It's not clear whether James will stick around or if this is a one-off.

In an interview with WWE.com's Bobby Melok, James promised a tough battle for Asuka: ' I can guarantee it will be the hardest fight she’s ever had in her life.'

This is the kind of matchup for which NXT was designed.ĭillinger, an emerging prospect, is set to face a longtime veteran in what could be his coming-out party.
