The February 3rd episode of NXT left me speechless. The show kicked off with an insane battle for the Women’s North American Championship between Izzi Dame, Kelani Jordan, and Thea Hail. Dame retained her championship.
The Elegance Brand also retained their Knockouts Tag Team Championships against Zaria and Sol Ruca because the two still can’t get on the same page. The issues with ZaRuca will spill into next week, as one of them may walk out with a big opportunity.
The long-awaited six-man ladder match took place to crown a new NXT Champion. Every man showed how much this championship means as they left everything in the ring. But the NXT Universe believed in Joe Hendry a little extra that night as he walked out as the new NXT Champion.
With a new champion, what’s next for NXT? What’s next for the friendship of Zaria and Sol Ruca? Keep reading to find out if these questions will be answered on the February 10th edition of NXT.
A Match We’ve Been Waiting For
It has finally been confirmed that next week on NXT, Jaida Parker and Blake Monroe will meet in the ring. The two women have been going back and forth for weeks, yet never had a match against one another. Now that will finally change, and we will see who can back up their words.
The issues between the women hit a boiling point last Tuesday when Monroe attacked Parker in the parking lot before NXT took place. Parker was left on the ground while security was dragging Monroe away. This match between the two will be intense, as they clearly have a lot of anger toward one another.
While nothing is confirmed, I have a feeling that this won’t be the last match that these two have against one another, no matter who wins. There is just too much that has happened for one match to solve their issues. But before we look further ahead, we need to focus on next Tuesday. Who do you think will walk out victorious, Blake Monroe or Jaida Parker?

Can ZaRuca Survive?
Zaria and Sol Ruca continue to have issues with their friendship and in the ring. Not being able to get on the same page has cost each woman championships and opportunities. The most recent one was last Tuesday, when ZaRuca lost the TNA Knockouts Championship match after Sol Ruca accidentally hit Zaria with the Sol Snatcher.
Zaria has been frustrated by Ruca’s success and opportunities, as she has been in the same spot for months. She even mentioned last Tuesday that Ruca got into the Royal Rumble match after NXT Champion Jacy Jayne called out Sol Ruca.
The new interim manager, Robert Stone, decided to resolve the issue between ZaRuca and WrenQCC while also crowning a number one contender for Jacy Jayne. Next Tuesday, ZaRuca will face WrenQCC in a tag team match, and whichever woman scores the pinfall for their team will be the number one contender for the NXT Women’s Championship.
This will be the ultimate test for ZaRuca. Will they be able to support each other as a team, or will they be fighting over the three-count?
A HUGE announcement from new interim NXT GM @MrStoneWWE 👏
