Another Title Match Announced For NXT TakeOver

The fourth title match has been announced for Sunday’s event.

This Sunday is NXT TakeOver 31 live on the WWE Network and we know of now four title matches for the show. The NXT, NXT Women’s, North American, and the Cruiserweight Titles will all be defended at takeOver.

Speaking of the NXT Cruiserweight Title match, that match was announced today. WWE announced that Santos Escobar will defend his title against Isaiah “Swerve” Scott. This will not be the first time that Scott challenges Escobar for the Cruiserweight Title.

Isaiah “Swerve” Scott is the only man to defeat Santos Escobar since Escobar’s arrival in NXT. Can “Swerve” topple the leader of Legado del Fantasma for the third time at NXT TakeOver 31 and become NXT Cruiserweight Champion?

Scott defeated the then-masked Escobar during the NXT Cruiserweight Title Tournament and later pinned him in a Six-Man Street Fight alongside Breezango against Legado del Fantasma.

But when the time came for Scott’s first title opportunity, Escobar headbutted him while wearing what appeared to be a loaded lucha mask to retain his championship.

With the benefit of a second chance, will Scott make the NXT Cruiserweight division “Swerve’s house,” or will Escobar’s reign continue?

Can @swerveconfident dethrone @EscobarWWE at #NXTTakeOver 31? 👀 👇 https://t.co/J1j1ZcQjiO
