IYO SKY and Chad Gable are heading back to NXT for two live events later this month.
WWE confirmed during the September 8 episode of NXT that the Raw stars will appear in Columbia, South Carolina, on September 26 and Greensboro, North Carolina, on September 27.
The appearances add to a busy schedule for both names, with championship opportunities and familiar opponents keeping them occupied on Monday nights.
Gable, the reigning Intercontinental Champion, is scheduled to defend his title against Dragon Lee on an upcoming Raw broadcast from Mexico City.
Dragon Lee secured that opportunity by defeating Ethan Page in a number one contender’s match on August 31. Gable had initially chosen Lee as his challenger after Raw General Manager Adam Pearce allowed him to select an opponent, but Page’s objections led to the qualifying match.
Gable also has a singles clash with former Alpha Academy teammate Otis on the horizon.
Meanwhile, SKY is pursuing the Women’s Intercontinental Championship. She has reached the semifinals of the tournament and will face Lyra Valkyria as she looks to move one step closer to the gold.
Both stars remain part of Raw, with the NXT appearances giving fans in Columbia and Greensboro an opportunity to see them at the brand’s live events. Opponents for those shows were not included in the announcement.
