Sunday night the stars of the WWE main roster will be in the spotlight when SummerSlam airs on the WWE Network, but Saturday night belongs to the stars of NXT. They’ll be showing off their skills at the Barclays Center with the NXT Takeover: Brooklyn III pay-per-view, and it looks like the show could potentially feature a return, as Sawyer Fulton is teasing that he’ll be in the area.

Sawyer suffered an injury back in November of 2016, and after he was cleared he made his return to in ring action at a NXT live event back in April, but he has yet to return to TV.
It should be interesting to see if he appears on television tomorrow night during NXT Takeover: Brooklyn.
The card for this year’s SummerSlam pay-per-view is loaded with big title matches, however, The Miz’s Intercontinental Championship will not be on the line.
Instead The Miz will be teaming up with Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas to take on the team of Jason Jordan and The Hardys. Originally it was rumored that Jason Jordan would be getting an IC Title shot at the pay-per-view, but it looks like plans have changed.
So why isn’t the IC Title being defended at SummerSlam? According to The Miz, it’s Kurt Angle’s fault. The current Intercontinental Champion recently took to Instagram to say that the Raw General Manager is trying to hold him back, and he posted the following:
“I blame @wwe #Raw General Manager @therealkurtangle for the #ICTitle NOT being defended at #Summerslam my goal has always been to make that title the most prestigious, most relevant title in all of sports entertainment. I think he saw I was succeeding at this goal and did what every head has tried to do. HOLD ME BACK. My message to you. Talent will always shine and your son is undeserving to even share the ring in a 6 man tag team match with me. I am Awesome. I proved it for the past 12 years and this will continue when I kick ur sons teeth in while the #Miztourage leaves the Hardys broken on the #Summerslam Kickoff show. More people will be talking about me by the end of that night. See ya Sunday!”
