– Tonight’s WWE NXT episode opens up on the USA Network with NXT North American Champion Dominik Mysterio and WWE Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley backstage, trash talking Dragon Lee and Dominik’s father. We cut to the parking lot and see Dragon arriving in a SUV with 2023 WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio. They talk about tonight and Rey wants Dragon to show his son some humility.

– We’re now live from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida as Vic Joseph welcomes us. He’s joined at ringside by WWE Hall of Famer Booker T. The show will have limited commercial breaks tonight.

Mustafa Ali vs. Axiom

We go right to the ring and Axiom is doing his entrance as Alicia Taylor does the introductions. Mustafa Ali is out next.

The match started with quick back & forth offense. They went in and out of the ring early on. At one point Scrypts, Bronco Nima and Lucien Price come walking out to watch the match but they left after five minutes or so.

The match went to the floor as they traded power moves at ringside after Axiom flew out with a big dive. They bring it back in with counters and more high-impact offense. The finish sees Axiom go up to the top. Ali punches him and his finger gets stuck in Axiom’s mask, pausing them both. Ali shoves Axiom to the floor and he lands hard. Ali brings Axiom back in and nails the 450 Splash for the pin to win.

Winner: Mustafa Ali

Davenport controls early on but Jordan turns it around and gets aggressive as Brooke encourages her. Davenport goes out but Jordan follows and brings her back in, but then Davenport turns it around to dominate. Jordan kept fighting until Davenport hit her knee to the face finisher for the pin.

Winner: Blair Davenport

– After the match, Davenport attacks Jordan but Brooke makes the save with a belt. There seems to be brief tension between Jordan and Brooke.

– McKenzie Mitchell is backstage with Von Wagner and Mr. Stone. She asks if Von was affected by what Bron Breakker said last week. Von says people have said things to him his whole life and it does cut deep, but every badass like Bron needs to be put in their place sooner than later. Von says he has somewhere for
