming for the first time with Vance, who was defeated by Luca Crusifino in his WWE debut earlier this month.

Diggs was met with hostility two weeks ago when she attempted to raise the spirits of Reid after Reid was defeated by Adriana Rizzo, and the two up-and-coming Superstars will settle the score one-on-one.

Don’t miss an incredible episode of NXT Level Up, streaming Friday at 10/9 C on Peacock in the United States and on WWE Network everywhere else!
