Tiffany Stratton Retains; Rhea Ripley Appears On NXT

by

A NXT Women’s Title match kicked off the June 27 episode of NXT. Tiffany Stratton defended against the number one contender Thea Hail.

The match was fast paced with Hail impressing the crowd. Hail had who she thought was in her corner at ringside. Along with Duke Hudson, Drew Gulak and Charlie Dempsey watched on before they interfered. The final moments had Dempsey pulling back the ropes so that Stratton couldn’t reach it. This caught the referee’s attention along with Gulak jumping on the ring apron.

With the referee busy with Gulak, Hail locked the Kimura in on Stratton causing her to tap but the official didn’t see it. As Hail argues with the referee, Stratton rolls her up into a bridge to get the win.

After the match, Gulak and Dempsey start yelling and targeting Hail. Hudson enters the ring and the duo attacks him. This leads to Andre Chase’s return.

There is a backstage segment that was taped from last week. Dana Brooke was in medical with ice on her knee from her defeat. Kelani Jordan emerged and the two have a conversation. Brooke says that she has been watching her and is happy to see a fellow gymnast. She says once she is healed she would like to get in the ring with Jordan.

The Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley makes an appearance backstage to warn Carmelo Hayes to stay away from the Judmenr Day.

The second women’s match was between Gigi Dolin and Kiana James. This rivalry has been brewing a few weeks with Fallon Henley sharing some words of wisdom to Dolin about her former tag team partner.

The final moments of the bout had James attempting to hit Dolin with her bag, but Dolin avoided it. Dolin hit the Schoolboy Bomb on James for the pinfall victory.

Post match, James hit Dolin from behind with her bag and followed up with a flatliner. James pulled two cans of paint out of her bag and dumped it on Dolin.

Ripley appeared backstage once again after Lyra Valkyria beatdown Jacy Jayne. She says that Jayne deserved it.

Meta Four’s Jakara Jackson and Lash Legend call out Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler.

The future of either the Diamond Mine or Schism is in danger. Next week, the Creed Brothers will take on the Dyad with the losers leaving NXT.

Meta-Four Gets Tag Team Victory; Dana Brooke Falls To Cora Jade

by

Meta-Four members Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson picked up a big and much needed win on the June 20 episode of NXT. Legend and Jackson have formed a stable with Oro Mensah and Noam Darr.

Legend and Jackson took on Valentina Feroz and Yulisa Leon. The match was on the shorter side, but both teams showcased what makes them good teams. Lola Vice and Elektra Lopez came out on the ramp to watch the match.

Mensah would interfere in the match which led to to Leon taking him out on the outside. Feroz would get back in the ring and meet a big boot of Legend who scored the pin.

Tensions have been high ever since a Battle Royal a few weeks ago which saw the return of Dana Brooke to NXT. Most in particular between Brooke and Cora Jade.

The match between the two took a turn when Brooke went for a move in the corner and fell down on the mat due to her knee. A stretcher comes out to help her but Jade continued to mock her and get in her face. As the stretcher was taking Brooke out, she would slap Jade and continue the match.

From there on, Jade continued to target the knee and locked in a single leg crab submission. Brooke refused to tap, but the referee had enough and stopped the match giving Jade the win.

Thea Hail had a pep rally ahead of her title match next week. Tiffany Stratton interrupts and the two get physical with Hail getting the last laugh.

Next week we will see Hail challenge Stratton as well as a match between Gigi Dolin and Kiana James.

Dana Brooke Makes Her Home Back In NXT; Hail vs. Stratton Match Set

by

Thea Hail will be getting her NXT Women’s Championship opportunity during the second week of Gold Rush on June 27. She won the number one contender Battle Royal last week by last eliminating Cora Jade and Dana Brooke.

Hail took on Jade this week on the June 13 episode. Prior to the match, Brooke was being interviewed. She was interrupted by Jade who told her to watch her match. She then slapped Brooke.

Match time, Brooke looked on with interest from the ramp before moving to ringside. Once at ringside and the action spilled to the floor, Jade punched Brooke in the face before reaching for her kendo stick. As she goes to use it on a fallen Hail, the referee took it which allowed Brooke to push Jade into the steel steps. Hail capitalizes by getting Jade back in the ring and applying the Kimura Lock to get the submission victory.

Later on in the night, Duke Hudson said how proud he was of Hail. He says she has the possibility of becoming the youngest NXT Women’s Champion and wants to hold a pep rally next week. Stratton appears and says that Hail won’t be winning.

The second women’s match was between Roxanne Perez and Tatum Paxley. Paxley has shown interest in being by the side of Blair Davenport since the latter was revealed as the mystery attacker. Perez picked up a victory here after hitting Pop Rox. After the match, Perez took to the mic and vowed to get revenge on Davenport after all the attacks she had done to the locker room.

A video package was shown for Davenport.

Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson joined Noam Dar at ringside as Oro Mensah defended the Heritage Cup. Dar wasn’t able to compete to defend it. In the end Mensah lost the cup for Dar to Nathan Frazer. A distraction occured as Yulisa Leon and Valentina Feroz came after Legend and Jackson at ringside.

There was a video package for Lyra Valkyria who said she would overcome her recent losses.

Jacy Jayne and Elektra Lopez were watching Valkyria’s vignette. Lola Vice appeared and reminded Jayne that Valkyria eliminated her from the Battle Royal. She says to Lopez that she doesn’t like too many people but she likes Lopez. Lopez agrees that she likes Vice.

Gigi Dolin found some solice in Fallon Henley as the two marked their discontent for Kiana James. Henley told Dolin to watch her back on James.

NXT’s Brooklyn Barlow Makes In-Ring Return At Live Event

by

If the name Brooklyn Barlow doesn’t ring a bell yet it is because she has been sidelined for nearly nine months early in her career.

Barlow, who has had several appearances on NXT Level Up, was taken out of action last July due to an ACL injury. Now she is back and took on Kiana James at the NXT Live show in Davenport, Fla. on Friday in a losing effort.

Barlow has had Level Up matches against James, Fallon Henley, Thea Hail, and Ivy Nile.

While Barlow makes her return, Harleigh White makes her debut. This is Harleigh’s real name and has not been given a ring name yet. She teamed up with Cora Jade in a losing effort against fellow newcomer Kelani Jordan and Thea Hail.

White is a Clemson University track star – 2022 ACC triple jump champion. She joined NXT with the fall class that also included Kelani Jordan.
