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

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.

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.

After the March 21 episode of NXT, two more women have joined Zoey Stark and Gigi Dolin in a ladder match for the NXT Women’s Title at Stand & Deliver. Both Lyra Valkyria and Tiffany Stratton qualified in their respective matches.

First, Stratton defeated Indi Hartwell. In the final moments, Stratton went for a springboard senton, however, Hartwell was able to avoid it and get a near fall off of a spinebuster. Stratton slammed Hartwell onto the turnbuckle before hitting the Green Bay Plunge followed up by her moonsault for the pinfall.

Next Valkyria defeated Ivy Nile in a much shorter match. During the bout, Tatum Paxley who turned her back on Nile last week was watching on the TV monitor.

It was confirmed that at least one more woman will be added to the ladder. There will be a last chance qualifying match where Sol Ruca, Indi Hartwell, and Ivy Nile will get one last chance to enter the match.

Other women on this week’s show included the NXT Women’s Tag Team Champs Kiana James and Fallon Henley. Henley confronted James about “Sebastian” and that she knows all about him and how upset she is that James is doing this to Brooks Jensen. They need to get on the same page because they defend the gold against Isla Dawn and Alba Fyre at Stand & Deliver.

Speaking of Dawn & Fyre, they attacked Henley backstage to which James eventually showed up to help fight them off. James seemed to want Henley to keep the Sebastian news to herself.

There was a debate between Schism and Chase U. This has led to a eight-person tag team match at Stand & Deliver. This will be Ava’s debut match.

Toxic Attraction Stays United; Tiffany Stratton Victorious In Return Match

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.

For the last two matches, you can read the results in the NXT Women’s Tag Team Title Match Set For Vengeance Day article.

Now onto the other moments for the women –

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.

NXT – Feb. 1

  • Cora Jade vs. Lyra Valkyria
  • Stevie Turner Debuts

Vengeance Day – Feb. 4

  • Roxanne Perez (c) vs. Gigi Dolin vs. Jacy Jayne – NXT Women’s Title
