WWE has made several new announcements for tonight's episode of NXT. Following the end of last week's show, Samoa Joe will respond to NXT Champion Karrion Kross tonight. Joe was the special guest referee for last week's Kross vs. Johnny Gargano NXT Championship match. After Kross retained his title, he choked Joe out with the Kross Jacket. Kross made his Raw debut last night and lost to Jeff Hardy. The finish of the match was Hardy pinning Kross while having his feet on the ropes for added leverage. Kross was interviewed after the match and said Hardy just made the biggest mistake of his life.
