Match #1: Nxt Women’s Champion Triple Threat Match – Roxanne Perez def. Lyra Valkyria and Tatum Paxley The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
The Nxt Women’s Championship remains with “The Prodigy” Roxanne Perez as the champion retained her title in impressive fashion against both Lyra Valkyria and Tatum Paxley in a Triple Threat Match. The bad blood between former friends Valkyria and Paxley sparked a major battle between the two to begin the match, all while the champion looked on and smiled. Once Perez entered the fray, the action became chaotic as all three Superstars threw caution to the wind, punctuated by the demented Paxley tossing both of her opponents hard to the ringside area.

Match #1: Kiana James & Izzi Dame def. Fallon Henley & Kelani Jordan The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Fallon Henley and Kelani Jordan paired up once again to take on the conniving Kiana James and Izzi Dame in tag team action after the four Superstars clashed at Stand & Deliver. Henley and Jordan rode that momentum from Saturday afternoon early on, but the size and strength of Dame flipped the script and allowed herself and Kiana to gain full control. Jordan ended up finding herself in the cross hairs of Dame, but Henley saved her from a big boot, however it allowed James to hit 401K to score the victory for her team.

Match #1: Joe Gacy def. Shawn Spears The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Making his first Nxt Ple appearance in more than seven years, Shawn Spears battled Joe Gacy on the Countdown to Nxt Stand & Deliver. Before Gacy could make it to the ring, Ridge Holland, who had provided analysis on the Countdown show, cracked Gacy in the back with a steel chair. Spears used Holland’s attack to his advantage, continuing to attack Gacy’s damaged back with repeated back suplexes on top of the ring apron. Gacy somehow kept fighting, hitting a wicked uranage that nearly spelled the end for Spears. After an intense back-and-forth battle,...

In a match with major Nxt Stand & Deliver implications, Dijak managed outlast Shawn Spears in an incredible one-on-one match between two of the brand’s best. As the two Superstars warred inside the ring, Joe Gacy appeared from under the ring and stole Spears’ signature steel chair, seemingly helping his former rival Dijak. After a brutal, hard-hitting affair, Spears went looking for his chair only to find it missing. The slight distraction gave Dijak enough time to recover and after another back and forth, he finally managed to hit Feast Your Eyes to give him the major win.

Wrestling fans are really furious with Aew star Darby Allin, who recently insulted Kurt Angle—a big figure in the WWE Hall of Fame.
Angle is considered one of the all-time wrestling greats. He proved his real wrestling chops by snagging an Olympic Gold Medal in freestyle wrestling at the 1996 Olympics despite having a broken neck.

At WrestleMania 35, the 55-year-old wrapped up his wrestling career, losing to Baron Corbin. This match occurred almost two decades after Angle’s debut on WWE television.
Many fans were upset because Pittsburgh native’s last match at WrestleMania 35 was against Baron Corbin instead of someone like John Cena. They thought The Prototype would have been a better choice for Angle’s final match. Sadly, it didn’t come to be.

Dijak vanquished Joe Gacy in a brutal Asylum Match, but the deranged Gacy still managed to send shivers down the Nxt Universe’s spine even in defeat. With weapons all around the ring, the two rivals massacred each other inside the ring with the likes of steel chairs, fire extinguishers, tool boxes, and so much more. After tossing Gacy off of the top rope onto a trash can, Dijak scaled the cage and hit a gravity defying moonsault from atop the structure, but not even that was enough to win the match.

Match #1: Oba Femi def. Lexis King The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Oba Femi claims to be blessed by destiny and after another dominant performance, this time against Lexis King, there could be no stopping the Nigerian Superstar. Femi used his incredible blend of explosiveness and strength to keep King off-balance for nearly the whole match, but it was King’s past that came back to haunt him. Mr. Stone walked down the ramp and yelled at King, causing the challenger to leave the ring and shove him, but that left him wide open for more clubbing blows and ultimately a pop-up powerbomb.

Match #1: Noam Dar & Oro Mensah def. Von Wagner & Mr. Stone The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Von Wagner and Mr. Stone have never been on the same page more than they have been right now, but it still wasn’t enough to trip up The Meta-Four. The chaos started early as all four Superstars brawled before the match even began, but thankfully an official broke it up long enough for the bout to begin. The action was fast and furious with Wagner showing off his incredible power, but the numbers game of The Meta-Four factored in as Jakara Jackson and Lash Legend distracted the official long enough for Mensah to hit a cheap shot and allow Dar to sneak in the winning pinfall.

Welcome to this week’s review of Nxt, right here on Nerdly. Let’s get straight into it and see what happened this week…
Match #1: Nxt Women’s Championship – Tiffany Stratton def. Thea Hail The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Tiffy Time will continue as Tiffany Stratton successfully defended the Nxt Women’s Championship in first-ever defense of the title as she downed the upstart Thea Hail. Hail gave it her all and despite the showboating from Stratton, she was able to hit her signature offense and even lock in the Kimura Lock. Unfortunately for her, Drew Gulak and Charlie Dempsey began arguing with the referee and the distraction forced the referee to miss the champion tapping out. Stratton capitalized on the mistake and managed to roll up Hail and walk away as the champion.
My Score: 3 out of 5 Match #2: Nxt Tag Team Championship – Gallus def. Malik...

Match #1: North American Championship – Wes Lee def. Tyler Bate The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
The Nxt North American Championship is staying with Wes Lee, but not after some shenanigans involving special guest referee Mustafa Ali. Lee and Bate squared off in the spirit of competition as both Superstars have been allies to one another in recent months, but it began to turn when neither of them could trust the actions of Ali who began conducting both quick and slow counts. Bate came close on several occasions to winning the title, but Lee’s championship mettle was too great as a well-timed and well-placed Kardiak Kick ended the contest and allowed the champion to retain.
My Score: 3 out of 5 Match #2: Malik Blade & Edris Enofé def.

Match #1: Wes Lee, Tyler Bate & Mustafa Ali def. Schism The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
The mystifying Schism was no match for the combined forces of Mustafa Ali, Tyler Bate, and the Nxt North American Champion, Wes Lee. The camaraderie of Joe Gacy, Rip Fowler, & Jagger Reid was on point to begin the match as they flexed their collective muscles to keep their opponents down and off-balance. The action broke down and it caused the official to miss Bate tagging into the match, but Gacy’s pinfall on Lee was broken up by a second official recognizing the error. Lee, Bate, and Ali used the confusion to their advantage and defeated Schism to put this terrible ordeal behind them.
My Score: 3.5 out of 5 Match #2: Thea Hail def.

Match #1: Santos Escobar def. Mustafa Ali The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
With LA Knight taking a close view of the action, The Lwo’s Santos Escobar looked to join fellow member Zelina Vega in qualifying for a Money in the Bank Ladder Match by taking on Mustafa Ali. Escobar and Ali combined for a highflying affair, with Escobar hitting a stunning hurricanrana using the steel steps as leverage. Ali showed off the moves as well, hitting a picture-perfect dropkick as Escobar was leaping to the outside. As the two continued to wow the WWE Universe, Escobar hit a huge Phantom Driver from the top rope to gain the coveted chance in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match.

Match #1: Ava, Rip Fowler & Jagger Reid def. Ivy Nile, Julius Creed & Brutus Creed The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Despite an incredible showing from Diamond Mine, the villainous Schism snuck out with a win in Six-Person Tag Team action. Early shows of strength from Diamond Mine were countered by sneaky tactics of Schism and when the action broke down, it favored the terrifying trio. Ivy Nile locked in a Dragon Sleeper on Ava, but Jagger Reid interfered, and the distraction caused the referee to not see Ava hit Nile with the signature mask of Schism and the sequence spelled doom for Diamond Mine.
My Score: 2.5 out of 5 Match #2: Blair Davenport def. Dani Palmer The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

Match #1: Weaponized Steel Cage Match – Gigi Dolin def. Jacy Jayne The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Gigi Dolin exorcised the demon that is Jacy Jayne as she defeated her tag team partner inside a Weaponized Steel Cage Match. Before the match could even begin, Jayne attacked Dolin and brutalized her on the outside before tossing her into the ring through the open door. The two former members of Toxic Attraction used a bevy of dangerous weapons including belts, chains, thorn-wrapped bats, trash cans, and even the cage itself. After Jayne set up a table, the two Superstars scaled the cage and found themselves precariously placed high above the ring. Suddenly, Dolin found her footing and launched Jayne through the...

In the final moments of the United States Title Match, Austin Theory attempted to use a steel chair against Sheamus, but the attack was quickly thwarted by The Brawling Brutes, which set up The Celtic Warrior to hit a whopping 25 Beats of the Bodhran. When Pretty Deadly attacked Butch and Ridge Holland as Sheamus was going for the Brogue Kick, the Irish Superstar began to dish out a second Beats of the Bodhran on Kit Wilson. As he did, Theory took advantage of the distraction and rolled up his challenger for the three-count.
