After the May 16 episode of NXT we now know the four women who have made it to the semi-finals. One of which will go on to be crowned the new NXT Women’s Champion at Battleground on May 28.
First, Cora Jade defeated Fallon Henley to advance. The match opened the show this week with both women seeming a victory. The final moments of the match had Henley rolling Jade back into the ring which gave time for Jade to gather her bearings. As Henley attempted to get back into the ring, Jade chopped the knee which gave her the advantage into a DDT to get the victory.
Jade would celebrate her victory as she and Lyra Valkyria exchanged words standing by the championship belt. These two will face off next week in the semi-finals.
As one women’s match would open the show, the other tournament match was the main event. Roxanne Perez took on Jacy Jayne and came out with a victory. A former champion herself, Perez is determined to reclaim the gold. The final moments had her deliver Pop Rox to Jayne for the victory.
Much as Jade and Valkyria did earlier in the night, Perez met up with her opponent Tiffany Stratton as the two stood by the championship belt and exchanged words. This was cut short as Stratton pointed to the ring.
Gigi Dolin attacked Jayne who was left in the ring. The two would fight to the outside as officials attempted to pull them apart. Dolin screaming at Jayne.
There was a third women’s match this week as Thea Hail took on Kiana James. The women’s locker room was backstage watching the opening tournament match. James confronted Hail and basically said she wasn’t good enough to even be selected for the tournament. James participated but was eliminated in the first round by Valkyria.
The two would go on to have a match that had James come out on top after hitting the 401K.
We also saw an update from the NXT attacker from over the weekend. She took out Dani Palmer at a live event.
Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson had words with Noam Dar backstage. Legend mocked Dar’s talkshow and said how the only talk show we should be talking about is the original. Lashing out with Lash Legend.
Lastly, we had both Ivy Nile and Ava at ring side for the match between the Creed Brothers and the Dyad. Things started to get physical between the two ladies towards the end of the match.
