It was another action-packed week in the world of professional wrestling, and the stars of NXT did not disappoint. From intense matches to surprising storylines, there was something for every wrestling fan to enjoy. Let’s dive into the highlights of the week!
Y.O.U.
The main event of the evening was an absolute showstopper. The match between Roxanne Perez, Blair Davenport, Kiana James, and Gigi Dolin was a must-watch. The women delivered a championship-worthy performance, showcasing their skills and leaving the audience on the edge of their seats.
Roxanne Perez stole the spotlight with her aggression and determination. She showed her newfound aggression by going after Gigi Dolin, demonstrating her desire to reclaim her spot in the wrestling world. While Kiana James emerged as the winner, it was Roxanne who dominated the match with her big moves and moments.
However, the outcome left some fans feeling a bit disappointed. Kiana James will now face Tiffany Stratton for the championship, but there is little emotional investment in this match. Both competitors are heels, making it difficult for fans to root for either woman. It remains to be seen whether this championship match will live up to expectations.
Pain Pressure Paranoia
Carmelo Hayes found himself under immense pressure this week, and it seemed to have taken a toll on him. After his victory over Ilja Dragunov, Melo confronted his best friend Trick Williams, questioning his own ability to defeat Ilja. This moment of self-doubt added an interesting layer to Melo’s character.
Things escalated when Wes Lee challenged Melo to another match, claiming that Wes beat Wes. This statement resonated with Melo, further fueling his insecurities. The storyline between Melo, Trick, and Wes is captivating, and it will be fascinating to see how it unfolds.
Let Da Monkey Out
The steel cage match between the Brothers Creed and the Dyad was a highlight of the evening. Despite the predictable story, the execution of the match was joyous and entertaining. Schism attacked the Creeds during their entrance, leaving Julius Creed to face the Dyad alone.
Julius showcased his impressive power and unique offense, proving that he can hold his own in the ring. However, Brutus Creed made a triumphant return by ripping the cage door off its hinges, allowing the Creeds to secure victory. Ivy Nile rejoined her brothers, while Ava walked away from the Dyad, leaving fans curious about what the future holds for these teams.
Loaded Bases
The ongoing feud between Dijak and Eddy Thorpe took an interesting turn this week. The match showcased their toughness and fighting spirit, but it was Dijak who resorted to cheating by using a loaded fist. This rivalry is far from over, and it will be exciting to see how these two wrestlers continue to clash in the future.
