NXT Vengeance Day (3/7/26) – Review (with Ratings) and Consequences

Tony D’Angelo defeated Dion Lennox (2,75/5)

What to retain? What’s next? Tony D’Angelo wanted to destroy DarkState; he did it. His final target in DarkState, after taking all the other members out, was Dion Lennox. The pre-match “Street Fight” worked pretty well, with OTM stopping the other members of DarkState. The men had a wild brawl. D’Angelo slammed Lennox onto the hood of a car.

After a referee kept calling for D’Angelo and Lennox to get in the ring, they crashed through the wall of the balcony at ringside, and the match officially got underway. The match was just as good as the brawl, with Lennox pulling out an impressive spot when he suplexed D’Angelo from the ring barricade through the commentary desk. Then, without the brawl, the match would have lacked luster.

WWE NXT Women’s North American Title Match – Tatum Paxley defeated Izzi Dame (c) (3,5/5)

What to retain? What’s next? The match of the night, without any doubt. When the storyline and the match make sense, the magic happens. I started writing about NXT when Tatum Paxley became NXT Women’s Champion. The depth of the character hooked me. She was fragile and strong at the same time.

Izzi Dame is a good wrestler, but not without Shawn Spears and Niko Vance being too far. Then, the right woman in Paxley ended up coming out on top by becoming the new Women’s North American Champion. And the match, a flurry of fast-paced and innovative action, was the exclamation point of a great storyline. The door is open for a rematch, probably with a stipulation.
