AWESOME! This is some news I have been waiting for, figured they'd do this but great to hear the confirmation.
So Thursday May 29th - assuming the special takes the place of the episode that would normally air on the 29, that leaves 5 shows between then and now (including tonight). Tonight is the last show from the last set of tapings, so the tapings tonight for the next four shows will really tell us what the card is going to look like. Based on just what we know now we can maybe make a few guesses.
If we assume that some of the feuds from now will still continue to that point, I think we're likely to get Corey Graves vs. Sami Zayn, possibly in a 2/3 falls match to blow off their feud.
[SPOILER AHEAD!!!!!] with the news that on tonight's show Paige will be stripped of the title, I assume we will get a tournament of some kind to crown a new champ, so probably we'll have the finals of that tournament. [END SPOILER]
Neville will have to have a big match obviously, but surely it won't be with Brodus Clay (that would be awful). The tapings tonight should fill us in on what they have in store for him challenger wise, but as has been discussed on other threads, there aren't many options. He just finished his program with Bo, Graves is with Zayn, so that really only leaves Aiden English or Tyler Breeze among regulars. Here's hoping these tapings contain a strong debut from Slate Randall or Solomon Crowe and they end up facing Neville. Although something tells me they would want a more experienced hand in a big show like this.

You can very easily have someone much better than Bo face Neville. Bo is pretty much trash, it's Neville that's the guy doing the work. Put him vs Sami Zayn for instance for 20 minutes and it'll be a MOTY contender.

If that is indeed the case, it would be really cool to see them do something like this with the NXT tag team titles.
The Ascension vs another nxt tag team vs Rollins and Reigns vs Harper and Rowan...
The idea being that you got two NXT teams battling two main roster teams/ former NXT attractions and champions (in the case of Harper and Rowan).
