**************
And kick it shall! With the Great American Bash in our rearview mirror tonight we can look forward to a partial AAA invasion as three of AAA’s stars arrive on NXT. Also in that light, Karmen Petrovic is part of the new Perros Del Mal faction in AAA. We will see if she is on her own against Jaida Parker or if her friends are in the house.
But first, newly minted NXT Women’s Champion Kendal Grey made her way to the ring to address the NXT audience. Grey talked about her history from high school to Evolve. She said that she felt like the dropped the ball anytime she had a shot at the NXT Women’s title. She said that the title proves that she can hang with the NXT women and promised to wrestle like a champion. Grey said that she’s at home in the ring and everyone’s going to find out that they can’t keep up with Kendal.
Then, Grey’s BFF, Women’s Speed Champion Wren Sinclair came out with a little cake to celebrate her friend’s title win. Now, if you’ve ever seen wrestling before, you know that cake is going into someone’s face, but it wasn’t Sinclair. Kelani Jordan came to the ring instead.
Jordan said she deserves a shot at the title and mentioned that she was viciously assaulted by a lunatic at Great American Bash. Said lunatic was Tatum Paxley who rose from the crowd like the Great Pumpkin and chased Jordan to the back. Grey and Sinclair ate their cake, after having it.
The Scene then switched to backstage where Keanu Carver stood over AAA Latin American Champion El Hijo De Vikingo, holding a dreaded clanky pipe. Vikingo was clutching his knee as Rook shouted something about EK Prosper and Robert Stone screamed “What are you doing?!”
Hitting Vikingo with a pipe, obviously, Robert.
-Back from a break, Izzi Dame was backstage talking to herself. Then Zaria wandered by and Dame said that she wanted Zaria’s title too. Then there was a wierd synth riff heard from the women’s locker room.
Robert Stone emerged from his office saying he had to cancel the the AAA Latin American Championship match as Kelani Jordan stormed over. She complained about Tatum Paxley and a frustrated Stone said “Fine! You can fight her tonight in the main event!” Stone then stumbled into Keanu Carver and said that he was going to face EK Prosper in place of Vikingo. So, good night for Carver I guess.
NXT Tag Team Championship match: Vanity Project (c) (Brady Baylor & Ricky Smokes) (w/ Myka Lockwood & Jackson Drake) vs. Galeno & El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr.
Smokes and Baylor have their work cut out for them taking on the brothers from the legendary Wagner lucha libre family. Also Galeno is about twice the size of Baylor and Smokes put together.
Galeno started off against Smokes who was immediately thrown across the ring. Baylor called for a tag and shoved Galeno into the corner where Wagner grabbed a blind tag. He sent Baylor out of the ring along with Smokes and then dove on them both.
Wagner tagged Galeno back in so they could double team Smokes. Smokes managed to get a clothesline in, giving he and Baylor some momentum. Smokes went for Wagner’s mask but the ref warned him off. Vanity Project double teamed Wagner again for a two count.
Smokes knocked Galeno off the apron and then drove his knees into Wagner’s back. Smokes suplexed Wagner and grabbed a headlock so that the CW could come back from commercial.
Wagner made a hot tag to Galeno who ran in and cleaned house with both Smokes and Baylor. He laid out Baylor and nailed him with a big splash off the ropes. Smokes tried to help, but Galeno threw him back out. Drake tried to cause a distraction but Galeno ignored it and took it out on Smokes.
Wagner tagged in and nailed Smokes with an assisted dropkick. Baylor tagged in and he and Smokes hit a double team dropkick for a two count. Baylor tried to throw hands with Wagner, which didn’t go well for him. Galeno tagged in nailed him with an upside down suplex.
Wagner tagged back in and climbed Galeno’s shoulders to deliver a huge splash. Off of a distraction from Drake, Smokes made a tag and he and Baylor dropped Wagner with a double stomp to retain their titles.
Match Result: Vanity Project defeated Galeno and El Hijo de Dr Wagner Jr
Back in Robert Stones office, Birthright at OTM were both demanding Tag Title shots. Then DarkState wandered in and demanded the same. Then Legacy joined in the begging. Stone put them all in a fatal four way for next week to determine at number one contender team.
Mason Rook vs. Jackson Drake (w/Myka Lockwood & Brad Baylor & Ricky Smokes)
Vanity Project never left the ring after the tag match, so Jackson Drake was already waiting for Mason Rook when we came back from a commercial break.
