John Cena, Cody Rhodes, Asuka & Paul Heyman Set For Next Week’s WWE NXT

WWE is loading up next week’s episode of NXT with John Cena, Cody Rhodes and Asuka set to appear. The company announced on tonight’s show that Cena will be in Carmelo Hayes’ corner as Hayes takes on Bron Breakker. In addition, Paul Heyman said that because Cena will be there, Roman Reigns told him to be in Breakker’s corner.

Meanwhile, Asuka will face Roxanne Perez on next week’s episode. If Perez wins, she gets a shot at Kiana James.
