NXT’s New Year started with a bang as New Year’s Evil presented a NXT Women’s Title Match. From winning the Iron Survivor Challenge, Blair Davenport earned a championship match against Lyra Valkyria.
Final moments of this match had Davenport set up the champion at the announce table. She went to give a knee to Valkyria, but the champ moved and Davenport smashed her knee through the side of the table. Once back in the ring, Davenport attempted a high risk maneuver but Valkyria moved and Davenport landed on her knee. This sealed the deal as Valkyria hit a finisher to get the pin and the win.
This had Valkyria celebrating but not for long as Lola Vice appeared and attempted to implement her Breakout contract for a title match. Before Vice could even get to the champion, Tatum Paxley jumped from the crowd to stop her. Elektra Lopez joined the fight for Vice while Valkyria helped fight them off of Paxley. Paxley still creeping out Valkyria got a stand offish vibe in the end.
Other match results include Fallon Henley defeating Tiffany Stratton and Roxanne defeated Arianna Grace bur the decision was reversed in favor of Grace
Due to Henley’s win, Stratton is now a farm hand for Henley due to the stipulation. As for Perez, Grace got in her face post match telling her she has issues. But Perez snapped, attacked Grace, placed her in a crossface until Grace rolled out of the ring. The referee then said based on Perez not listening to his instructions to stop, he has declared Grace the winner.
A locker room segment between Gigi Dolin and Cora Jade leads to a match between the two next week.
