WWE NXT RESULTS AND LIVE BLOG FOR JAN. 31

A force of light an angel, sent through time to destroy. Avenging the dark ones, descending angelic force. Heaven sent the hunter, her mission to crucify, but me? I’m just here to liveblog this here pro wrestling show for you, folks.

The Schism get a promo where they talk about how they’re going to win the qualifier tonight and then win the tag titles at Vengeance Day.

Wes Lee is hanging out backstage and we go to break.

Back from commercial, Apollo Crews cuts a promo about his 2/3 falls match at Vengeance Day and his battle plan to defeat Carmelo Hayes.

Wes Lee makes his entrance and gets on the mic.

He says we’re four days from NXT being back on the road and they’re swinging through Charlotte, North Carolina for Vengeance Day. It’s a big day, literally for him, because Donovan Dijak is his biggest challenge. Dijak claims to be serving justice, but ultimately he just wants the title on Lee’s shoulder.

Saturday will be tough, he’s gonna take an asswhooping, but the Cardiac Kid will rise as your North American Champion.

Enter Donovan Dijak.

He tells Lee to soak it all in and enjoy these moments because these are his final days as NXT North American Champion. It was a real empassioned speech he gave but it’s not gonna make a bit of difference, and he was too stupid to just hand the title over while he could.

So on Saturday he’s gonna be staring at the biggest, baddest man in the entire locker room, and he’s gonna rip the title from his hands. Wes says that’s exactly what he’s gonna have to do, and it’s easier said than done. He didn’t win the title by accident, he fought for it, every trial and tribulation.

When he felt he couldn’t go any further, the support of the fans showed him he could reach levels he never dreamed of, and on Saturday, Dijak won’t just be fighting he’ll, he’ll be fighting everyone on the Wes Side. Donovan says he might be fighting for them, but they damn sure won’t be fighting for him.

Enter Von Wagner, with Robert Stone with him.

Stone says Dijak ain’t the biggest and baddest, because he must have forgotten about Von Wagner. Wagner says the only injustice is the way he’s been overlooked, and Dijak says he has no issue with Von. Lee stirs the pot and says come Tuesday we’ll need a new number one contender and suggests a match between Wagner and Dijak tonight where Von can establish son bonafides.

Donovan shoves Wes aside and starts hammering Wagner with punches! Von runs him off, referees swarm to separate them, and we have a match!

Donovan Dijak vs. Von Wagner

Wagner lands a big fallaway slam and we go to break!

Back from commercial, Dijak gets a nearfall off a lariat. Hammering Wagner with elbows, straight suplex into the turnbuckles, big boot counters a Cyclone Kill but Von can’t put Donovan away! Dijak on the comeback, sitout chokeslam… NOT ENOUGH! Up in the turnbuckles, jockeying for position, Von with underhooks… AVALANCHE BUTTERFLY BODYSLAM FOR TWO!

Up for the Olympic Slam, Dijak slips out, backhammer chinlock, my cable freezes and comes back up on the pin…

Donovan Dijak wins by pinfall.

Backstage, Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo is complaining to Tony D’Angelo about Donovan Dijak.

Tony tells him not to worry and Stacks says he’s taking care of both things and next week it’s on. D’Angelo says they’re gonna go take care of that other thing and they walk off together.

Post-match, Bate offers a handshake and Axiom accepts, but Damon Kemp blindsides them and lays the luchador out with a backbreaker! Tyler runs him off!

Isla Dawn gets a video package inducting Alba Fyre into her house with a magical ceremony in front of a camp fire.

We see Roxanne Perez and her challengers getting mic’d up for an interview and we go to break.

Back from commercial, Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams are interviewed backstage.

Trick says he’s shaking like booty meat on a Friday night, but not because he’s scared, it’s just cold in here. But he is worried about Apollo Crews, and Hayes tells him to come to Vengeance Day anwyay. He says Apollo can’t touch the level he’s on, and until he beats him 2/3 falls, he can never be Him.

Now we go to the satellite interview featuring Roxanne Perez, Gigi Dolin, and Jacy Jayne.

Perez talks about being in the Royal Rumble and Jayne mocks her and says she’s not going to WrestleMania, she’s going to lose her title on Saturday. Roxanne says they act like they’re best friends but they said a lot of truth during their fake split last week, and the Toxics cut her legs out from under her mocking her relentlessly.

They say it’s two against one on Saturday and her fifteen minutes of fame are over. Perez storms off and the Toxics finish the interview and they’re confident that one of them is gonna walk out as champion, although they can’t quite agree on who.

Perez attacks from out of nowhere and they brawl so hard they destroy the set!

Drew Gulak wins by pinfall with a schoolboy pin.

Backstage, Von Wagner is furious and throwing benches around and Robert Stone says this isn’t working.

Stone admits he doesn’t know who Von is and they can’t get him to the next level unless Wagner shows him who he is inside. He yells “Help me help you!” at him a few times and walks off leaving Von contemplative.

The Schism make their entrance to send us to break.
