The NXT after Deadline had the return of Cora Jade continue as she started the show with a mic in hand. She went on to say that while she was out for four months all she kept hearing was when was she going to return. In addition, although she agreed the Iron Survivor Challenge match was great, nobody is talking about it because of her return being on everybody’s lips.
The NXT Women’s Champion Lyra Valkyria made her way out to the ring. She said Jade missed something in her speech and that’s the fact that she was jumped by her at Deadline. Blair Davenport joined the party who will be facing Valkyria at New Year’s Evil on Jan. 2 from winning the Iron Survivor moniker.
Lastly, Nikkita Lyons made her way out yelling that Davenport was the one who jumped her in the parking lot and took her out for most of the year. This led to a brawl between the four women and set up a tag team match for later in the show, Jade and Davenport vs. Valkyria and Lyons.
A mixed tag team match between Meta Four and Fallon Henley/Josh Briggs/Brooks Jensen took place as both teams got into it backstage at Deadline.The final moments of the match had Henley and Lash Legend spill to the outside which caused Tiffany Stratton to come out to the ring. Henley quickly pounced on Stratton and the two brawled to the backstage area leaving the men to finish the match.
Briggs would picked up the win by pinning Noam Darr. He now wants to go after the Heritage cup. Fallon vs. Tiffany is now set for next week.
Lyons went to talk to Valkyria in the locker room. They share their disdain for their opponents. Lyons noticed the photo of Valkyria and Becky Lynch in Valkyria’s locker now has Tatum Paxley’s face now pasted over Lynch’s.
The final moments of the match saw Davenport with a vicious knee to the champions face. Lyons pulled Davenport out of the ring, but Jade was the legal woman and pinned Valkyria! Post match, Paxley entered the ring as Lyons was trying to console Valkyria. She tossed Lyons out of the ring and with a feather in hand got real close with Valkyria!
We also saw some tension backstage between Chase U’s Jacy Jayne and Thea Hail with Kiana James and Izzi Dame. This is all from a crush that Hail has on Riley Osborne.
A tag team match between the four women is set for next week.
