The Aug. 1 episode of NXT opened up with the rivalry between Jacy Jayne and Lyra Valkyria. After Valkyria failed to get a victory over the Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley, Ripley still told Valkyria to prove something to her and take out Jayne.
Jayne opened the show in studio as she grabbed Vic Joseph’s headset and said some choice words about her opponent. She continued to attack first as she attacked Valkyrie during her entrance. The two had a solid back and forth match.
The final moments had Valkyria picking up the win after a huge splash off the top rope.
A second match was dealt between Lola Vice & Elektra Lopez vs. Valentina Feroz & Yulisa Leon. Feroz and Leon were coming off a big win against Meta-Four at the Great American Bash. However, the official debut of Vice was too much for them as she and Lopez picked up the victory. Vice hit a roundhouse kick on Leon to get the pin.
Other women on this week’s show included Thea Hail throwing in the towel for Andre Chase during his match. However, the referee didn’t see it. She did this because that is what Chase did to her at GAB against Tiffany Stratton. Hail walked off afterward.
A vignette also aired to say Stratton who was not on this week’s episode will be back next week.
