Zaria feels the change in the air
Zaria said that NXT is different: “I’m standing in the middle of the Women’s division with no one holding me back.” No more fake friends, no dead weight, that’s how it always needed to be: Zaria alone. Now, the next level is the NXT Women’s North American Championship.
Current Champion Tatum Paxley came and said that she had already danced with the devil. Lizzy Rain came and said she wanted to add some “heavy metal” to the title. Nikkita Lyons also came to ask for a chance. A brawl erupted, with Zaria standing tall, the Championship in her hands.

It iz what it iz
Izzi Dame led The Culling to another massive victory, this time over the AAA Mixed Tag Team Champions, Lola Vice and Mr. Iguana. Iguana frustrated Niko Vance, but the powerhouse of The Culling managed to knock him out cold, which worried the NXT Women’s Champion. Dame proceeded to duck the ensuing Spinning Backfist and hit a Busaiku Knee strike to put the champion down and send a statement to the entire locker room.
DarkState back on track?
DarkState looked to be back on track after a big victory over Hank & Tank. Cutler James and Osiris Griffin represented the group in the match, but it left Dion Lennox and Saquon Shugars to argue on the outside. Once that was quelled, James and Griffin silenced all of the doubters by eviscerating Hank and Tank with a massive, high-impact powerbomb.
A STATEMENT win for DarkState tonight!! 👏
