Welcome back to our weekly NXT recap!
First segment of the night backstage we have Lola Vice, Karmen Petrovic, and Sol Ruca reviewing Isla Dawn’s match with Stephanie Vaquer from the Mexico’s live events. Jakara Jackson and Lash Legend interrupt, throwing shade about who will be the next contenders for the WWE Women’s Tag Team titles, leading to Karmen & Sol vs. Jakara & Lash later tonight.
Carlee Bright vs. Wren Sinclair:
The Family watches from above, intrigued by Wren blackmailing Charlie Dempsey and his crew into joining her at ringside. Wren and Carlee lock up with Wren overpowering Carlee initially. After some back-and-forth diva’s era chain wrestling, Wren hits a leaping facebuster for two. Carlee responds with a second-rope dropkick, but Charlie interferes by putting Wren’s foot on the ropes. Despite Kendall Grey’s interference, Wren rolls up Carlee with Charlie’s help for the three-count.
Winner: Wren Sinclair
Kelly Kincaid sits with Thea Hail, discussing last year’s GAB title fight and how she has grown. Thea acknowledges Ridge Holland’s mistakes but emphasizes his integration into Chase U. She is focused on winning the title to inspire girls like her, despite Roxy being a significant hurdle.
Kelani Jordan is seen backstage watching a dollhouse video posted by Tatum Paxley which was shown to her by recruit Zena Sterling. Leigh Laurel is the other woman in this segment as she and Sterling help an “injured” Ashante Thee Adonis who smirks at the camera.
Karmen Petrovic & Sol Ruca vs. Lash Legend & Jakara Jackson:
Jakara starts strong against Karmen, but Sol hits a moonsault for a near fall. Sol locks in a sleeper but Jakara counters. Lash tags in and overpowers Sol initially, but Sol counters with a springboard X-Factor. Karmen tags in and gains momentum, but Lash and Jakara’s teamwork gives them the upperhand. Lash hits a backbreaker drop for the pin. Post-match, Lash challenges Alba and Isla to defend their titles next week at the GAB.
Winners: Lash Legend & Jakara Jackson
Roxy confronts Shawn, upset that Thea got a sit-down interview while she didn’t, expressing frustration over not receiving the recognition she deserves ahead of their title match next week.
The Women’s Tag Team Titles being defended in NXT will be a treat next week! Looking forward to this opportunity for Lash & Jakara, they looked great in the tag match last night so looking forward to seeing what they do with Alba & Isla. Thea vs. Roxanne feels like a foregone conclusion but I’m still looking forward to the match. Perez has been making magic in the ring during this reign and Thea is constantly determined to prove herself which should give us a great bout. Sound off in the comments below and see everyone next week!
