JD McDonagh announced for WWE NXT number one contender’s four-way

JD McDonagh has been announced for the number one contender’s match on NXT this week. 

A fatal four way on Tuesday’s show will determine who faces new NXT Champion Carmelo Hayes at Spring Breakin’. McDonagh joins Dragon Lee as the only two confirmed competitors in the match thus far. 

Both McDonagh and Dragon Lee were entered into the five way NXT North American title match at Stand & Deliver. Prior to that, McDonagh’s match with Ilja Dragunov on the March 21 episode was thrown out after Dragon Lee got involved.  

No date has been announced for NXT Spring Breakin’. However, last year’s event took place in early May.

  • Four-way match to determine the number one contender to Carmelo Hayes’ NXT Championship: Dragon Lee vs. JD McDonagh vs. TBA vs. TBA
