A new match has been added to the lineup for next week’s edition of NXT.

Shawn Spears vs. Josh Briggs is now scheduled for the show. The match was set up in a backstage segment on Tuesday’s episode, but the match wasn’t officially confirmed until Wednesday afternoon.

Spears and Briggs were involved in a brief confrontation backstage at WWE NXT this week. Briggs was speaking about his partner Yoshiki Inamura going back to NOAH and Spears implied he drove his partner away.

This will be Spears’ first singles bout since dropping the North American Championship to Ricky Saints last month. This will be Briggs’ first singles match since appearing on Main Event last December.

Four matches are now confirmed for next week’s show.

WWE NXT lineup for Tuesday, May 20:

  • Joe Hendry concert, Trick Williams rap performance
  • Kelani Jordan vs. Zaria
  • Je’Von Evans vs. Sean Legacy vs. Ashante Adonis
  • Chase U (Uriah Connors and Kale Dixon) vs. OTM (Bronco Nima and Lucien Price)
  • Josh Briggs vs. Shawn Spears
