On the July 4 pre-taped episode of NXT, Kelani Jordan made her official singles in-ring debut against Tatum Paxley. A match which she was accompanied by Dana Brooke and pulled through with the victory.
Jordan picked up the pin off of a Stunner delivered to Paxley. Post-match, Cora Jade came out to warn Jordan that any friend of Brooke’s was an enemy of hers. Jordan interrupts Jade’s promo and said she had another match in her and challenged her. Jade declined.
To start the show was a match between Blair Davenport and Roxanne Perez. Perez is still fuming over Davenport being the mystery attacker. She wouldn’t let Davenport make it to the ring as Perez attacked her during the entrance.
Davenport would come out with the win in this one. After throwing Perez in the steel steps, Perez was able to get back in the ring at the count of 9 and a half. Davenport executed a Falcon Arrow which Perez barely kicked out of. After two knee strikes to the face of Perez, she finally stayed down for the three count.
The third women’s match was between Lyra Valkyria and Jacy Jayne. Over the past several weeks, Valkyria hasn’t liked the games and the way Jayne has been talking about her. Valkyria gets the big win after a roundhouse kick. Jayne wasn’t down and out though and attacked her post match. She finished the segment by ripping up Valkyria’s feathers.
Following Kiana James dumping paint on Gigi Dolin last week, Dolin trashed James’ office with paint.
There was a loser leaves NXT match between the Creed Brothers w/Ivy Nile and The Dyad w/Ava. Surprising many, The Dyad came out with the win sending the Creed Brothers out of NXT. However, Nile may not be leaving with them.
Earlier in the night Nile had a backstage interview. The interview was interrupted by the NXT Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton. Stratton and Nile exchanged words including the fact that despite Stratton retaining against Thea Hail she did tap out. When Nile left, Stratton asked if Nile was gonna leave if the Creed Brothers lost. She was told no.
