NXT Champion Aleister Black will defend his title against Tommaso Ciampa in three weeks on NXT. The match will be taped at the July 18th Full Sail TV tapings. Ciampa hyped the match on Twitter while taking some shots at Black, writing; "I'm annoyed that NXT is represented by an out of shape boy with zero personality who is covered in ink that screams, 'I'm desperately overcompensating for my lack of confidence'"
