It's been announced that Adam Cole will defend his newly-won NXT North American Championship against Oney Lorcan on next week's edition of WWE NXT.

The following comes from WWE.com:

For the first time ever, the NXT North American Title will be defended on WWE Network when champion Adam Cole faces the gritty and gutsy Oney Lorcan this Wednesday.

Following Cole’s incredible performance in the Six-Man Ladder Match to become the inaugural NXT North American Champion at NXT TakeOver: New Orleans, The Panama City Playboy must now prepare for one of the black-and-yellow brand’s most dangerous competitors, the always-game Lorcan. The Boston brawler is renowned for his fearlessness, often taking to social media to call out anybody and everybody he deems a worthy opponent. And as anyone who has witnessed him in the ring knows, Lorcan is always itching for a fight.

Can Lorcan put the brakes on Cole’s journey as champion just as it gets started? Or, will Undisputed Era’s title dominance continue with a successful defense by Cole? Find out this Wednesday at 8/7 C on the award-winning WWE Network.
