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.

After the April 18 episode of NXT, next week’s Spring Breakin’ is stacked and we will get to those details shortly.
First, on this weeks episode Roxanne Perez took to the ring to challenge Zoey Stark. The two had a run in last week with Stark mocking Perez. Towards the end of the match, Perez went for the Pop Rox, but Stark was able to avoid it. Stark nailed a Dragon Suplex for a near fall. Stark went for an Irish Whip on Perez, but the former NXT Women’s Champion went over Stark and hit the Pop Rox for the pinfall win.
After the match, the NXT Women’s Champion Indi Hartwell made her way to the ring. She wanted to make it official and offer Perez the next shot at the championship next week. Before they could shake on it, Tiffany Stratton’s music hit. She couldn’t seem to understand how she was passed over for another title opportunity. She claims Perez is easily beatable but Perez reminded her that she was victorious against Stratton in the break out tournament.
Hartwell agreed to defend against both women as she remains a fighting champion.
Next we had a match between Gigi Dolin and a returning Cora Jade. This was Jade’s first match back on TV since January. The final moments had Dolin on the offense but Jacy Jayne appeared for a distraction. Dolin took Jayne out over the announce table but Jayne’s appearance would take Dolin away from Jade. Jade caught Dolin back in the ring with a knee strike and hit the Death Rider for the victory.
Post match, as Jade was still in the ring, Lyra Valkyria appeared and the two finally will have their match next week.
A third match for Spring Breakin’ has been confirmed and it will be a mixed tag team bout. Fallon Henley and Josh Briggs will take on Kiana James and Brooks Jensen. Jensen with a new look is tired of Briggs and Henley holding him back.
A second women’s match is confirmed for the April 18 episode of NXT. Cora Jade will return to the ring as she takes on Gigi Dolin. She had a lot to say about the women’s locker room last week and now she needs to back it up in the ring. The other women’s match that … Read more

If you missed the Jan. 24 episode of NXT, then you missed a show filled with the women’s division. There were a total of four women’s matches along with various segments. The show closed out with the Championship Summit which had the NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez go face-to-face-to-face with Jacy Jayne and Gigi Dolin of Toxic Attraction. Her opponents for Vengeance Day on Feb. 4. But more on that later.
First, let’s go over the results of the matches –
Tiffany Stratton def. Indi Hartwell
Elektra Lopez def. Wendy Choo
Fallon Henley & Kiana James def. Ivy Nile & Tatum Paxley
Katana Chance & Kayden Carter (c) def. Alba Fyre & Sol Ruca – NXT Women’s Tag Team Titles
To open this week’s show, Tiffany Stratton returns to the ring for the first time since August. Her return ruffled the feathers of Indi Hartwell when Stratton seemed smug about how she referred to the women’s locker room. The match would result in the favor of the returning Stratton as she delivered a moonsault from the top rope to pin Hartwell for the victory.
Next up, we have Elektra Lopez taking on Wendy Choo. This match was more so for the story of Lopez who has been talking to Valentina Feroz as of late. Feroz has had a string of bad luck over the past number of months. Her tag team partner Yulisa Leon was sidelined with an injury, and she lost her mentor of sorts in Sanga. Lopez told Feroz last week to watch her match this week to see how to be victorious.
Lopez is known for her cheating ways to win matches and this time would be no different. After Choo got a near fall from a cross body, Lopez pulled brass knuckles out of her gear to utilize. She delivered a right hand which knocked out Choo for the three count. Post-match, Feroz looked on, and even though she doesn’t agree with Lopez’s tactics maybe she is reconsidering.
Nikkita Lyons was attacked in the parking lot. There were several people around when she was attacked and it would be Hartwell and Lyra Valkyria who came and tried to help her. This was announced as Cora Jade was being interviewed in the locker room. Jade was upset that her interview was cut short just as she was explaining that Valkyria left her a black feather in her locker.
Stevie Turner was interviewed (sort of) by Mckenzie Mitchell. Turner stated that her debut will be next week and that she would eventually like to face Roxanne Perez. She has a feeling Perez won’t be champion past Vengeance Day.
Thea Hail had an award ceremony with the rest of Chase U.
Lastly, we had the Championship Summit which took place in the main event. Roxanne Perez will be defending her NXT Women’s Title for the first time at Vengeance Day in a Triple Threat against both members of Toxic Attraction. Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne won this opportunity by simultaneously eliminating each other at the end of a 20-woman battle royal.
Throughout the night, both Dolin and Jayne had separate interviews. Basically talking about their growing dislike for one another ever since they were named number one contenders. They took this to the summit and they didn’t hold back. They would trade insults with Perez eventually saying she loves to see both of them go at each other. The champ was afraid of a handicap situation at Vengeance Day but now thinks it may be a real Triple Threat.
Dolin and Jayne end up getting up from their seats and in each other’s faces until they then put on a smile. It was an act all along and Toxic Attraction is still standing together. They would target Perez and put her through the table. The show ended with a shot of Dolin and Jayne holding up the championship together.
