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.
