Nygma Says
This episode was all about action, and that’s all I love. Zaria may not have become the TNA Knockouts World Champion at TNA Genesis, but she now has a chance to become the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Champion with Sol Ruca. This new era of NXT is as exciting as it can be surprising.
What about WWE NXT Vengeance Day? No 2026 edition? Unless it’s the February 3 episode. I’ll see you next week as I keep on exploring the NXT world through the NXTNA “cold war.” Till then, may the Nygma be with you.
WHAT A MAIN EVENT!
WHAT A FINISH!!
ZARUCA GETS THE WIN!!! pic.twitter.com/NK8P5LgQxT
