In an update, WWE has just officially announced Styles for tonight's show and added him to the official preview for tonight.

"AJ Styles is rolling into NXT, and Grayson Waller will be right there waiting for him. Styles will have plenty on his mind after the disintegration of his relationship with Omos last night on Raw. As the bond between the former teammates was falling apart, Waller spent his weekend calling out The Phenomenal One on Twitter. Following the social media cheap shots and developments on Raw, Styles will have plenty of anger to unleash on NXT. Will Waller be ready to shock the NXT Universe with another attack on a beloved Superstar? Find out when it all goes down tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network!," WWE wrote.
