Kushida’s Cruiserweight title defense has been pulled from tonight’s WWE NXT.
Earlier today, NXT General Manager William Regal took to Twitter, where he announced that the scheduled contest between WWE Cruiserweight Champion Kushida and Roderick Strong of Diamond Mine has been scratched from the NXT lineup.
You can view the tweet from Mr. Regal below:
Unfortunately after a medical examination, officials learned @KUSHIDA_0904 is not cleared to compete tonight. When I informed @Malcolmvelli and @roderickstrong, they expressed Roderick’s desire to compete.
Therefore, #WWENXT will begin with a #DiamondMine open challenge.— William Regal (@RealKingRegal) August 17, 2021
