PLAY BY PLAY
The General Managers have a meeting in the WWE Draft War Room.
Ava Raine ins with Adam Pearce in person and Nick Aldis via video chat. They wrap up and Ava thanks them for being here. This is a big night for NXT as Spring Breakin’ is now two weeks, and it is also the NXT before the Draft. Aldis says congrats on the fine job she’s doing here. NXT has a deep pool of talent. To keep it 100, he’s got his eyes on quite a few NXT talents. Pearce says Aldis isn’t lying, the NXT Women’s Division is incredible, and the world would love to see them on Mondays. Aldis will be watching Dragunov VS Trick very closely. Ava agrees, and they will be changing the lives of numerous superstars, so everyone is going to be on their A Game.
But after this week, it won’t be about who goes to Raw or SmackDown but about who steps up to take their place. So one way or another, NXT will never be the same after tonight. All the GMs are in agreement there, but just what will the landscape look like after tonight’s main event?
NXT Women’s Championship Triple Threat: Roxanne Perez VS Lyra Valkyria VS Tatum Paxley!
Speaking of that landscape, The Prodigy is back on top of the Women’s Division, for now. She thought she could just slip away while The Morrigan and the twisted Tatum fought it out, but Ava wasn’t going to let her have it so easy. The odds have drastic gone down for Roxie, will she be able to survive? Or will there be a new champion crowned to start off the night?

Fallon Henley, Kelani Jordan & Thea Hail talk backstage.
Fallon asks if Thea and Mr. Chase got everything sorted. Yes, thank goodness. But it was so rude for Jacy Jayne to put him on the spot like that. But Thea will handle Jacy next week, and that Chase U is all on the same page. And she’s thankful to have so many amazing people around her. From Fallon to Kelani to Mr. Chase to Riley and Duke. Kelani says they’ve got her. Thea says so many wonderful people make her better! Jaida Parker cannot take hearing this anymore. Fallon Henley, NXT’s hero! The most popular loner she has ever seen. Fallon should worry about herself and not give her opinion on everyone else’s life.
Fallon asks if Jaida has a problem. They can, so what’s up? Fallon is the one sick and tired of- Jaida don’t care, and she pushes Fallon. Fallon pushes back, and the rest of the locker room rushes in to stop this from getting physical! Will the Cowgirl have to show Ms. Parker that she should take her own advice about keeping to herself?
A new duo is ready to Level Up!
“What it do, NXT? It’s ya boi, Tyson Dupont, baby! He’s the BRICK!” “And I’m Tyriek Igwe. Ya bois in the building!” Next week, they debut in front of the world. They’re so strong yet so smooth, ready to go pound for pound with anybody or any team. Any team that steps to them end up under these Timberlands. When these boots start stomping and bodies start flying, grown men start crying! See y’all next week.

Kelly Kincaid is with Ivy Nile & The Creed Brothers and welcomes them back. Brutus says they wouldn’t miss this for the world! Dragunov VS Trick, one of the biggest title matches in NXT history! Ivy remembers when the Creeds were chasing the NXT Tag Team Championships. And now, Trick’s on a chase of his own. Julius says it feels like it was yesterday. But the moment Trick’s picked up is truly remarkable. They saw from day one how Trick’s worked hard and bet on himself. Julius says Trick will slay the dragon.

WWE shares a digital exclusive.
Baron Corbin was in the middle of a photoshoot in relation to the loss of the NXT Tag Team Championships. Did he know what Bron Breakker was going to say post match? No, not at all. Corbin never knows what Bron is gonna say before the match, during the moment, and we’re lucky if any of it makes sense. But then in walks Lexis King. He says it’s okay, keep the cameras rolling, this is a great moment. From a “True King” to a “pretender,” Lexis heard Corbin was leaving NXT so here’s a going away basket. Oh, wonder who put this together, with the big picture of Lexis himself in it. And the card just says, “Goodbye.”
Okay, look, Lexis is hearing people who hope Corbin is leaving. Yeah, well, Bron is on SmackDown, having the time of his life, not worried about Corbin at all. But let’s face it, Corbin will strap his wagon onto the next second generation superstar that will be bigger, better and more handsome than anyone else. And come to think of it, King accepts! And you’re welcome. King heads out, Corbin says what he does know is, Lexis is a tool and no way that beard is real. Will the Lone Wolf make sure to humble the Drama King and make him wish Corbin was leaving?
Fallon Henley VS Jaida Parker w/ OTM!
That confrontation backstage has everybody fired up, so it’s time to take it to the ring! Will it be #YEEHAWB*TCH tonight? Or will Miss Parker make this all about herself ahead of both the WWE Draft and the Women’s North American Championship chase?

OTM celebrates with their girl, and Miss Parker blows a kiss to the camera. Will she be the one to grab that Women’s North American Championship?
Jacy Jayne & Jazmyn Nyx speak.
The Toxic Element speaks first: “Ungrateful. That’s what I think of when I hear the name Thea Hail. I gave you a free road to success, a one way ticket to the hottest attraction in NXT. I even stood behind you in hopes that one day, you would realize that Jacy Jayne always knows best. But Thea, did you fall and smack your little head on the pavement? Or maybe I missed the part where you said ‘Thank you.’ Everything that I’ve done for you. I took you under my wing, I made you into everything that you wanted to be. You should be kissing the ground I walk on, begging for my wisdom on your hands and knees.
“But instead, all you did was show that you’re an ungrateful little girl. So next week at Spring Breakin’ week 2, I’m gonna end you. And Thea, you’re gonna learn that gratitude is not an option, but a debt that you will repay to me.” Jacy thinks Thea will see the truth, but will next week be a #TeachableMoment for Jacy?
Lola Vice speaks.
“Being a legend gives Natalya confidence, and rightfully so. But that confidence will be her downfall. If she’s confident enough to think she can handle being overseas on a rigorous touring schedule, and then waltz back into NXT, into my domain… she better think again. Natalya, come NXT Underground, you’re entering my world.” Natty wants Lola to show her what she’s made of, but while Natty is out there being a legend, Lola is becoming one at Natty’s expense. The contract signing is tonight, will there be fireworks before the fight?
Backstage interview with JD McDonagh.
Kelly Kincaid is with the Irish Ace as he’s also here to watch Dragunov VS Trick. What are his predictions? Well, he and Dragunov have history, one of the greatest rivalries in NXT. He thinks he can speak with more experience than most that the only way to beat Dragunov is to hospitalize him. And as someone who’s done both, he doesn’t think Trick Williams is up to it. Dragunov retains. But then in come the New Catch Republic! Tyler Bate more or less drags Pete Dunne along, he’s that excited about Dragunov VS Trick! Those boys are gonna smash the spuds outta each other! It’s happening, Pete! It’s happening!
Pete says his money’s on Dragunov. That’s a bad man right there. He’s absolutely solid. Bate says Trick’s always bounced back, though, so he’s got the tekkers. #WhoopDatTrick! The Big Strong Boi and the Bruiserweight are torn, who will be backing the right horse in the race?
Ava Raine is in the ring.
And fitting of NXT Underground, the ropes are gone and there are prospects all lining the ring, drumming the apron. Ava says as NXT GM, one of the most important parts of her job is continuing to push this brand into a new era, and breaking glass ceilings. That is why she is honored to host the contract signing for the first ever Women’s Underground match! At this time, let’s bring out the competitors. First, with her corner-person Karmen Petrovic, Natalya! The fans cheer as the Queen of Harts has her Canadian Connection with her as she goes to the ring. They take their seats on one side of the podium, and then Natty signs on the dotted line.
The fans cheer as Natty says she loves the NXT fans. Her part is done, so now we welcome out her opponent, Lola Vice. Fans are torn as the Mayor of Vice City struts her way out. Lola signs her part, and it is officially in the books! History: made! But then Natty says Lola sealed the deal, so who does she have in her corner? Lola says in Spanish that Natty is so stupid. Natty is more worried about who is in her corner than what Lola’s gonna do to her? But Lola will make something clear: just because she shakes her ass doesn’t mean she can’t kick your ass! And next week, they’re making history. And next week, Lola WILL break Natty.
The fans appreciate the Rocky 4 line, but Natty tells Lola that from the first moment they met, Natty knew Lola had an ego that needs to be kept in check. But one thing about Natty is that she respects Lola where she came from, how Lola was fighting in the cage. But it seems Lola doesn’t respect Natty was made in a dungeon! And if you can survive the dungeon, you can survive anything! Natty respects the superstars of the past, of the present, but if Lola wants to be the future, then Natty’s gonna beat some respect into her! The fans like that, too! “She’s The Boat! She’s The Boat!” Natty says next week, she wants Lola to bring everything she’s got, because Natty will tap dat ass out!
Lola just smiles as she says Natty can try. But when the lights dim, Natty’s fate is in Lola’s hands. The fastest hands in this division. And Lola’s training partner will make them even faster. Because it’s SHAYNA BASZLER!! The Queen of Spades is the ace up Lola’s sleeve, and even Natty knows this is going to be a hard hand to beat. Shayna stands beside Lola, fans chant “Welcome Back! Welcome Back!” Shayna tells Natty that she’s smart enough to tell that her chances just went from slim to none. When it comes to fighting around here, the most dangerous woman in NXT is aligned with the baddest woman in the WWE.
So Natty, there is still time to bow out gracefully. Just take the contract and tear it up. Especially if uh, this is her partner., Shayna shoves Karmen, so Karmen ROUNDHOUSEES Shayna! And the brawl is on between Natty and Lola! The fans are thunderous as natty TOSSES Lola onto the prospects! The ante has just been raised in this match, who makes the other fold in the Underground?
NXT Media catches up with Ridge Holland.
They ask Yorkshire Grit how he feels after his return victory. It was a start. It’s been a rough few months, but Ridge wants to rack up victories and show he can earn success the right way. But then Shawn Spears applauds as he walks over. “Bravo, Ridge. For a second, it actually looked like you believe everything you were just saying.” Ridge tells Spears to leave him alone. Spears says maybe Ridge is finally seeing what he’s capable of. And that he likes it! Why not embrace it then? They both know what Ridge wants to do to Spears right now, so why not do it? Give in to those thoughts. Or better yet, let them out.
Ridge chuckles and says he knows what Spears is up to. He can’t rile Ridge up. See you around. Ridge leaves, but will Spears still pull out the “truth?”
The Final Testament speaks.
Karrion Kross says, “Good evening. This is your former two-time NXT Champion just letting you know we’re about to take you back to the good old days. Where we left everyone beaten and broken. And if you don’t have an army behind you or a little miracle in your pocket, you’re going eight miles out, and six feet under.” Paul Ellering says the Authors of Pain, Akam & Rezar, have a clear destiny. They’re coming for all the gold! And that will be their dynasty. They will bring destruction back to NXT! Nathan Frazer, Axiom, prepare for the end. Scarlett says, “So saith the Final Testament.” Will NXT have no choice but to Fall & Pray?
The locker room responds.
Axiom says, “Bringing back the good old days? Destruction? These guys coming in and ruining our championship celebration…!” Frazer says yeah, they’re monsters. But he could care less! Axiom says somehow, someway, they will beat the Authors of Pain! Malik Blade says yeah, screw AOP! Hank ‘n’ Tank and the others agree. Why’re all these RawDown teams coming in here, demanding opportunities? The rest of NXT can’t even catch a break. The Good Brothers step in and say yeah! They’re so sick of all these other teams coming in here, trying to take those titles! After all, this is NXT! Edris Enofe says no one else is saying it, so he will.
The Good Brothers- OOPS! He just dropped his mirror! And it broke… That’s bad luck, isn’t it? Was Edris about to say something. No… The Good Brothers leave, has Edris just jinxed himself and all of the NXT Tag Division?
Beach Brawl: Sol Ruca VS Blair Davenport!
NXT Underground isn’t the only place where there are no rules! The Sol Surfer and the Ichiban Gaijin are throwing the rules away so they can finally get even with each other once and for all! Will Sol get snatched? Or will it be Blair who has to beware the consequences of her actions?
NXT returns and Sol makes her entrance, bringing her own surfboard to beat down Blair! Blair already has one of her own, thanks! Blair swings, but Sol dodges to SMACK Blair! The bell rings, Sol puts her board aside, only for Blair to SMACK her with the boogie board! Blair shoves the surfboard aside, goes up the steps, and leaps, into a boogie board SMACK! Sol pushes Blair into the ring, grabs some sports balls, and gets in the ring with her. Blair chucks a beach ball but Sol swats it! Sol then DECKS Blair, then she puts an innertube around her! Sol BOPS Blair with footballs and dodgeballs, then whips and CLOBBERS her!
Blair flounders out of the ring, Sol pursues, and she SMACKS Blair off the apron! Blair hits back, avoids Sol’s boot, but Sol does the splits on the apron to dodge back! Sol BOOTS Blair down and then goes to the picnic table. Sol grabs the bench seat, props it up against the apron, and then she brings Blair up. But Blair whips Sol into the bench! The bench doesn’t break but Sol still feels the pain. Blair drags Sol up but Blair fights the suplex! Sol fights free to ROCK Blair! Blair knees low, then POSTS Sol! Blair drags Sol back up, brings her back around, and SMACKS her off the apron! Blair fires forearm after forearm, then goes looking for goodies.
Blair SPIKES a beach ball on Sol’s head! Sol SMACKS Blair with the boogie board! Blair CHOPS Sol, shoves her into steps, then goes looking under the ring. Sol brings out a chair! But Sol blocks the chair shot! Sol kicks low, then runs up, to handspring through the toss! X-FACTOR into the kiddy pool ball pit! Sol shoves the surfboard down onto Blair, then stomps on it! Sol hangs ten on Blair and the fans cheer as she DOUBLE STOMPS! Blair sputters while NXT goes picture in picture.
Sol throws down balls on Blair, SPIKES a beach ball on her now, then drags her out of the pool. Sol puts Blair in the ring, climbs the corner, and CARTWHEEL- NO, Blair avoids the DDT to kick low!

Trick Williams is on the phone.
“What’d the doctors say?” That she’s getting better. Trick tells Mama Williams that he’s fighting tonight, so she needs to fight. Well then she needs him to #WhoopDatTrick. Trick says, “I love you, Mama.” “I love you, too.” Trick hangs up the phone, and then in steps Johnny Wrestling! Gargano says hey, big night! How’s he feeling? Trick knows this is his last chance. His career’s on the line, but he loves this place. Gargano knows that feeling. And it’s a man Trick hasn’t beat before. he thought the pressure was on at Stand & Deliver, or last week in the cage. But tonight, this is pressure. Gargano says no pressure, no diamonds.
Trick’s lost to Dragunov before, but he needs to take all that loss, that pain, that betrayal and use it. It is not a burden, it is a weapon. It is what made Trick stronger. It has built Trick for this moment! It has made Trick who he is, there is only one Trick Williams! And Dragunov has not beaten that Trick Williams. When Gargano won the NXT Championship, it changed his life. But he had to give everything to do it. Is Trick willing to do that? Is he willing to give that much to slay the Mad Dragon and win the NXT Championship? He is. Then #WhoopDatTrick! Gargano says it is Trick’s night, but will Trick get it done?
Meta Four posts to TikTok.
Via Jakara Jackson’s account, she, Lash Legend, Noam Dar & Oro Mensah have the fans join them on the road trip to the NXT Orlando live event. They had some car troubles, though, but the ladies got it done. Then Lash plays the “Oh no, crash!” prank on them all while they were napping. And that was just the first ten minutes!
Baron Corbin VS Lexis King!
The Wolf Dogs may no longer be NXT Tag Team Champions, but that doesn’t mean The Lone Wolf sulks and returns to RawDown with tail tucked between his legs. Will he prove to the Drama King that Corbin does what he wants? Or will defeating a former King of the Ring be Lexis’ crowning achievement?

NXT Championship, Trick’s Last Chance: Ilja Dragunov VS Trick Williams!
After an absolute saga spanning multiple matches, many twists and turns, and both men managing to Stand & Deliver in Philadelphia, it all ends here. Either Trick slays the Mad Dragon, or he leaves NXT forever. Something’s gotta give, who comes away THE NXT Champion?
Before his entrance, Dragunov is interviewed by Sarah. We are moments away from the main event, what are his thoughts? Trick has gained Dragunov’s respect. But all Dragunov has in this life are his family, and this title. And Trick’s not going to change that. Dragunov is forever #UNBESIEGBAR. But then in steps WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Damian Priest!! From champ to champ, the Punisher wishes Dragunov luck. Dragunov goes to gorilla, and Priest asks Sarah how she doin’. We cut to Byron Saxton with Trick Williams. Byron asks Trick for any final thoughts before the biggest match of his career.
Trick says we all know what this is: Either Trick wins tonight, or he leaves NXT. Either he is the champion, or he’s a bust. Either he proves himself right or proves himself wrong, but either way he’s gonna fight! If there’s one thing you need to know about Trick, it’s that he fears no man. He can live with the results, whether he wins or he loses. But like Mama Williams said, time to #WhoopDatTrick. The challenger makes his entrance first, but will it be his last?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and it all comes down to this!
The bell rings and the fans are fired up as Trick rushes in! Dragunov dodges, waistlocks, and GERMAN SUPLEXES! Dragunov CLUBS away on Trick, then drags him up.

Winner: Trick Williams, by pinfall (NEW NXT Champion)
The arena is shaking all the way to the rafters, the fans are that elated that Trick slayed the Mad Dragon! Dragunov grabs the belt from the ref, gives it one last look, and then personally hands it over to Trick! They hug it out, Dragunov so proud of Trick in this moment! What will be next for The Czar now that he is no longer champion?
As for Trick, he raises the belt in victory, then goes out to the crowd to celebrate with the NXT Universe that never gave up on him! It is a new era in NXT, that’s all it is, and that’s all it’s gone be!
My Thoughts:
An awesome NXT to start Spring Breakin’ and to lead into the WWE Draft. Great opening Triple Threat, one of the better ones I’ve seen here in NXT. Roxie got a great win out of it, and maybe she’s staying on NXT a little longer. The Draft might take Lyra away, and then we can get a 1v1 story for Roxie and Tatum going towards Battleground in June. At the same time, lots of other great developments as we draw closer to the NXT Women’s North American Championship. Good promo from Fallon, Thea, Kelani and Jaida that then gave us a really good match from Fallon VS Jaida. And then good promo from Jacy, though it repeated some things she’s said before. Jacy VS Thea is going to be great stuff, and while Thea’s team won at Stand & Deliver, maybe Jacy wins this 1v1 match.
The Beach Brawl being a themed Street Fight, it was of course a bit on the goofy side with the beach balls and kiddy pool, but Sol and Blair got to do some great stuff with chairs and tables. Great win for Sol, she might be a Face frontrunner for the Women’s NA title. And great contract signing segment tonight, great twist that Shayna is going to be Lola’s trainer and corner-person. It already felt like Lola was going to win out, but between Shayna on her side and Natty standing tall tonight, it’s very clear Lola will win, which would make her a Heel frontrunner for the Women’s NA title. And hopefully it’s a tournament that leads the way into Battleground, especially now that it’s in Vegas and in the UFC Apex, a fitting venue for Lola to walk in as the favorite.
Good promo from Final Testament, and really good promo from everyone else in the NXT Tag Division. I laughed at Good Brothers pulling the “Yes, we’re NXT, too!” And good bit of Edris breaking the mirror and now putting bad juju on him, Malik and maybe everyone Final Testament is going to face. Hard to say if Axiom & Frazer survive AOP, and I’d actually prefer if Kross tries going after Oba Femi instead of the top title. Good promo from Corbin and King to set up their match, and good win for King. A real shame that Von Wagner was among the handful of releases we just got this week, he didn’t get to finish his story with King and Robert Stone loses his third(?) stable.
Really good Six Man Tag and a great win for The D’Angelo Family. Tony VS Dempsey for the Cup is going to be great stuff, and surely Luca & Stacks help Tony out the way Kemp & Myles will help Dempsey, so it’ll be about who is the savvier team. We got a great amount of “callbacks” from RawDown, and with Gargano giving Trick that last little pep talk, that was like one last foreshadowing that Trick was winning. This has been a long time coming, and it’s rather wild that it happens here, on TV, rather than at a Premium Live Event. It might be the timing because of how they’re doing the Draft, so that Dragunov gets his call-up via Pearce or Aldis picking him, Melo goes fulltime to SmackDown, and Trick starts a clean slate going into the Summer.
My Score: 9/10

Jon Moxley & PAC w/ The Death Riders VS Orange Cassidy & Jay White!
It was last Saturday that the AEW World Champion and his band of rogues almost poisoned Freshly Squeezed, if not for FTR saving him. And it was last Wednesday that Pac & Wheeler Yuta almost got one over on The Switchblade, if not for Jay White’s top tier toughness. But will tonight be the night The Maniac & The Bastard destroy their enemies once and for all? Or will unlikely allies be able to win another battle in this war for AEW’s soul?
The teams sort out and while fans cheer on Cassidy, White works to convince him that White should start. Cassidy isn’t so sure, but then he warns White! White turns around and he DECKS Pac first!

PLAY BY PLAY
Giulia is here!
The Beautiful Madness, the 2024 Miss Iron Survivor, returns to Orlando and the fans cheer her on. Giulia grabs the mic to say, “I am the IRON SURVIVOR!” The fans cheer more, and Giulia says that all means she will do what she came here to do. Roxanne Perez, New Year’s Evil in LA, the Beautiful Madness will become NXT Women’s Champion! But speaking of, Roxie interrupts! She congratulates Giulia and says she’s lucky for surviving Deadline. But in Roxie’s opinion. Sol Ruca was the MVP. And Wren Sinclair spent a lot of time in the penalty box, yet she still got a score. Zaria and Stephanie didn’t lose, they just ran out of time.
Roxie says Giulia won, but unfortunately, she’s just not on Roxie’s level. But Roxie will give it to them all. Those five proved why NXT has the best women’s division in ALL of wrestling. But like Roxie said, none of them are on her level! And none of that changes, even at New Year’s Evil. Because in case Giulia forgot, they’ve been here before. Roxie VS Giulia happened! And it was the same result then as it has this past year: Roxie holding her title over her head, reigning over her division. And at New Year’s Evil, new town, same result: Giulia falling short to The Prodigy. That is, if she makes it there.
Oh? Then how about they just do it right now? Giulia steps up, but here comes Cora Jade with a kendo stick. Cora agrees with Roxie, Giulia isn’t making it to New Year’s Evil. And Giulia may think her bestie, Stephanie, will come and save her, but she can’t, and she won’t. There is no question about who did it this time! Cora cues the tron and Vaquer is down in the back! Cora & Roxie grin as they surround Giulia, but Giulia DECKS Roxie! But then the kendo stick SMACKS Giulia in the side! The fans boo but wait! Here comes Kelani Jordan! The Standout slides in and TACKLES Cora! The fans fire up as Kelani dribbles Cora!
Cora & Roxie get away from Giulia & Kelani! Will Kelani make sure it’s Cora & Roxie who don’t make it to LA?
Other NXT superstars react to Ethan Page’s Deadline reaction.
All Ego said that after losing the Iron Survivor, he had no path back to the top. Tony D’Angelo & the family walk in and find Ethan himself. Ethan, c’mon, you’re killing the vibe of the room! So you lost, get over it! Get over it? Tony, Ethan doesn’t know how to get back into the NXT Championship picture. Sure, yeah, he blew it. Tony can’t even believe he’s saying this, but he has a soft spot for Ethan. How about an NXT North American Championship match? Ethan says he’s a former NXT Champion. When he was, he carried this brand on its back and turned it into NX-ME. So no offense, but Ethan’s above the North American title.
Wow, okay. Tony tries to be a nice guy, extend an olive branch, because he sees Ethan sulking in the corner. If he doesn’t want it, then he’ll open it up to the roster. Everyone else rushes over but Ethan says hold on, hold on! Ethan is reconsidering. No, no, Ethan, Tony gets it, he doesn’t want Ethan to be “stepping down” a level. It’s not, it’s not! If Ethan can’t beat the North American Champion, then his career… His career really is over. Oh, right, okay. NO, HE NEEDS THIS! Ethan calms down, and says he needs this. Well, that’s all he had to say! Tony will see Ethan out there.
The Don and his boys head out, the rest of the room is bummed. But will Ethan be able to take that title and revitalize his NXT career?
Lexis King talks with Charlie Dempsey.
The King speaks on his “soul searching” in Minneapolis, and he found he is a man of integrity, and that his wrestling has been top notch. So to cut to the point, Lexis wants one more shot at the Heritage Cup. Well of course he does. But Dempsey’s already given him a shot. So he’ll think on it. That’s all The King is asking for. Dempsey and King head out, and the No Quarter Catch Crew walks in. Dempsey tells Wren, Myles & Tavion that he is proud of them and that is an understatement. Myles & Tavion were this close to taking the NXT Tag Team Championships off the best team in this place.
And Wren showed the world she belongs at the top. Wren says he has no idea how much that means to her. But in steps OTM, and Bronco Nima says they told the NQCC they weren’t getting those belts. Price says they can’t hang with the big dogs. Wren says they were rally close! Jaida Parker says the only words that should be coming out of Wren’s mouth are, “Thank you, Miss Parker.” Because if Jaida hadn’t ducked that backhand during the Fatal 4, then Wren would never have fallen into the win. Oh, but then if Jaida hadn’t ducked, she would’ve gotten knocked out and lost. Jaida says she’ll knock Wren out here now!
NQCC and OTM argue as NXT is getting heated for the holidays. Will Jaida and her boys prove they’re worthy? Or will they get no quarter from the crew?
Je’Von Evans VS Wes Lee!
Two other men who lost in the Iron Survivor Challenge had their own disagreement about how to feel. The Young OG stayed positive, but the cutthroat Cardiac Kid is trying to bring him down. Will things stay bouncy~ in NXT? Or will Wes’s bitterness get to Je’Von?

BREAKING NEWS!
Given the confrontation that happened earlier tonight, we are getting a BIG main event tag match! Cora & Roxie VS Kelani & Giulia! Will the mean girls of NXT pay for what they did?
Nathan Frazer & Axiom meet up backstage.
Frazer is still banged up, using some coffee to wake up. Axiom says Frazer was so close. He could’ve gotten just one more pin and become Iron Survivor. Frazer says look on the bright side: They still have the tag titles, don’t they? That they do. Frazer coughs a bit from sore ribs, but Axiom wants to apologize. Axiom was worried about Frazer competing twice in one night, but somehow, he did it. Frazer got his nose smashed to pieces, but it didn’t matter, he still walked out there with Axiom and defended the titles. Frazer admits, Axiom carried them. Frazer could barely breathe, but without Axiom, they wouldn’t be champions. Frazer owes him.
Axiom’s performance? No, Frazer was amazing! Frazer really deserves to be both tag champion and Iron Survivor. Yeah, well, Oba Femi kinda screwed that up. Man, he wasn’t even originally in that match! Wow, Axiom’s really mad at Oba, huh? Well of course! Axiom wanted Frazer to succeed. They’re tag team partners. Axiom would do anything for him. Frazer says no, he has to make this right. They each want to make up for something, and they both head out. Just what will each half of Fraxiom do in the wake of Deadline?
Josh Briggs speaks.
“This past summer, I fought in the Pro-Wrestling Noah N1 Victory tournament in Japan. The Japanese wrestling style is different. It’s tough, it’s gritty, it feels like it was made for me. And in the two months I was there, one wrestler impressed me. It was Inamura.” Inamura himself says his first impression was that Briggs fit Japanese Strong Style. He has a fighting spirit like WWE Hall of Famer, Stan Hansen. In the ring, when Brigs gets in the zone, he has that crazy side, which Inamura likes. These two clicked because they’re “grown ass men.” Inamura was raised in a different culture, so there isn’t the immaturity Briggs dealt with before.
Briggs & Inamura may have a language barrier in the way, but with this opportunity, Inamura knew he and Briggs could do damage in the NXT Tag Team Division. Briggs didn’t want to be back in a tag team, but he saw how Inamura trained. Ava Raine wants more out of this division, but there won’t be a division after Briggs & Inamura get through with it. Inamura loves competition, the fight, the struggle. He and “Josh-san” are ready to create chaos in NXT!
Sarah Schreiber is stationed outside NXT Medical.
She’s hoping for some updates on Stephanie Vaquer, and out walk Kelani & Giulia. Giulia rants in Japanese, clearly mad with Cora & Roxie. Kelani gets the gist and says what goes around comes around. Stephanie is banged up, but she’ll be okay. And honestly, Kelani is just sick and tired of Cora & Roxie walking around like they run NXT. Because let’s be real, Cora & Roxie couldn’t run a lemonade stand in a desert! And Cora thinks Kelani is the one that left Michigan State a few years ago? Newsflash: this Kelani would eat that Kelani alive, so what does Cora think is gonna happen to her?
Kelani will put her résumé up against Cora’s any day of the week. Now, time to get ready for their main event tag match. Kelani & Giulia head out, will they avenge Stephanie here tonight?
Zaria and Sol Ruca are watching from the locker room.
Sol says that Iron Survivor match was the most fun she’s had in a long time. Zaria says she’s never felt anything like that before. The heat of the battle made her feel alive. Sol kind of felt the opposite of that stuck in the penalty box watching the clock run out. Freakin’- SKIRRRR~! Lash Legend & Jakara Jackson pull up, and Lash says she could’ve told them both that neither one of them was winning that match. And newsflash, if the Meta Girls were in there, one of them would be the Iron Survivor. But Zaria, they heard about you. The mystique, the power. Zaria may have all these other girls shook, but Lash knows like Zaria knows, that she ain’t Lash Legend and that she can’t hang.
Sol says Lash may be bougie, but if she was in that match with Zaria, she’d learn that she can’t bully Zaria. Jakara asks why Sol is sticking up for someone who wanted to rip her head off 48 hours ago? EW~. It’s giving delusional. The Meta Girls head out, but will they be the ones getting their heads ripped off by the Aussie powerhouse?
Hank ‘n’ Tank VS Tyson Dupont & Tyriek Igwe!
The Tag Team Battle Royal was wild, but while Walker & Ledger had a respectful handshake with Tyson, Tyriek wasn’t about that, and he cost Hank ‘n’ Tank in that match! Will settling this 2v2 be enough to make one of these teams the next #1 contenders?

Tank adds a RAM, then Hank SPLASHES for a BULLDOG! The fans fire up, “HONK! HONK!” BELLY SANDWICH! The fans fire up as Tyriek flounders. Tank storms up but Tyriek fires shots!

Winners: Hank ‘n’ Tank, by pinfall
Big win for these big boys, but they still wanna show respect to Ty & Ty. And again, Tyson is willing, Tyriek is not. Tyson apologizes for his friend then follows after. What will it take for Ty & Ty to get up the ranks of NXT?
Oba Femi is here!
Orlando fires up for The Ruler, for he is the 2024 Mr. Iron Survivor! Oba goes to the ring, grabs a mic, and says, “Surprise, surprise. The Ruler is back! At Deadline, I stormed into the building, I kicked down the opposition, and destroyed everybody! And now, I am the Iron Survivor.” The fans cheer that. Oba says in four weeks, in Los Angeles, at New Year’s Evil, Oba will reclaim his rightful place on the throne as THE RULER of NXT. The fans also like the sound of that, but Oba says that brings him to Trick Williams. Trick and Oba haven’t officially crossed paths yet. But they have been very dominant in their own runs, haven’t they?
But now, it is time to find out who the real top man is! To Oba’s surprise, here comes Trick! The fans cheer Trick on as he makes his way to the ring. The two eye each other, but wait, EDDY THORPE is here! The Alpha Wolf has his music cut and says this ain’t happening. Eddy tells Oba that he won’t ignore what happened last week! Eddy and his people have been through enough. Eddy storms into the ring and says Oba attacked him, took him out, and the biggest chance of Eddy’s career was just gone. On top of that, Oba took Eddy’s place in The Iron Survivor! Where is the justice? Is it just because Oba’s some big badass that he can do whatever he wants?
Eddy will not stand for this! But then Oba tells him to shut his mouth! The fans are on Oba’s side, and Oba says Eddy is making a bold accusation. Did Eddy see Oba attack him? No, because it was a blindside attack! But Eddy’s never been hit so hard! And there’s only one person who can hit like that, and it’s Oba. Oba says thanks for the compliment, but he is done wasting his time. Now, Trick! Trick interrupts Oba there, because he’s heard Oba talk enough. Time for Oba to listen to Trick. Trick’s been where Oba’s been. The highs and the lows, Trick’s done that. Winning Iron Survivor, Trick’s done that.
And Trick knows everyone has been waiting for Trick and Oba to go 1v1. LA, the City of Angels, the City of Stars, and the two biggest stars NXT has to offer in Trick and Oba, will collide on New Year’s Evil. That sounds good, don’t it? Oba and Trick ain’t really talked, but Trick’s glad Oba’s here. The legacy of a title reign isn’t defined about how long it lasts, but by who you beat while you carry it! Oba says all this noise about being champion, but here’s the truth. No one has hit Trick with truth like this. The only reason Trick was the number one guy is because Oba LET him be! The fans like those fighting words!
Oba says that in fact, the only reason there even was a Whoop Dat Trick Era is because Oba ALLOWED there to be one! Trick feels like he got spat on, and Oba says the truth is also this. Oba has always known that whenever he was ready, he would take that title and easily! And at New Year’s Evil, it seems Oba and Trick have a date with destiny. Oba VS Trick for THE NXT Championship! And Oba promises, he swears, that 2025 begins with the END of Trick’s era. Trick is riled up, Oba ignores Eddy as he leaves, but then Eddy steps to Trick! Eddy asks what the hell. Trick’s the NXT Champion! He’s supposed to be the leader around here, right?
But Trick didn’t press Oba once about what he did to Eddy! And here Eddy thought that maybe, just maybe, Trick would give Eddy a title match for the injustices done to him. Seems Eddy was wrong about that! Just like Eddy was wrong about Trick. Eddy used to see Trick as a man of the people. Everyone follows Trick wherever he goes. But when it’s time to check under the hood of the Lamborghini, all there is to see is a manufactured sports entertainer. And Eddy knows that Trick reached the top here very quickly, but Trick wouldn’t have lasted two WEEKS in the Japanese dojo that Eddy came up in.
so what? This is the real Trick? The guy we’re supposed to be chasing? A guy that came from the Eagles’ training camp and went to a WWE tryout? Unlimited charisma? Eddy doesn’t care about that! Trick tells Eddy to shut his ass up! The fans fire up for Trick and Trick says he is sick of Eddy and all the doubters. Those same doubters who called Trick a sidekick! But look at Trick now. Those same doubters when it was Trick VS Mad Dragon, but look at him now! Those same doubters who think they got to see Trick 1v1 and take his title! You think you can, Eddy? You think you the one? Then believe that, because Trick ain’t got a problem whooping every single ass inside that locker room.
Trick has no problem proving to everyone he is what he says he is, and that is THE NXT Champion. So then, let’s find out, Eddy! Next week! Trick tells Ava, set it up. Then Trick DECKS Eddy! The fans fire up as Trick storms off, but Eddy laughs that off. Will Eddy get exactly what he wants out of this? Or is he only getting what he deserves?
The Fatal Influence talks backstage.
Jacy Jayne is so sick of Gigi, why won’t she just go away? She is obsessed with Jacy! Fallon thinks it’s more Gigi wants Fallon’s title. Jacy frowns and says Gigi’s after her. Jazmyn keeps the peace by saying it doesn’t matter. They just need to get rid of her. Okay? The trio heads out, will they keep their own toxicity down enough to handle business?
Gigi Dolin & Tatum Paxley talk backstage.
Gigi is glad they have- Friendship? Tatum gives Gigi a big hug! Y-yes, friendship. And as fun as it is pissing off Fatal Influence, it’s still three against two. Tatum says no worries there. Tatum made a brand new- Izzi Dame steps in and tells them that whatever drama they have with Fatal Influence, put it aside. Izzi ain’t done with Gigi, she wants to run it back. Shawn Spears and his crew walk in and says easy now, Miss Dame. He doesn’t want anything happening to Gigi & Tatum. Gigi & Tatum head out and Spears wishes them luck. Now, Izzi, you seem… lost. But he couldn’t overlook how impressive she was in that match last week.
Izzi says what she doesn’t need is someone’s approval. Dame knows how damn impressive she is. Izzi storms off, but could The It Girl be just the thing Spears’ squad needs to take over NXT?
Gigi Dolin & Tatum Paxley VS Jacy Jayne & Jazmyn Nyx w/ Fallon Henley!
Hell’s Favorite Harlot made her return to help out the twisted outcast that is Tatum, and while she already has Jacy and Fallon snipping at each other, who’s to say it isn’t two bird brains with one stone? Will Gigi & Tatum take down common enemies and open a path to the Women’s North American Championship? Or will NXT still be under the Influence?
NXT returns as Gigi & Tatum make their entrance. The teams sort out and Jacy dares Gigi to step up, but gets Tatum instead. Jacy gets around Tatum to CLUB her, then she throws her to the corner.

The fans rally but Jacy SUPERKICKS Gigi down! The fans boo but Jacy runs up to RAM Gigi! Tag to Jazmyn and they mug Gigi. The ref counts as Jazmyn digs boots in, and she tags to Jacy. Jazmyn sends Jacy in to ELBOW Gigi, then a snapmare to a BASEMENT KICK! Jazmyn adds another kick, then Jacy adds another!
Jacy runs, but Gigi avoids the senton! Jacy gets up to swing on Tatum but she ducks. Gigi dodges Jacy to hot tag Tatum! The fans fire up as Tatum rallies on Jacy, then she CLOBBERS Jazmyn! Tatum wrenches Jacy, brings her in< BUTTERFLY PLEX! Jacy runs up but is sent into Jacy! Tatum rusn to CROSSBODY them both in the corner! Tatum reels Jacy in for a fireman’s carry, then a SWINGING SLAM! Tatum goes up a corner, Jazmyn distracts the ref, and Fallon SHOVES Tatum down! Jacy hits the ENCORE ELBOW! High stack, Fatal Influence wins!
Winners: Jacy Jayne & Jazmyn Nyx, by pinfall
The fans boo but now Fatal Influence mugs Tatum! Gigi gets in to fight back, but that’s still 3v2! Just as Gigi said before the match! The fans boo, but here comes SHOTZI!?! The Ballsy Badass is back in NXT! She TOSSES Jacy, dodges Fallon and BOOTS Jazmyn! The fans are thunderous as Shotzi KICKS Jacy, ROCKS her, then QUESTION MARK KICKS! Gigi & Tatum ENZIGIRI the rest! Then they hold the way open so Shotzi can DIVE onto the Influence! The fans are thunderous, and this is that new friend Tatum was talking about! Will the misfits make the mean girls pay once and for all?
Fraxiom regroups.
They’re both excited and they sit down to talk. Axiom knows has told Frazer to control his emotions, but he went to Ava and made a match for him and Oba Femi. Wait, what? Yeah, he did! When…? It’ll be next week. And yeah, Axiom knows Frazer is concerned, because it is Oba, but they’re tag partners. Axiom is standing up for Frazer! Oba will feel the pain he put Frazer through! Wait, why is he upset? Frazer says first, thanks, but Frazer was about to tell Axiom that he felt bad Axiom had to carry the team. So Frazer went to Ava and made themselves a tag team championship match! For…? Next week…
So now Axiom has a double header? Frazer says hey, if anyone can pull it off, it’s Axiom! How bad can it be? Did Frazer not see his face? Well, Axiom does wear a mask… Fraxiom has gotten themselves in another bind, but will they make it out in one piece?

Ethan is furious that his shoutout to the Hardy Boys was not enough! Ethan snarls as he drags Tony back up, hoists him up, but Tony slips free of the crucifix! SPINEBUSTER!! High stack, Tony wins!!
Winner: Tony D’Angelo, by pinfall (still NXT North American Champion)
The Don adds to All Ego’s woes, clearly Ethan has no idea what is becoming of his NXT career. What path must he take to get his confidence back?
Lexis King talks with someone backstage.
Lexis is honored to be meeting with Ryan Leaf! Second draft pick overall in the NFL back in the day! Granted, it didn’t work out, but just look how Ryan turned his life around! Pac-12 commentator on CW, not to mention all the charity he does for mental health. Ryan says no, Lexis is the inspiration here. They both competed week in and week out, very publicly at that. Lexis is so much more relatable. We all get to see it. You don’t decide what your story is when it starts, but once you figure things out, you know how to finish it. Ryan can’t wait to see that. Lexis appreciates that, and appreciates that advice on going to Minneapolis to close the book on that part of his life.
Dempsey walks over and says he finished thinking it over. Lexis is becoming the best version of himself, so why not? Heritage Cup Championship will happen in two weeks! But first, Lexis needs to make it through a workout with Dempsey. Done! Dempsey says excellent. Ryan asks if Dempsey’s workout regiment is hard. Lexis says he’s about to find out. Lexis and Leaf shake hands, but will The King finally have his crowning moment?
NXT Media catches up with Ethan Page.
Reporters want a word but Ethan is in no mood. He knows what they want to ask, but he just can’t right now. He really can’t. Ethan knows he is better than this, he’s been better than this, but he’s lost his way. He says he’s All Ego, but the reality is… Ethan isn’t. Ethan doesn’t think he’s good enough to get the North American title, has no clue how to get back to THE NXT title, and he’s just… lost. And ashamed. And… Ethan goes to his car to leave for the night, but will he be back next week?

Eddy Thorpe signs the contract.
Now his NXT Championship match with Trick Williams is official. Eddy can’t believe this is happening. The biggest match of his life is next week. Ava says yep, it is official. She’ll see him in Lowell. Eddy says he deserves this. Ava says they’re still looking into who attacked Eddy, but Eddy says he knows who it was. Wait, what? Eddy says, “You’re looking at him. I got my title match, and I didn’t have to go through 25 minutes of hell to get it. See you in Lowell.” The Alpha Wolf admits to being a snake! He gamed the system, but is he about to be THE champion of NXT?
My Thoughts:
A great NXT here to turn the corner from Deadline to New Year’s Evil, and what a brilliant twist with this newest whodunnit. After Eddy Thorpe inserts himself in the face-to-face of Oba Femi and Trick Williams, after he makes a big stink about Oba being his attacker and Trick not supporting him, and after goading Trick into giving him that title match, Eddy reveals that he somehow faked being attacked backstage, and all this implies he fooled medical into thinking he couldn’t compete. Given how Eddy angered Trick that badly, he was already getting whooped something fierce, but with this reveal, Trick might go the extra mile just to humiliate Eddy.
Great stuff with this Ethan Page crisis of confidence story, and I was just thinking a midcard title could’ve been a way to go. But then they kinda skip a few weeks in build by just giving him a match, and then he loses. Ethan’s promo afterward was good, because I really feel he could be called up to RawDown already. Ethan is probably more a SmackDown guy to add to the US Championship scene, and maybe one day be in the Undisputed WWE Championship scene. Oh, well, maybe after the “Transfer Window” closes, it’ll be the World Heavyweight Championship instead. Ethan VS Gunther wouldn’t be too bad really.
Great tag match from Hank ‘n’ Tank VS Ty & Ty to build a bit of a feud there. Hank ‘n’ Tank win to stay strong, but it also allows Tyriek to show more of his frustration and reluctance to show respect. If other tag team stories are to be believed, Tyriek will get Tyson to see things his way and Tyson will become a very aggressive Heel in the rematch. Good promo from Briggs & Inamura, who I feel will get those tag titles in early 2025. And I say that because Frazer & Axiom are perhaps just a week away from losing the belts. They didn’t communicate with each other, Axiom is now gonna get crushed by Oba, and then he and Frazer are going into a match with Gallus at far less than 100%. Gallus can get those belts to then drop them to Briggs & Inamura at New Year’s Evil.
Awesome match from Je’Von VS Wes, building on how they opened the Iron Survivor on Saturday. Great win for Je’Von, but Wes will surely double down on being bitter and trying to drag Je’Von down to his level, we probably get another match at New Year’s Evil. Good promos from Lexis King with Charlie Dempsey, and some good CW integration with Ryan Leaf showing up to talk with Lexis. Lexis will definitely be put through the wringer by Dempsey next week, and that Heritage Cup match could probably go either way. Lexis can’t keep losing the “big one,” so maybe he pulls this off with a late fall in the final round.
Also, good promo from the full NQCC with OTM to set up both a Mixed Six Tag as well as separate matches of Jaida VS Wren and Nima & Price VS Myles & Heights. Wren’s getting on a roll and the fans love her, but the fans still like Miss Parker, so that match is going to be really good and hard to call. At this point, it feels like Price & Nima missed the boat on becoming a top team, but that isn’t all their fault. I feel like there were bigger plans had Reggie/Scrypts stuck around, but someone somewhere up high in WWE said those plans didn’t matter. Maybe things can change in the event Frazer & Axiom stop being a team after next week.
And a lot of good stuff with tag matches in the women’s division. Good promo from Fatal Influence to show there’s dysfunction between Fallon and Jacy. After all, they were once enemies, so they’re not going to be best of friends here. Good promo from Gigi & Tatum with not just Izzi but with Spears’ team. Just as I was thinking, Spears is shifting gears to possibly recruit Izzi, and she really could use something to do. Very good match of Gigi & Tatum VS Jacy & Jazmyn, but the 3v2 numbers of course favored the Influence. But great return for Shotzi, not just to NXT but in general, and that’ll be a very fun Six Woman Tag that then sets up Fallon VS Gigi. Jacy thinking Gigi’s here for her could in effect cost Fallon, and then we get more Jacy VS Gigi but for a title.
Good promo from Zaria & Sol with Lash & Jakara, and I’m pretty sure Zaria & Sol win that tag match to stay strong overall. Very good opening promo from Giulia with Roxie & Cora confronting her while having “attacked” Vaquer backstage. Kelani making the save was good, as there was still a grudge for her and Cora to work out. Giulia and Roxie taking themselves out of the match by brawling away was good stuff, and Cora winning for her team was fine. Vaquer was of course coming out for revenge, I’m just not sure they’re going to wait until New Year’s Evil to have a match. They could easily have a match next week or for NXT Christmas Eve, and then the winner moves on to do something else. My guess would be Vaquer wins to challenge the winner of Roxie VS Giulia.
My Score: 8.8/10
