The Nygma’s View

Jacy Jayne retains

Jacy Jayne retained the NXT Women’s Championship spectacularly by defeating both Sol Ruca and Zaria in a Triple Threat Match. The pace was frenetic, and that benefited Sol Ruca early on as she used her unorthodox style to gain an advantage. Zaria’s power and the presence of Women’s Speed Champion Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid were ultimate equalizers.

Ruca went for a Sol Snatcher but was met on the top rope by Zaria, who proceeded to launch her across the ring and bash her former friend into the mat. Jayne fell victim to a Sol Snatcher, but Ruca was yanked out of the ring by Zaria and hit with a devastating F-5 onto the floor. Henley and Reid managed to attack Zaria and distract her long enough for Jayne to cover Ruca for the win.

Tony D’Angelo, Ricky Saints, Ethan Page, and Joe Hendry

Ricky Saints thought Ethan Page would go for the NXT North American Championship again, but Mr. Ego wants the NXT Championship, like Saints. The two seemed to be on the same page. Joe Hendry appeared. He agreed that Page pinned him last week. Hendry thought they could square off to determine the true #1 contender. Saints and Page argued and attacked Hendry until Tony D’Angelo shut everyone up.

¡Viva Los Americanos!

El Grande Americano led his team to a huge victory against The Vanity Project thanks to his signature headbutt. Rayo and Bravo Americano lit up Ricky Smokes in the early goings, but only until Evolve Champion leveled him with a cheapshot. Their celebration was short-lived, though, as Los Americanos used their high-flying lucha skills to down their opponents and delight the crowd.

The Vanity Project didn’t stay down for long, but his Burning Hammer and 450 Splash weren’t enough to win the match. The official admonished Brad Baylor on the outside after he attempted to cheat, allowing Bravo to hand El Grande Americano the lead plate for his mask. Los Americanos isolated Smokes, allowing El Grande Americano to hit a huge jumping headbutt to secure the victory.
