Tavion Heights emerged victorious in a clash against Ikemen Jiro in a recent NXT Level Up event. The match showcased the stark contrast in styles between the two Superstars.
Jiro, known for his lighthearted and entertaining persona, attempted to get under Heights’ skin right from the start. He kicked off the match with a handstand on the top turnbuckle followed by a cartwheel. Jiro also made sure to flaunt his pink-and-white jacket, using it to land several stinging Jacket Punches.
Despite the frustration caused by Jiro’s antics, Heights remained focused on his game plan. He dodged a top-rope senton, delivered a vicious clothesline, and sealed the victory with a nasty overhead suplex.
In another thrilling matchup, Fallon Henley triumphed over Karmen Petrovic. Henley, who had previously won six consecutive matches on WWE’s newest brand, was full of energy as she stepped into the ring.
Petrovic, a deadly rookie with a background in karate, made it clear that she would do whatever it takes to secure her first WWE victory. She talked smack early on and landed a menacing forearm to the lower back to gain the upper hand.
However, Henley, known as “NXT’s Resident Cowgirl,” quickly turned the tide. She unleashed a series of clotheslines, a modified bulldog, and a decisive Shining Wizard. Henley celebrated her victory in the entranceway alongside Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen.
Joe Coffey continued his winning streak in the Group B Heritage Invitational Match by defeating Akira Tozawa. Coffey had previously earned two points by defeating Nathan Frazer in his first match of the tournament.
Tozawa, who had suffered a defeat in his opening bout against Duke Hudson, fought with frenzied desperation. He staggered Coffey with a knee to the face and launched himself through the ropes with a tope to wipe out Coffey at ringside.
Nevertheless, Coffey proved to be relentless. He retaliated with a double underhook suplex from the top rope and All the Best for the Bells, securing his second victory in the tournament and maintaining his strong position in the standings.
