A couple of firsts took place on the Sept. 10 episode of NXT.
First, we have Giulia making her highly anticipated in-ring debut. Her opponent? Chelsea Green. Green had her moments in this match and even introduced Giulia to the announce table by tossing her over it! But Giulia was resilient and proved why she is the one to be looking at as the future of NXT. Beautiful Madness defeated Green after hitting the running knee and following it up with the Northern Lights Bomb to get the pin.
Giulia appeared a couple other times on the show. One, where TNA Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace caught the eye of Giulia as she was making her way out to the ring.
The second time was towards the end of the show when she was speaking with Ava alongside Funaki. The NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez interrupted and wasn’t happy that Giulia jumped the line for a title shot. Giulia said Perez was scared and should be.
Moving on to Jordynne Grace….this was history as the first time the TNA Knockouts Title has been defended on WWE programming. She issued an open challenge and who better to answer but Sol Ruca!
What a fluid and just fun match between the two. There was even a few times that left me personally thinking, is Ruca gonna take this? But in the end, the finish was deemed a DQ as the lights went out just as Grace was attempting to put Ruca away with the Juggernaut Driver.
As the lights came back on, it was the Demonic Duo who caused the bell to ring. Rosemary screaming in Grace’s face as Wendy Choo caught Grace from behind putting the Knockouts Champion to sleep.
Prior to this, a vignette aired showing the Demonic Duo’s partnership.
Ruca may have answered the open challenge, but this decision had the whole women’s locker room in a frenzy! Everyone was eager to take this opportunity, but this also ruffled some feathers. Especially between Fatal Influence and Lola Vice. Jaida Parker was also hunting down Fatal Influence with a baseball bat in hand but they kept dodging her after they attacked her last week posy match. Vice tried to say she wanted to help out Parker but she wasn’t having it. Vice vs. Jayne is booked for next week.
Tatum Paxley and Lyra Valkyria were at Paxley’s dollhouse backstage. Valkyria has a lot of work to do in reeling in Paxley and the two agree they will work together to take out Choo and Rosemary. That match takes place next week.
