Find all of 4 00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:23.160 your NXT news, recaps and analysis right here. 5 00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:26.239 So with that being said, we only have one question 6 00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:26.679 for you. 7 00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:36.679 Ah we thought, so let's get the show started right now. 8 00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:46.280 Hey, everybody, it's Jay again with your NXT review. This 9 00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:53.520 week emanated from the uh from the Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, 10 00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:58.520 Winter Park, Florida. This is the review for this week's 11 00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:03.200 NXT episode that aired on the CW on February eleventh. 12 00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:06.120 And let me tell you, there was so much that happened. 13 00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:10.959 This was the go home episode for Vengeance Day which 14 00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:15.719 is Saturday, and there was so much that was going 15 00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:18.760 on and I want to talk all about it, but 16 00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:26.439 first let me talk about Ricky Starks. So before I 17 00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:33.239 get into before I get into the event itself, and 18 00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:35.719 right before the main event, which was the cage match 19 00:01:35.719 --> 00:01:39.760 between Tony D'Angelo and Ridge Holland, which a lot happened 20 00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:41.599 with that one too. We'll talk about that later. 21 00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:42.840 We have. 22 00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:49.319 Ricky Starks come out. Now, he didn't say his name, 23 00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:52.480 he just said you know who I am. And then 24 00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:55.319 afterwards the announcers were like, yeah, we know who he is, 25 00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:58.239 but nobody actually ever said his name. So those of 26 00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:03.079 you that don't know who he is, Ricky Starks came. 27 00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:03.480 Out on. 28 00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:09.319 In the crowd with the microphone and basically said that 29 00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:12.639 he is now an NXT. Now here's why this is interesting. 30 00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:20.719 Excuse me, So, Ricky Starks was on the AEW for years, 31 00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:26.719 years back from almost when it started in twenty nineteen. 32 00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:30.800 And there's actually a lot of guys, if I don't know, 33 00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:32.199 if you know this, there's a bunch of guys three 34 00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:33.319 of them off the top of my head that I 35 00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:36.439 can say that besides Ricky Starks that have jumped over 36 00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:46.960 from AAW to NXT. Ricky Starks has been an AEW, 37 00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:49.520 like I said, for since since since almost the beginning. 38 00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:55.159 And here's the thing. For the last year, this guy 39 00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:57.319 who from what I've told, been told and I haven't 40 00:02:57.319 --> 00:02:59.240 seen him wrestle, but from what I hear, he's phenomenal, 41 00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:05.080 absolutely phenomenal and not no sight to AJ styles. And 42 00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:08.719 he here's the thing, he hasn't been on aw TV 43 00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:14.759 for like a year. For a year now, I've done 44 00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:19.199 some research between the episode on Tuesday night and today. 45 00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:21.439 So here's some of my here's some of the things 46 00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:25.120 I found out. Ricky Starks was on an episode of 47 00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:28.080 the Chris Van Vleet, the podcast, the interview that he did, 48 00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:34.319 uh the interviews that he does, And there's a possibility, 49 00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:37.800 now I'm not certain of this, but there's a possibility 50 00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:40.719 that the reason why Ricky hasn't been on TV basically 51 00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:45.080 since last year at WrestleMania was because Tony Kahan, the 52 00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:50.120 owner of a W, had a problem with him. Now 53 00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:52.919 he keeps saying he doesn't have an issue with him, 54 00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:55.039 but then again, he hasn't been on TV for a year, 55 00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:58.439 which doesn't make any sense because again from what I 56 00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:00.560 hear and from what I've seen from one or two 57 00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:03.120 matches that I've seen him in, he is absolutely amazing. 58 00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:10.479 So Ricky last year went to WrestleMania. 59 00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:12.719 Now he was. 60 00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:15.560 Told by Tony Khan that he didn't have a problem 61 00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:21.800 with him going to WrestleMania. However, again, he hasn't been 62 00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:27.439 on TV basically since then. On AAW Ricky says he 63 00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:31.040 went to see Jade, who he obviously Jade and he 64 00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:33.639 worked together in ae W and Cody and he worked 65 00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:35.959 together at AW and he wanted to see them perform. 66 00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:38.480 Why and why wouldn't he. I mean, this is WrestleMania. 67 00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:42.720 This is the biggest show in wrestling period in the 68 00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:46.399 United States, probably cross the world unless you talk Wrestling 69 00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:49.079 Wressell Kingdom and New Japan. But that's a whole separate conversation. 70 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:55.120 So it seems like Tony Kahn has had a problem 71 00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:57.920 with him now. He has been on the active roster 72 00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:01.319 for AW now since last year's WrestleMania, but again not 73 00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:11.560 being used then Monday, from what I heard in my research, Monday, 74 00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:14.839 he was taken off the active roster of ae W 75 00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:20.959 and along with Malachi Alistair Black, which who's who was 76 00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:23.560 who was in w W before and now he is 77 00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:26.319 a w It' is Alistair Black in w W E 78 00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:29.920 Malachi Black in ae W and now he's now he's 79 00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:35.519 free agent again and RUSSEV who also had a different 80 00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:37.439 name in AW but he was russe F and w 81 00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:43.120 W A now they put together from what I hear, 82 00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:47.959 they put together a contract with Ricky Starks after he 83 00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:52.720 was released from AW on Monday, really quick like within 84 00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:54.959 a day, and then he shows. 85 00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:55.199 Up to NXT. 86 00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:57.160 They didn't have any plans for them. It was just 87 00:05:57.199 --> 00:05:59.399 a here I am, I'm here just so you guys know. 88 00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:02.399 Which obviously, if you watch the episode, which you wouldn't 89 00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:04.399 be here most most likely you wouldn't be listening to 90 00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:10.560 me if you hadn't seen the NXT episode. He came out, 91 00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:16.480 he did his Ricky Starks things, and that was it. 92 00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:18.160 It was just an intro like, hi, here I am, 93 00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:21.600 this is me, b bae bye goodbye. So it's gonna 94 00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:25.000 be interesting to see how that plays out. Let me say, 95 00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:28.360 Ricky Starks could be if they wanted him to be, 96 00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:33.439 could have been main star Maine and Roster ready. However, 97 00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:36.800 most likely they want to have him do some work 98 00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:39.000 in NXT first before we came up. But I will 99 00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:41.879 tell you this, they will whoever whatever they call him, 100 00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:45.360 whether it's Ricky Starks or something else, they will immediately 101 00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:49.839 put him into the World title picture or the NXT 102 00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:54.680 title picture. And let me say this, it needs it now. 103 00:06:54.720 --> 00:07:01.480 As much as I hype the women's division on on NXT, 104 00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:07.560 the men's division, you've got Oba and Trick and then 105 00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:12.279 then you drop maybe Tony DeAngelo is close there, and 106 00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:17.040 then it just drops. The men's division needed a kick 107 00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:19.759 in the butt and and I think Ricky Starks is 108 00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:22.480 gonna give that to him for now they need more, 109 00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:28.079 but he definitely will help the process. Let me think 110 00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:30.480 about it. This weekend, Oba Femily's defending a title of 111 00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:35.279 triple threat match against nobody from NXT. He's defending him 112 00:07:35.279 --> 00:07:37.720 against an He's defending it against a town down Under. 113 00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:42.480 Maybe we'll see the split. Probably not between a Town 114 00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:47.040 down Under, Austin Theia and Grayson Waller, but Obafemi they pulled. 115 00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:48.800 They had to pull those two and to be to 116 00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:54.680 go against Obafemi, why like why why would they have 117 00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:58.639 to do that because the roster is so small. Trick 118 00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:01.360 Williams is doing a program with Eddie Thorpe. I think 119 00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:03.240 have a big issue with that Eddie Thorpe. I've already 120 00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:05.759 mentioned that. I'm not gonna say it again, so but 121 00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:09.720 Trick Williams is going his Eddie Thorpe. Tony's'angelo had a 122 00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:12.519 match tonight against Rich Holland, so he's nowhere to be 123 00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:16.600 seen for Vengeance Day. Most of the matches this weekend 124 00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:20.079 are like, you know, the North American Women's North American 125 00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:26.879 title match. We have, we have the tag team title 126 00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:30.720 match between Axiom Praxium and you know, well you would 127 00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:33.240 you guys, that's you've seen what happened on We will 128 00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:35.840 talk about on Tuesday. The Triple Threat tag team match 129 00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:39.080 which wasn't for the number one contendership, which ended up 130 00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:40.519 being for a number one contender ship. 131 00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:41.679 That was kind of weird. 132 00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:46.960 And then we had and then we have the triple 133 00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:49.759 Threat match for the world title. We have Trick versus 134 00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:54.600 Eddie Thorpe, and we have Javan Evans versus Ethan Page 135 00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:56.559 and obviously Ethan Page would put up in that top 136 00:08:57.039 --> 00:09:03.879 the top pedestal there. And that's Vengeance Day. Like again, 137 00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:09.120 there's like they're not very male superstar heavy in NXT, 138 00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:19.200 but they're hugely. They're hugely and the women's division heavy, 139 00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:22.360 which is which obviously is awesome. So let's talk about 140 00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:28.519 the episode aside from the Rickey Starks Bricky Starks stuff. Yeah, 141 00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:32.720 this was really this was really a great episode. There 142 00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:39.159 was so much going on. Again, we talked about this 143 00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:46.120 is from the facility in Orlando, Florida, Winter Park, Florida. 144 00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:49.600 They had this was, like I said, it was the 145 00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:52.320 go home show for Vengeance Day, which happens on Saturday, 146 00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:55.600 the fifteenth again, I will be doing a review podcast 147 00:09:55.759 --> 00:10:00.799 and from the snowy Northeast on Sunday morning. Snow again. 148 00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:05.000 And there were four matches tonight. There were four matches 149 00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:08.080 because of the Ricky Stark stuff. There was some other 150 00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:11.679 things between OBA and Etown down Under. There was women's 151 00:10:12.159 --> 00:10:15.559 Championship match stuff, and then there was a cage match 152 00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:17.759 which they have to you know, this is the performance center. 153 00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:20.159 They can't leave the cage up like they do in 154 00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:21.840 an arena. They have to put it up. So it 155 00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:24.960 took some time to do that as well. Okay, so 156 00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:27.519 here's some of the highlights. First match we had is 157 00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:32.039 Coora j a versus Bailey, which was a great match. 158 00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:34.600 Kora je Ad looked awesome. I think Bailey made her 159 00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:35.240 look awesome. 160 00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:39.879 She you know, she got it. There was an attack. 161 00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:42.399 Oh and towards the end. 162 00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:44.279 This is interesting, So towards the end of the match, 163 00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:48.799 Roxanne comes out dressed as Hugger Bailey. If you will 164 00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:51.559 go back to when Bailey first came up to the WWE. 165 00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:57.320 She was dressed in pastel colors. She had straps hanging 166 00:10:57.360 --> 00:11:01.240 down from her arms. So she came out acting like 167 00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:03.399 and dressed like hugger Bailey from the beginning, and of 168 00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:06.440 course Bailey did appreciate being made fun of, so she 169 00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:11.240 went out out of the ring to confront Roxanne. It 170 00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:13.919 was actually kind of funny to see how the hugger 171 00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:20.759 Baalley thing. So Roxanne was from the distraction. Cory j 172 00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:23.679 came out, gave her a double underhooked DDT on the floor, 173 00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:26.360 threw in the through Bailey into the ring, and Kory 174 00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:29.480 gave her another double underhookd DDT in the ring and 175 00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:33.039 picked up a win. Kora je Aide picked up a 176 00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:36.559 win against Bailey. That's not something small. That's a big deal, 177 00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:39.279 and you know, that's something to look to look at 178 00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:41.960 in the future. But it did because she did that. 179 00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:45.559 And this is weird how this worked out. So during 180 00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:49.399 the match, Ava whispered something in Julia's ear, who was 181 00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:54.120 backstage watching the match, and then after the match was over, 182 00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:57.399 Ava came out to announce that Korage Aid will be 183 00:11:57.399 --> 00:12:00.679 added to the NXT Women's Championship match to so this 184 00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:03.159 is making it now a fortal fatal four way match 185 00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:07.000 with Bailey, Roxanne, Perez, Cora Jaid and of course Julia 186 00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:14.000 is the champion. So I still think Julia retains. I 187 00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:16.759 don't see her losing the title until at least stand 188 00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:19.919 and deliver in April. We'll see how that goes. I 189 00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:23.799 don't force. I think Roxanne is gonna be moved up soon. 190 00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:27.320 I mean she so. 191 00:12:27.480 --> 00:12:30.200 Roxanne also then now has a match on Monday against 192 00:12:32.600 --> 00:12:38.559 what's your name Roquel Rodriguez uh for for the elimination chamber. 193 00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:45.080 I know that people are writing Roxanne Perez off against Roquel, 194 00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:48.720 but I see some shenanigans happening, and I would not 195 00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:52.000 be surprised if Roxanne ended up in the elimination chamber 196 00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:56.799 Allah Tiffany Stein last year, so that will be kind 197 00:12:56.799 --> 00:12:58.399 of interesting to see. 198 00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:02.759 So anyway they win her. 199 00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:05.039 The match was corge Ade, which you know again, the 200 00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:07.879 fact that she beat Bailey is no small fat, no 201 00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:13.200 small task. Then backstage you've got Soul, Ruka and Zaria 202 00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:16.480 talking about going to the beach, which I can't really 203 00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:18.720 see Sarria going to the beach of course, so Ruka 204 00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:22.679 for sure. And then Nikita Lyons, who God please, Nikita 205 00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:30.080 Lyons is She's not She's not entertaining to me at all. 206 00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:34.440 She her the way. 207 00:13:34.279 --> 00:13:40.360 She talks is thuggish. I just I don't really articularly 208 00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:43.559 care for her character. I like the way she works 209 00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:46.320 in the ring. The match between so then okay, so 210 00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:49.279 I'm sorry, I'm getting ahead of myself. So Nikita Lyons 211 00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:51.840 makes it known that she believes that Ruka so Ruka 212 00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:56.600 is holding Zaria back, and then ended up becoming a 213 00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:00.440 match tonight between Zaria and Nikita Lyons. So this was 214 00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:02.600 a pretty good matchup. We'll talk about that, you know 215 00:14:02.720 --> 00:14:06.200 when when we get to that. So, after that interaction, 216 00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:09.039 we had Oba Femi and Atown down under. So Oba 217 00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:13.159 Fami comes out to the ring most likely to give 218 00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:15.399 a you know, basically to give a glimpse to do 219 00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:17.600 his plans for Vengeance day, and Grace and Waller and 220 00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:22.480 Austin Theory and Grace and Waller Well and Alston Theory 221 00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:26.200 come out and they start basically jarring at each other 222 00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:29.399 like I'm gonna be the NXT champion. No, I'm gonna 223 00:14:29.399 --> 00:14:32.279 be the NFT champion, blah blah blah, and then they 224 00:14:32.360 --> 00:14:35.240 start play fighting but not really hitting each other. 225 00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:35.960 And then. 226 00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:40.960 Austin Theory goes to hit Grayson Waller and Grace and 227 00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:44.519 Waller ducks and hits Obafemi in the face and then 228 00:14:44.559 --> 00:14:46.720 they both start attacking Femi. So the whole thing is 229 00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:50.039 a set up. Duh, they're gonna They're gonna tease. 230 00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:51.600 This is the problem with this match. 231 00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:59.559 The match on paper is not bad, it's it's weird 232 00:14:59.639 --> 00:15:05.679 to me though, Like it's weird to have Oba and 233 00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:10.879 Grayson Waller and Austin Theory together because. 234 00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:11.639 It's really gonna be. 235 00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:18.759 It's really going to be a handicapped batch of sorts. 236 00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:22.759 I don't see the breakup from Atown down Under or 237 00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:25.000 if I if if I was gonna see the breakup, 238 00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:28.200 it wouldn't be on NXT, it would be on Monday 239 00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:30.360 Night Raw. And they just got moved to Monday Night Raw. 240 00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:31.279 Like they're not they're not. 241 00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:32.919 Gonna do They're not gonna pull the trigger on that, 242 00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:40.960 not now, not here. So anyway, they start ganging up 243 00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:43.639 on Oma Fami and you know that was pretty much 244 00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:44.080 the end of that. 245 00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:46.559 Uh. 246 00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:49.519 My prediction for as I'm doing predictions, as we go 247 00:15:49.639 --> 00:15:53.440 through the through the through Tuesday Night, my prediction is 248 00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:56.600 Oba Fami is gonna just beat the s not the 249 00:15:56.679 --> 00:16:02.200 snot out of both of them. Uh, They're gonna make 250 00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:05.879 it semi competitive, but ultimately all the family's gonna just 251 00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:08.320 destroy both of them, I think. 252 00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:11.039 So. 253 00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:15.320 Then we have Ednie Thorpe, who he challenged Trick Williams 254 00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:18.120 to a strap match. So last few weeks, Adie Thorpe 255 00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:20.000 has been coming out with a strap and whipping Trick 256 00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:20.960 Williams with a strap. 257 00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:25.440 So Annie Thorpe next in. 258 00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:30.759 Challenges Trick Williams to a strap match, which later on 259 00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:32.600 we'll find out if he accepted. 260 00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:35.440 I'm sure that there's a question that he may or 261 00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:39.399 may not, right, right, sure. Uh. 262 00:16:39.519 --> 00:16:46.240 Then there's a doctor that talks about Javon Evans and 263 00:16:46.559 --> 00:16:49.480 it's funny they talked about, you know how they've been 264 00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:53.320 trying they've been trying to make the process of of 265 00:16:53.399 --> 00:17:00.480 Javan evans jaw healing faster, like with but I'm in 266 00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:03.240 be twelve, Like I don't understand, Like what are we 267 00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:06.160 doing here, like which we're trying to speed up the 268 00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:07.119 process of healing. 269 00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:10.240 I don't think it works that way. 270 00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:15.160 However, however, Javon Evans was cleared, although the doctor for 271 00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:18.839 him was concerned that if he gets hit in the 272 00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:21.720 face that there could be some permanent damage and he 273 00:17:21.759 --> 00:17:25.440 could break again, and his jaw could break again, and 274 00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:27.920 of course Jovan Evans like, I don't care. I'm medically cleared, 275 00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:32.160 and so Avis has Javon's signed a waiver that says 276 00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:34.519 that that the WWE is not held responsible. 277 00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:35.640 YadA, YadA, YadA. 278 00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:39.200 Anyway, this is gonna be a great match. This is 279 00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:41.559 so Javon Evans versus Ethan Page. It's gonna be a 280 00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:43.680 great match. I think Javon Evans actually ends up pulling 281 00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:46.039 up the victory here. I don't think you go through 282 00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:50.799 all these weeks of you know, him getting killed, getting 283 00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:53.079 you know, the jaw thing. It's the whole thing with 284 00:17:53.119 --> 00:17:56.200 Centric Alexander, who's now not an X in NXT anymore. 285 00:17:56.240 --> 00:17:57.559 He's he was released. 286 00:17:57.640 --> 00:18:05.279 I don't know if anybody heard that. We'll talk about that. So, yeah, 287 00:18:05.359 --> 00:18:07.559 Javan Evans got cleared. There's gonna be a match between 288 00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:08.799 Javon Evans and Ethan Page. 289 00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:12.160 And I think, honestly, I think, you know, if if I. 290 00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:14.640 Had to guess, and if I was a betting person, 291 00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:18.599 which I only am sometimes, I think Jovan Evans wins 292 00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:23.720 the match clean. That's just my own personal opinion and 293 00:18:24.079 --> 00:18:27.039 have to see how that how that plays out. So 294 00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:30.799 we have a the third match, which is a triple 295 00:18:31.079 --> 00:18:36.519 threat tag team match between Josh Brace and Yoshiki in 296 00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:42.119 Amora versus No Quarter Catch Crew, Tavian Heights and my 297 00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:47.640 Miles Born and Hank and Tick. And this match was 298 00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:50.759 a lot better than I thought it would be. Actually 299 00:18:50.920 --> 00:18:55.599 was very entertaining, really good match. Okay, so Josh Brace, 300 00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:59.440 Josh Brace and yo Yo Kishi have not really had 301 00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:03.119 much much of a match at the XTAM, but they did. 302 00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:08.079 They Haigen Tank are really entertaining. These two were really good. 303 00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:10.559 Tavian and Milesbourne are really good too. It was a 304 00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:12.799 great match, like I said, a lot better than I 305 00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:16.519 thought it would be. Josh, Brazen, Yokish and Amura end 306 00:19:16.599 --> 00:19:20.000 up getting the win of the tag team triple threat match. 307 00:19:20.759 --> 00:19:26.960 So yeah, this so now, So after the match is 308 00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:30.640 over and they won again not a number one pretended match. However, 309 00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:34.200 Phraxium then comes out on the balcony and says, good 310 00:19:34.319 --> 00:19:37.079 job you won. Now you get a tag team title match. 311 00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:40.079 So now they're they've just made a new match. Three 312 00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:41.799 days out from four days out. 313 00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:42.400 From Vengeance Day. 314 00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:46.400 There's now made a match which is Phraxium versus Josh 315 00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:50.000 Briggs and Yakishi and Amora, and that should be a 316 00:19:50.039 --> 00:19:55.119 great match. I mean, listen, Phraxium don't put on bad matches. 317 00:19:57.039 --> 00:19:59.200 They they had a match last week against the Nema 318 00:19:59.319 --> 00:20:01.960 Brothers on TAM and I only I gotta, I gotta 319 00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:04.640 look it up on YouTube because from what I hear 320 00:20:04.759 --> 00:20:09.319 is a phenomenal match. But yeah, no, it was. The 321 00:20:09.720 --> 00:20:12.759 triple threat tag team match was amazing. It was absolutely amazing. 322 00:20:14.279 --> 00:20:17.240 Then we're backstage and we have the D'Angelo family in 323 00:20:17.359 --> 00:20:20.000 Stax and Toni le Sony D'Angelo have a moment where 324 00:20:20.039 --> 00:20:25.160 they squash their little arguments that they have the rest 325 00:20:25.160 --> 00:20:27.400 of the family around and they and the two two 326 00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:28.519 of them seem cool. 327 00:20:28.319 --> 00:20:29.119 Again with each other. 328 00:20:29.480 --> 00:20:32.839 The family is around, which is you know, all of them, 329 00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:34.880 and then also is he Dane is there as well, 330 00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:39.359 so I yes, she's kind of an outside part of 331 00:20:39.400 --> 00:20:43.039 the family at this point. Then we have an n 332 00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:46.119 XT Heritage Cup match with Lexus King versus j d 333 00:20:46.279 --> 00:20:51.279 C from TN. He's on the He's on TNA as 334 00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:54.039 in the System they're called this is a group called 335 00:20:54.079 --> 00:20:57.880 the System. He made his debut last week, so a 336 00:20:57.880 --> 00:20:59.599 lot of a lot of people coming in out of 337 00:20:59.640 --> 00:21:03.079 TNA and you know TNA NXT. It's almost like he 338 00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:08.079 said nxtn A right, so this was a really good 339 00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:12.480 match too. Ultimately, I don't I never saw them really 340 00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:24.279 giving giving a TNA wrestler any championship, So Lexus King 341 00:21:24.359 --> 00:21:25.480 ultimately did win the match. 342 00:21:25.799 --> 00:21:26.039 There. 343 00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:28.240 They did have the new quote new rules, which is 344 00:21:28.279 --> 00:21:31.680 basically regular rules. You know, Lexus King last week said 345 00:21:31.680 --> 00:21:34.519 that he was gonna stop rounds, he was gonna stop cornerman, 346 00:21:34.599 --> 00:21:40.440 he was gonna stop time, you know, timed rounds and everything. 347 00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:43.880 So ultimately Lexus King did get to win. It was 348 00:21:44.160 --> 00:21:46.599 a straight up wrestling match. Now, I guess it's basically 349 00:21:46.640 --> 00:21:48.720 this is a third title, but instead of a belt, 350 00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:51.559 it's a cup and there's no special rules to it. 351 00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:56.200 So anyway, it was a good match, very good match. 352 00:21:57.079 --> 00:22:00.319 Then you've got the NXT North American Women's champ being 353 00:22:01.839 --> 00:22:04.559 fallon Henley. She's walking with fatal influence and they are 354 00:22:04.599 --> 00:22:08.559 talking about strengthened numbers, and Colonie Jordan shows up, letting 355 00:22:08.599 --> 00:22:10.319 it be known that she wants to rematch, and then 356 00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:14.039 Jada Parker also enters and she comes in saying she 357 00:22:14.160 --> 00:22:17.759 wants a shot too. Shanty the Adonis then inserts himself, 358 00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:20.880 making a case for his girlfriend Karmen Petrovitch who wasn't 359 00:22:20.880 --> 00:22:23.240 on the show, but Adrian you know what's his name, 360 00:22:24.079 --> 00:22:27.039 Shanta the adonnas was which I thought was weird. And 361 00:22:27.079 --> 00:22:32.119 then basically it's just chaos and and Fallon Henley and 362 00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:37.200 Fatal Influence basically walk away and everybody's just kind of 363 00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:42.920 like arguing with each other, which is interesting. So the 364 00:22:42.920 --> 00:22:46.759 next match we have is Zaria versus Nike Nikita Lyons 365 00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:49.680 just set up earlier, which I had talked about. This 366 00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:54.799 was a really decent match. It was really nice for 367 00:22:54.880 --> 00:22:59.880 them to showcase and remind us what Zaria could really do. 368 00:23:01.079 --> 00:23:05.279 Like Zaria was, she was Zaria. She you know, played 369 00:23:05.359 --> 00:23:07.480 up the strength and you know, obviously she's a buff woman. 370 00:23:08.640 --> 00:23:12.200 She's a buff woman in Nikita Lyons is not a 371 00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:16.319 small woman. I'm trying to be nice. So it was 372 00:23:16.359 --> 00:23:19.160 really nice to see Nikita Lyons basically showcase her strength. 373 00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:22.559 And I'm waiting for Joan Grace to come on, and 374 00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:26.200 I want to see Jordan Grace and and Zaria have 375 00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:30.160 have a program together because that's gonna be muddy, that's 376 00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:33.960 gonna be money. I hope for Standing deliver, but we'll 377 00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:36.400 see what happens. But Ultimately, Zaria did win the match 378 00:23:36.759 --> 00:23:39.599 with an F five, which is I don't know if 379 00:23:39.599 --> 00:23:41.400 that if they're calling it that, but it's basically the 380 00:23:41.400 --> 00:23:43.480 same move bro that brock Lesner does, So that's what 381 00:23:43.519 --> 00:23:44.079 I'm calling it. 382 00:23:44.240 --> 00:23:44.599 F five. 383 00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:45.920 Uh. 384 00:23:46.039 --> 00:23:49.720 Then a short little interview with in the balcony with 385 00:23:49.799 --> 00:23:50.839 Sarah and. 386 00:23:55.400 --> 00:23:57.319 Sarah and Trick Williams. Uh. 387 00:23:57.480 --> 00:24:00.839 Trick, then of course he does accept shock of he 388 00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:03.119 does accept Eddie Thorpe's challenge for a strap match. 389 00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:03.480 Again. 390 00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:05.279 I think I said this last week. I'm not sure 391 00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:08.640 if they're gonna do it. They haven't. They haven't said 392 00:24:08.680 --> 00:24:16.240 whether they're doing a strap match, a strat match like 393 00:24:16.359 --> 00:24:18.519 four corners touch four corners, or if they're doing a 394 00:24:18.559 --> 00:24:19.920 strat match where you. 395 00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:22.279 Just pin the person or just you know, or get 396 00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:23.599 to make him submit. I'm not sure. 397 00:24:24.160 --> 00:24:29.079 But anyway, Trick Williams accepted the challenge to the surprise 398 00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:34.039 of absolutely nobody. And yeah, by the way, just well, 399 00:24:34.079 --> 00:24:36.960 I'll talk about this later. So we talked about Ricky Starks. 400 00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:39.680 He came out next. Again, we don't know what his 401 00:24:39.759 --> 00:24:41.559
