WWE NXT live results: Vengeance Day fallout
A big tag match headlines tonight’s Vengeance Day fallout edition of WWE NXT.
The main event of Saturday’s PLE saw Joe Hendry successfully defend the NXT Championship against Ricky Saints. Tonight, they’ll meet again as Hendry teams up with Myles Borne against Saints & Ethan Page. Page tried to interfere and cost Hendry the match at Vengeance Day, but a miscommunication helped Hendry retain.
Borne became the new NXT North American Champion two weeks ago by dethroning Page for the title.
Sol Ruca will be in action tonight against Lainey Reid. It’s happening one week in advance of Ruca challenging Jacy Jayne for the NXT Women’s Championship in a triple threat match that also includes Zaria.
A new number one contender to Women’s Speed Champion Fallon Henley will be determined when Wren Sinclair takes on Thea Hail tonight.
Plus, Jasper Troy, Eli Knight, and Sean Legacy collide in a triple threat bout. We’ll also likely get an appearance by new NXT Women’s North American Champion Tatum Paxley following her win over Izzi Dame at Vengeance Day.
Our live coverage begins at 8 p.m. Eastern time.
**********
In a prelude to tonight’s episode of NXT is a recap from last weekend of Vengeance Day. The follow up tonight is in front of a live studio audience at a sound stage from the Performance Center in Orlando.
Opening the show is the newly-crowned NXT Women’s North American Champion Tatum Paxley with an in-ring monologue. She is excited to be the new champ, and the studio audience chanted “you deserve it” for her. She credits them with winning the title, and not because of The Culling or anyone else. The fans reminded her to keep going.
Paxley says she won the title for “us”, and she realizes something about Izzi Dame. With that, Dame interrupts the monologue and throws to a video package recapping the journey of Tatum Paxley in NXT. It includes footage from her tryout and her turning on Ivy Nile in a previous angle from some time ago. Dame uses that to claim Paxley current persona is “just another mask” to hide herself as being a “weirdo” in NXT. Dame sarcastically insists she is impressed Paxley is such a chameleon, but Paxley will forever be the girl trying to fit in.
Dame says she hopes Paxley enjoyed the last few days “borrowing” Dame’s title. Dame warns Paxley that she wants her North American title back from Paxley. Dame steps towards Paxley, whose escape is blocked by Shawn Spears and Niko Vance of The Culling. Dame boots Paxley with a high kick and gives her a jackknife powerbomb. Dame then stands over Paxley posing with the North American title belt alongside, and she is flanked by Spears and Vance.
This whole segment would be better if they skipped the banter and went straight to the attack. An opening angle such as this is overdone in WWE. Speaking of something overdone in WWE, up next is a triple threat match. But first a skit from the men’s locker room.
— Ricky Saints is talking with Ethan Page in their locker room, and Saints is trying to give Page a pep talk. Page begins to agree with Saints their recent loses are a blimp on their stellar careers, an they will soon be back in title contention.
