Meanwhile, backstage…

  • We met the new NXT talent, The French Luchador, Elio LeFleur.
  • Lola Vice and Kelani Jordan’s war is far from over.
  • Joe Hendry asked Ava for a no-DQ match against Dion Lennox next week. Ava had a condition: DarkState will turn the bout into a Handicap one, so Hendry needs friends with him. OTM agreed to support Hendry.
  • Fatal Influence reminded Sol Ruca that she is titleless.
  • Ethan Page met Myles Borne and EVOLVE talent Tate Wilder. Page asked Borne where he was when he needed him.

She has interviewed hundreds of wrestlers from WWE, MLW, TNA, NXT, AEW, and many more promotions. The Nygma is now the new “Authority” on TNA Wrestling and NXT for Last Word on Pro Wrestling.
