Hello everyone and welcome to another episode
of Finishes and Factions. This time we are at
Stand and Deliver. This is NXT's version of WrestleMania
on WrestleMania weekend from the T -Mobile Arena,
Las Vegas. So with this one we're gonna jump
in as Stand and Deliver did to the very first
match. Which was a North American Championship
match between Ricky Saints and all -ego Ethan
Page This one was actually a really good match.
I really enjoyed this. It was a great start to
the NXT card Now we have a selection of title
matches going on this evening. This is the first
one And to jump straight into the action like
Ricky Saints did, he went old school off the
start onto Ethan Page and rebounds off the ropes
with a clothesline taking him out. And then see
Ethan Page hang Ricky Saints up on the top rope
and hit a running slam onto the apron afterwards.
There's quite a few big moves into this one to
be fair, so. a lot of it was Ethan Page focusing
on the lower back of Ricky Saints who hurt that
during the slam into the apron off the the top
rope and it's a lot of a lot of side stuff there's
a suplex for a two count he had a side slam for
a two count at one point we even have Ethan Page
telling the crowd to kiss his ass which is always
a always a nice one to have he Ricky Saints reverses
a suplex into a rather nasty little neck breaker,
goes for a springboard move but Ethan Page moves
out the way and Ricky Saints goes up over onto
the announce table and bounces through to where
we have our commentary team sat. He then gets
thrown back into the ring by Ethan Page. A big
boot attempt goes off. And then we end up with
Ethan Page locking in a Boston Crab onto the
lower, you know, trying to seriously work at
the lower back of Ricky Saints. He uses the bottom
rope to break the Boston Crab. We get a few punches
exchanged and Ethan Page then kicks Ricky Saints
in the lower of the back. He's like a saint.
Ethan Pages is definitely pushing a lot towards
this lower back that Ricky Saints had hurt during
the start of this match. You can tell he's struggling
a little bit. His confidence has been knocked.
He does manage to get himself out of an ego's
edge and lands a few half decent shots. There
is another opportunity for Ethan Page to try
again He throws Ricky Saints on the top rope
sending him flying out of the ring Just kind
of basically picks him up and just drops him
on the rope like lets the rope do all the work
Bounces him halfway across the outside Of which
Ricky Saints when he comes back into the ring
replies with a tornado DDT and a spine buster
A few minutes later followed by a two count of
a mission rookie kick The crowd are chanting,
Tony fumbled. Now, I don't know about you guys,
but I don't think Ricky Saints' debut into NXT
has been anything as what it could have been
with the hype that he had around him. And the
whole thing felt quite lackluster even to them
kind of like just throwing them out on that one
episode of NXT. I want to say it was the last
pay -per -view. I think it was Roadblock where
they threw him out at the end. He was like, hey,
I'm here and the guys are still setting up the
cage. So I'm just going to talk for a few minutes
to keep everyone entertained. We then ended up
with Ethan Page getting a power slam and a two
count. Ricky Saints hits a Hurricane Rana -style
neck breaker, which was really, really nice.
I really enjoyed watching this. We see Ricky
Saints go up top. Ethan Page goes up as well.
Ethan Page ends up with Ricky Saints on his shoulders
and Ricky reverses it into a powerbomb for a
two count. He basically drops himself over the
front and picks him up and drops him, which was
beautiful. So Ethan Page hits the confidence
breaker and ee -oo's edge for a two count. Ricky
Saints replies with a spear and a ro -sham -bow
for the three count. which means that The Revolution
continues, Ricky Saints retains his North American
title, and we end up with Ethan Page going back
to the queue for his shot at that one. We move
into this into a recap of what we had from Smackdown
last night, which was between Roman Reigns, Seth
Rollins and CM Punk. Basically just a recap of
their story from the start to finish. And yeah,
it's gonna be an interesting one. But we'll see
how that goes. So we go from that VT into our
second match of the evening, which is always,
always a fun one because our second match of
the evening is for our tag team titles. This
is the Challengers Hank and Tank. versus Fraxium.
Obviously, Hank and Tank won that gauntlet match
on last week's NXT to be able to get here. And
to be fair, this match had in everything that
we needed it to, I wanted it to, and I really,
really enjoyed watching this match. There was
a lot of things to it that were really, really
fun to do and really, really good to watch. So,
Axiom and Hank started. There was a sweet little
double team with Nathan Fraser running the ropes
very quickly Nathan Fraser can't half get some
speed on those ropes. I'll tell you it's It's
mental the sort of sort of ability that guy has
when it comes to just running those ropes But
we get there there's a hankin tank with a double
team bulldog on Nathan Fraser from with the double
team, sorry There was a bulldog onto Nathan Fraser
from Hank and a senton from Hank as well on to
Nathan Fraser. Nathan Fraser manages to hit Hank
with a DDT whilst Axiom drop -kicked Hank. I
would say you're going to get very confused with
a lot of this. I was just as confused watching
this purely for the fact that there was just
so much going on. So much of this match. It was
insane. It was like it really was a great match
Axiom get a two count on Hank and then lock in
a sleeper hold Hank drops Axiom with a clothesline
caught gets caught by Nathan Fraser with a double
axe handle And then we have a massive series
of moves finished with a standing shooting star
by Nathan Fraser for a two count Nathan Fraser
then locks in the rear naked choke hold, but
Hank muscles himself out Axiom tries again and
rolls him through into an arm bar and then a
triangle submission hold. Does not get anything
from this. We then get Axiom hold Hank in an
octopus hold but he breaks out and slams Axiom
on the mat while Hank is on the outside busy
hyping everyone up. And to be fair, he didn't
really need to be doing that. It was definitely
a match where the hype itself was already there.
Just the extra little bit did help. We then move
into Hank throwing Axiom in the ring and hitting
a big splash while he runs into the corner, jumps
up and shoulder tackles both of them into the
mid -air. He then manages to pull a Fisherman's
Suplex into a Spine Buster for a two count, which
was really, really nicely done. Then Nathan Fraser
ended up with a Crucifix cover and a two count.
So at this point it was just two count after
two count after two count after two count. So
many of them going on. Nathan Fraser throws Axiom
over the top ropes and ends up Hurricane Rana
-ing Hank who then throws him and ends up with
the Hurricane Rana throwing Hank into tank and
Axiom hits a frog splash and Nathan Fraser hits
a 450 splash for a two count on Hank. We then
see Axiom take Tank on the outside, Hank throws
Nathan Fraser into the corner and hits a sit
-down inverted power slam as Axiom breaks up
the count at two. Tank throws Axiom out and Hank
goes up top. Nathan Fraser goes up to me and
then gets pushed back down and Hank hits a cross
-body. Tank drops Hank onto Nathan Fraser for
a two count and like a basic power slams his
buddy into his opponent Again, they're using
these two big guys are using everything they
kind of have to be able to give themselves the
advantage in this point and It was so Close,
you know between who actually had the advantage
for a lot of this match a lot of this you match
I kind of generally thought it was going to end
up being an interference and a and no disqualification,
but we do end up watching Fraxium get the, hit
a high low for a two count and the move, like
it's mental, the speed and the agility those
two guys have got, but this one does end up.
finishing with Nathan Fraser going up top and
missing as Hank hits a boss man slam on him while
Hank takes out Axiom. Which means that Hank and
Tank are crowned the new NXT Tag Team Champions.
And Hank and Tank offer their hands to Axiom
in the ring. Brought a fraxium and axiom kicks
the hand away and pulls him in for a hug And
it's actually quite a nice little nice little
moment. So we have one retention so far and a
new set of Champions in Hankin tank with the
NXT tag team titles which I must admit, I did
not see coming, but I'm very much a fan of this.
I've been enjoying watching Hank and Tank for
the last few weeks. I thought their gauntlet
match last week was amazing. And the fact that
at one point Hank ate a Spanish fly onto the
announce table, does not move for a long time,
and then pops back up to help Tank win was incredible.
If you didn't get an opportunity to watch this
match or you haven't, you're not really a big
fan of NXT, but you thought, stand and deliver.
I'll give the podcast episode a listen and see
what happens. Go and watch the episode. It was
incredible. It was a mental episode. And so we
were two matches in and we've already, this was
one of the, I remember messaging Adam going,
holy shit, like you need to hurry up and watch
this. I need to be able to talk to this about,
talk about this with someone. And yeah, no, it
was mental. I loved it. But we will move on from
there into a slight recap of Tiffy Stratton and
Charlotte Flair and their story from the start.
And then we move backstage with Sarah Schreiber
talking to one half of the magician team, Penn
and Teller. and she's talking to Penn about the
magic and he says you know some people don't
like magic and believe that it's not real and
then we say we see Lexus King coming in saying
it's a ruse it's all smoke and mirrors and that
you know Lexus King is an intellectual and it's
the realest thing you ever see and Penn says
to him well you know well let's let's see what
happens then so he puts gets Lexus King to put
his heritage cup inside this massive cage so
they'll cover it up Make it so no one can see
it. The Sun doesn't get to it doesn't fade it.
Keep it nice and clean You know Lexus Kings like
yeah, I spend a lot of time polishing this this
will will do that. That's a good idea and So
they cover it up and then when they open the
cage back up the heritage cup is not there but
we see other half of this magical duo teller
and a J so sure J U so sure sorry, so you Which
was a Definitely an interesting one and poor
Alexis King was left wondering where his trophy
had gone. He has managed to lose that heritage
cup and that is not going to go down well with
Shaun Mike and the rest of the team. I mean,
I mean, I think I'd be pissed if I was someone's
boss and they come to me saying, boss, I've lost
this and you went, well, what? How can you lose
that? But, you know, it's one of those and it
is what it is. Anyway, we will jump into our
next match. Now, our next match is a ladder match.
It's a six -woman ladder match for the Women's
North American Championship, recently vacated
by Stephanie Vacour. So we, in this match, have
Leah Hale, Lola Weiss, Izzy Dane, Alani Jordan,
Zarya and Soruka. Now Soruka is going to be feeling
a little bit more than the rest of them at this
point because we are informed that she won at
the speed event previous night and we basically
start off with all the women kind of going for
each other and scattering out and we end up with
Kalani Jordan being the last one in the ring.
and then it ends up being Kalani Jordan and Sol
Ruka in the ring while the other women create
pure chaos on the outside. Now Izzy Dame takes
Sol Ruka out with a ladder into the steel steps
and Sol Ruka and Kalani Jordan are playing tug
of war over a ladder a little bit later on the
inside. We then see Sol Rukas set the ladder
up and start climbing but Thea Hale pulls her
down and hits a DDT so she can start climbing
up. We then end up having Lola Weiss pulling
her down and start climbing. Kalani Jordan pulls
her down and starts climbing. Thea and Lola Weiss
team up to take down Kalani Jordan. Zarya hits
a double spear and then follows that one up by
another spear onto Izzy Dane. while Soruka knocked
over the ladder. I mean this ladder at this point
is pretty fucked up. It's warped, it's bent,
it's going nowhere, but Zarya decides to use
it as a weapon anyway and starts spinning it
around, taking out everyone apart from Izzy,
Dame and Soruka. Izzy, Dame then drop kicks her
down, picks her up into a suplex, but Zarya was
not going to let that happen, reverses it. and
then Izzy Dane reverses that attack onto a suplex
on top of the ladder. We then see Kalani Jordan
landing a mystic leg drop on top of Lola Weiss'
neck who is hung up on the ropes and Kalani Jordan
clears the house from the apron and a moonsault
onto the last two standing which are Thea Hale
and Saul Rooker. Now this match was just... AOS
and I did my best to try and keep up with it
but we are gonna start getting to a point where
my notes don't make a lot of sense and I can't
even tell you why. It was just a little bit of
a pain to be able to keep up with. From a fan's
perspective it was like incredible but from a
a podcaster perspective, it was definitely a
difficult one to try and keep hold of. So after
the Mystic Med drop and the Moon Salt onto Thea
Hale and Sol Rooker, we see Izzy Dame throw Kalani
Jordan around and goes to Suplex onto a ladder,
but Kalani Jordan reverses it into a backdrop
onto the ladder, as to which she then hits a
Split Leg Moon Salt onto Izzy Dame. and then
picks up the ladder and starts climbing up. Lola
Weiss catches up and they start fighting at the
top of it as Kalani Jordan gets knocked off and
Lola Weiss gets her hands on the title but Jess
can't seem to grab hold of it enough to be able
to pull it off the bar holding it above the ring.
Lola Weiss pops a sleeper hold on the Saruka
and starts climbing up but Thea Hale pulls her
down. And we see Lola Weiss running hip toss
into the corner. Izzy Dane pulls her back off
the ladder after another climbing attempt. But
Lola Weiss comes out on top of that sort of engagement.
But Kalani Jordan does eventually pull her down
before she gets back up. And Soruka tries a powerbomb.
And Lola Weiss hits a back fist into the ladder.
And Izzy Dane then drops Lola Weiss with the
next, I think it was a kick next. Slowly followed
up by a choke slam on Kalani Jordan by Izzy Dane
and a sit down powerbomb on Sol Ruka off the
ladder. Izzy Dane then starts climbing. Thea
Hale catches up to her and gets pushed back.
Thea pushes the ladder over. and lands a headbutt
on Izzy Dane. I mean, these women were throwing
everything at it. We had all sorts of finishes,
you know, signature moves, big moves, you know,
last bitched efforts, and it just keeps going
and going. At this point, we're only sort of
like halfway through the match. Yeah. No, so
we end up with Thea Hale setting up another ladder.
Kalani Jordan runs at her and ends up in a fisherman
suplex into the ladder, which then gets knocked
over. Thea Hale sets it back up in the centre
and starts climbing up. Again, she has her hands
on the title but can't quite pull it and Izzy
Dane pulls the ladder. Way out from underneath
the title kind of pushes the ladder to one way
but not to push it over but just slides it through
the ring and the title then comes out of her
grasp and We end up seeing Thea Hale lock in
a Chimera lock on top and it basically ends up
with Izzy Dane and the culling Having a little
bit of support from the culling as they come
out to ringside. They don't actually interfere
at this point but they are definitely just there
as a distraction technique. Zarya tosses the
ladder out of the ring with fear hail on it and
they end up taking out the culling with that.
She basically just tipped it over with fear hail
like stood on top of it and that tipped her down
and then she could literally just grab it and
pull it back up to be able to use the ladder
to start climbing and going up Kalani Jordan
takes her off the ladder and starts hitting Zarya
with a ladder while Saruka saves her tag partner.
Saruka and Kalani Jordan start fighting with
a ladder while Zarya starts to climb up and we
end up with one ladder constructed in the middle
and another ladder split between the rope and
the rungs on the other ladder in like a table
style position. And we basically end up Seeing
the guys fighting on the ladder and Zarya backdrops
Lola Weiss onto the ladder and then Kalani Jordan
lands on Lola Weiss on the ladder with a frog
splash That ladder did not give way though and
Kalani Jordan bounced off. She didn't hit it
cleanly She bounced and it looked like she'd
actually really quite hurt herself here Which
was an interesting one. We then see Kalani Jordan
go up and Soruka springboards up onto the ladder
and both can reach the title but Soruka gets
rocked by a Kalani Jordan kick and Zarya pulls
Kalani Jordan off the ladder and throws her onto
the culling ringside and it's just the tag teammates
left. We have Soruka and Zarya, the tag team
of Zarya, busy sort of just standing tall in
the middle of the ring. It seems to be a bit
of a slugfest at the top of the ladder from the
two of them and it's a headbutt from Zarya that
makes them both slide down to the point where
Soruka kicks Zarya off the ladder and Izzy Dane
comes and grabs her foot. We end up seeing Soruka
hit a soul snatcher on Izzy Dane from halfway
up the ladder and then another one onto Thea
Hale while she goes up to the top and claims
the title. which makes Sol Ruka the new women's
North American champion which means I'm well
I don't know what that means for her tag team
with Zarya but at some point we could see both
of those two in a tag match too and it could
be a case of we see Sol Ruka with a double title
as a single and a tag team specialist. I really
enjoyed this match. It was very, very flowing.
I don't feel that I've given it the justice I
need to, but it was an incredible match. And
if you get an opportunity to watch it again,
go ahead and do it. It is really, really, really
good. After we move from that incredible Women's
North Americans Championship match, we are shown
a backlash VT. Backlash this year is being held
in St. Louis, Missouri which is going to be a
fun event and we get to deal with all the breakdowns
from these WrestleMania matches which we'll be
bringing to you in the next day or two once we
finished recording and editing them as we speak.
We then move on to find out that Gigi Doland
and Tatum Paxton earned a chance to have their
tag title matches and we see them backstage with
Sarah Schreiber where they say they're really,
really looking forward to taking on the tag champions
whether it be Lyra, Vaqueria and Bailey or Liv
Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez. We will find out
following their match at WrestleMania to which
one they find. We then get a little D 'Angelo
family VT about the members and their history,
a little dark state VT showing us what they've
been doing since they arrived in NXT, which is
basically just beating up as many people as they
possibly can. Which is always interesting. So
we then move from there into a history of John
Cena VT while that kind of starting off from
the ruthless aggression all the way through to
his final WrestleMania appearance, which we have
on Sunday evening, I believe it is to finish
off the WrestleMania weekend. Our next match
is one of the very few non -title matches on
this card, and that is the D 'Angelo family versus
Dark State. Now, before Dark State get into the
ring like we've had with the first two matches,
it seems to be a common theme on the stand and
deliver, but the D 'Angelo family run at them
and meet them on the ramp. Dark State surround
Tony D 'Angelo in the center of the ring and
he goes to town. It's a double team on Cut the
James and the bell finally rings. Lucca Crucifino
taking out Dark State until Osiris takes him
out off the apron and Dion Lennox spears Lucca
Crucifino from the announce table to the apron
and back again and then throws Lucca Crucifino
into the steel girders that make up the ring.
Dark State really came into this with no intentions
of taking it easy on the D 'Angelo family. They
want to cause as much pain as they possibly can.
And to be fair, we can't blame them. They've
come in here for that exact reason. They just
want to come and kick ass and very much enjoying
what they've been doing so far. It's been an
interesting one. We see Osiris throwing Luka
Crucifino across the ring. Luka Crucifino is
getting absolutely destroyed by Dark State. It's
been easy for them to be able to get him in the
positions they have. Saekwon sugars is fast and
Luka Crucifino powers through a move into a powerbomb.
Tony D 'Angelo wants back in but he drops down
off the apron to take out Cutler James who's
creeping up on Stacks and Stacks goes in instead
and starts laying the stacketh down. You'll have
to excuse that one, that was a rather bad pun.
Could not be resisted. Stacks manages to take
out Saekwon sugars and on the outside and Osiris
takes him out And basically spears him into the
ring and then throws him in after throwing him
into timekeeping There's just a lot of very brutal
power moves going on here dark state have really
really sort of Just taking it up a notch here
We see Stax taking a beating from Theon Lennox
after he eats a Spine Buster and then eats a
two count for it. Tony D 'Angelo looks like he's
leaving Stax to learn a lesson here. A few jumps,
the tag, and Stax drops a Saquon Sugars with
a massive, massive running knee. To the point
where Tony D 'Angelo gets into the ring, he does
clear house. There's a couple of big power slams,
Spine Buster, a suplex, and Saquon Sugars. So
and Osiris beyond Lennox breaks up the two count
on this But that Luca crucifino has locked in
Luca crucifino then suplexes Saquon sugars and
himself out of the ring as he gets dragged over
to these were big big bombs that were being hit
Which was a really really mental. Dion Lennox
hits a jackhammer on Tony D 'Angelo for a two
count. There's a triple team on Tony D 'Angelo
and Stax and Luca Crucifino both jump in at two
to save them. There was then a like a hands down
brawl. It's three v three. They're staring each
other down in the ring and as soon as they kind
of So they keep looking each other down. We know
it's going off and off it goes And it goes pretty
much off the way we'd expect it to be fair Where
all three of them all six of them sorry just
stood in the middle of the ring just throwing
absolute bombs Luca Crucifino runs into the turnbuckle,
gets run into a turnbuckle by Cutler James. Rizzo
hits him with a cross body off the outside and
Tony D 'Angelo gets a two count on Osiris. So
lots and lots and lots of near falls in this
match. Lots of epic moments. So Stacks comes
back into the ring with a crowbar and offers
it to Tony D 'Angelo who basically says, I don't
need that. Now we're gonna do this the right
way And it looked like stacks was gonna hit Tony
with the with the crossbar when only got grabbed
by member of dark state But it did not happen
and we ended up seeing backs give the crowbar
back to the referee and then basically turning
round and sticking his His foot square into the
bollocks of Tony D 'Angelo. Which, yeah, no.
This was definitely not the way it was gonna
go. After that kick, Dark State put in their
final nail of the coffin with that sort of pop
-up power slam that they initiate, and that ended
up with Dark State hitting the one, two, on Tony
D 'Angelo and not only did the D 'Angelo family
lose this match, they also lost stacks in the
process. Now that could be a big, big thing for
the D 'Angelo family and that is probably gonna
shock, well it did shock the entire NXT universe
when it happened. We will find out on Tuesday
though what happens more with that one. We then
get a little backstage segment with Sarah Schreiber
talking to Hank and Tank about how happy they
are to finally have had their hands on Tag Team
Gold and both Hank and Tank are absolutely ecstatic
saying that you know they've been working so
hard trying to learn the best they can and trying
to get better. That it the you know, they're
amazed they finally managed to get their hands
on You know those tag team titles and it was
a hell of a match against Fraxium and they they
really really enjoyed themselves and it's gonna
be a For me, it's gonna be interesting to see
where this goes because I did not expect this
to happen But I did very much enjoy watching
it happens and that the opening to this to this
Pay -per -view was incredible. It's not pay -per
-view anymore as it's a PLE. Yeah, absolutely.
I'll be dozy. I loved it. We then end up with
our next match, which is for the NXT Women's
title. This is a fatal four way. And yeah, we
are getting there. So this one was a fatal four
way between Jordan grace Jada Parker Stephanie
Baker and Julia and We have a little bit of information
about each person that comes into the ring So
this is Julia's sixth career NXT Championship
match and her first match since she lost her
title to Stephanie Baker at Roadblock This is
Jada Parker's third NXT Championship match and
her last match was a no -content against Jordan
Grace. Jordan Grace is also in this match and
she is a three -time TNA Knockouts champion and
so far in her time in NXT she has not been pinned
yet. But this is her first NXT title match and
anything could happen. Then finally, our champion
Stephanie Vaker. She spent 39 days as the NXT
Women's Champion and she made history at roadblock
by becoming the first double NXT champion in
singles titles. When she held both the North
American title that she took from Fallon Henley
and the women's NXT title that she beat Julia
for. So been some pretty impressive matches so
far. And we are going to jump into this one.
It starts off with Jordan Grace throwing Stephanie
out of the ring as Julia throws out Jada Parker.
Jada Parker then gets a two count on Julia. And
we then see a lot of Stephanie Vacar and Julia
teaming up to take out Jada Parker. We end up
seeing Stephanie Vacar rolling Julia up for no
count and they're both very much looking at each
other like, okay, is this the way it's gonna
go? We used to be friends and now we're not.
If that's the way you wanna play this, then that's
fine. So Stephanie Vacar and Julia take down
Jordan Grace and get in a hit to the face. Jada
Parker pulls Julia out of the ring and Jordan
Grace takes out Jada Parker's legs and runs through
a clothesline attempt like completely no sells
it. There is no way in hell that clothesline
attempt has been sold and Jordan Grace just shrugged
it off like it was a weak -wristed, limped security
guard trying to hold her back. and it did not
work. We had another roll up from Stephanie Viqueur
on Jordan Grace for two and then she rolls around
Jordan Grace for a two count roll up a third
time and then we end up with a back suplex on
Jordan Grace while Jada Parker breaks it up and
throws Stephanie Viqueur out of the ring which
means we get a little bit of action between Jada
Parker and Jordan Grace and they both make a
move up on Julia. Julia kicks Jada Parker in
the face instead with Julia then teeing off on
Jada Parker and getting in a running knee for
a two count. Jada Parker then slapped the absolute
lips off the face of Stephanie Vacar and Stephanie
Vacar and Julia set up a superplex and Jordan
Grace ends up sneaking underneath both Julia
and Stephanie while Jada Parker hits the blockbuster
off the top rope, dropping all three women. And
to be fair, I think Jada Parker ate more of her
own blockbuster than the rest of them did because
she was also seemed to be struggling to get back
up off of the floor. Jordan Grace at this point
takes it as an opportunity to try and get a cheeky
cover in it and gets a two count off all three
women lying on the floor. Wasn't quite enough
to try and finish it and I don't think they were
gonna give this match to Jordan Grace considering
how long she's been in the promotion. I can't
really see them giving her the promotion's biggest
title in her first proper pay -per -view. But
we have seen stranger things happen in the WWE
Universe and I'm sure over the course of WrestleMania
weekend, we will see some more strange things
happen. So this match goes on and my list of
moves just gets bigger and bigger. With Julia
hitting a running knee on Stephanie Baker and
then jumping up for a head scissors and Julia
and Jada Parker. Jordan Grace hits a German suplex
with a Northern Lights twist on Jada Parker and
Julia. Jada Parker triple stacks everyone in
the corner and then jumps up to bottom drop through
them. And then a sit down power bomb on Stephanie
Baker for two. We end up with Jordan Grace in
an ankle hold by Jada Parker who gets put in
an octopus hold by Julia while Stephanie Vacar
locked in a cross face arched and Jordan Grace
in a triple submission. We then see Stephanie
Vacar hit that dangerous dragon screw knee drag
on Julia for a two count and a devil's kiss on
both Julia and Jada Parker and a suplex and a
devil's kiss on Jordan Grace. Julia counters
the SVB for a backslide for a two count and then
throws Stephanie Verker at the ring and Jordan
Grace hits a back face and goes beast mode while
Jada Parker hips a notic. Julia rolls up Jada
Parker for a two count and then Stephanie Verker
hits spinal tap and pins. on Julia and then hits
an SVB on Jada Parker for the 1 -2 -3 to retain
the Women's NXT Championship. I mean, this was
an incredible match. Again, I don't think I've
done it as much justice as I possibly could have,
but it was an incredible, incredible match and
I really do not think that the women who participated
in this event are going to be able to give it
any more than they already have. And it was a
fantastic, fantastic match. We then move into
a little backstage segment where we've got Alexis
King still looking for his heritage cup. And
we see Stacks leaving the building. With Izzy
Dame and Luca Crucifino chasing after him saying,
you know, what are you doing man? What happened?
At which point Stacks says look, I'll tell you
more on Tuesday. Keep your phone close. See you
later. So we've got a lot of stuff coming on
Tuesday for that section, but all we have left
to come for tonight is our main event of the
evening and This, ladies and gentlemen, is a
triple threat for the men's NXT Championship.

won his triple threat. his title in a triple
threat match between Eddie Thorpe and Tripp Williams.
We're told that Tripp Williams is a two time
NXT title holder and his fourth time challenging
for the title. And this time last year, he beat
Carmelo Hayes who was this year's Andre the giant
bottle Royale winner. So Carmelo Hayes has gone
a long way for challenging for the NXT title
to being a Andre the Giant Battle Royale winner

Hayes the best in his push with that Hoping that
he gets one because of course the last handful
of people to win the Andre the Giant Battle Memorial

of them from the last 10 years left in the company.
