Here is your post-NXT 2.0 fight size update for Tuesday, June 7, 2022.
- The show began with Carmelo Hayes coming out to celebrate his North American Title victory at In Your House, but he was interrupted by Solo Sikoa who wanted to remind the A-Champ that he is next in line for a title opportunity. Hayes, as well as an interjecting Grayson Waller, however, don't view the deal Sikoa made with Cameron Grimes as still valid. Angered, Sikoa challenged both me to a handicap match later in the night.
Looks like @Carmelo_WWE, @_trickwilliams and @GraysonWWE don't acknowledge @WWESoloSikoa's #NATitle opportunity. #WWENXT pic.twitter.com/faJ8JrYcDo

- In his first match as a member of the D'Angelo family, Santos Escobar was defeated by Nathan Frazer. The defeat came after Santos refused to use a crowbar that was given to him, which in turn caused a distraction that allowed Frazer to capitalize and pick up the win.
