The Global Heritage Invitational continues to deliver exciting matches and surprising outcomes. In this week’s edition of NXT LVL Up, we witnessed some intense tag team action and a Group A match that had everyone on the edge of their seats. Let’s dive into the highlights.
In the opening match, Jakara Jackson and Lash Legend faced off against Dani Palmer and Tatum Paxley. The presence of the rest of Meta Four added an extra layer of intrigue to the match. The action started with Legend powering Palmer up against the ropes, but Palmer quickly fought back with a waistlock into a sleeper. Jackson entered the ring, and after a brief exchange, she delivered a powerful slap to Paxley. Despite the attack, Paxley remained unfazed. However, a distraction from Meta Four allowed Jackson to capitalize and secure the victory with a wheelbarrow faceplant/cutter combination on Palmer. Jackson and Legend proved to be a formidable duo, showcasing their dominance in the ring.
In the next match, Tyriek Igwe and Tyson DuPont took on Bronco Nima and Lucien Price. Scrypts accompanied Nima and Price to the ring, adding an element of unpredictability to the bout. The match started with a battle for power control between DuPont and Nima. Igwe soon entered the fray, focusing his attacks on Nima’s arm. However, Nima and Price managed to turn the tide and isolate Igwe. Nima’s running crotch attack to the back of Igwe in the ropes demonstrated their ruthless strategy. Despite a valiant effort from DuPont, Nima and Price emerged victorious with an assisted Alabama Slam on Igwe. The teamwork displayed by Nima and Price proved to be the deciding factor in this hard-fought contest.
The highlight of the night was undoubtedly the Group A match between Tyler Bate and Charlie Dempsey. Both competitors showcased their technical prowess and resilience throughout the match. The bout began with a back-and-forth struggle for arm control, with Dempsey eventually taking Bate to the mat. Bate fought back, executing a monkey flip and impressing the audience with his agility. The match intensified as both competitors traded blows and near-falls. In the end, Bate secured the victory with a well-timed rollup, further solidifying his position in Group A.
With this win, Bate now stands at 2-0-0, with four points and one match remaining. Butch holds a record of 1-0-1, with three points and one match remaining. Axiom currently sits at 0-1-1, with one point and one match remaining. Meanwhile, Dempsey remains at the bottom of the group with a record of 0-2-0 and zero points.
As the Global Heritage Invitational continues, the competition in Group A heats up. With only one match remaining for each competitor, the stakes are higher than ever. Who will emerge victorious and secure their spot in the next stage of the tournament? Only time will tell.
