NXT Review – The Nygma’s View

Zaria on her own

A NXT review graphic
Zaria had to team up with Nikkita Lyons against Lizzy Rain and Tatum Paxley (WWE)

Lizzy Rain and NXT Women’s North American Champion Tatum Paxley teamed up for a major tag team win, all thanks to Zaria’s shocking decision. Rain and Zaria brought their vicious styles right to the middle of the ring, where their unique striking caused a serious stalemate. Lyons continues to impress since returning to NXT, but the dynamic duo of Rain and Paxley kept their opponents off balance. A fed-up Zaria decided to walk out on Lyons, allowing Rain to hit Thunderstruck and win the match.

Naraku is pure EVIL

The devilish Naraku took down Lince Dorado. Naraku was in control for most of the match. Dorado had some opportunities, but Naraku’s strength made the difference. Naraku connected with a boot and a running boot to the head. He then ran Dorado into the turnbuckles and hit a series of Fisherman’s suplexes. Naraku hit a STO for the 3-count. There’s definitely some evil in Naraku.

BirthRight prevails

Before the match, EK Prosper, Sean Legacy, and Tate Wilder prepared for their tag match. Legacy told Wilder to pick his spot. Wilder said he picked his spot. He will go headfirst into chaos and bring out the wild side. Dorian Van Dux appeared and said he is a week away from being cleared. BirthRight defeated them. If Tate Wilder looked ultra impressive, the adrenaline junkie was too prideful and wouldn’t tag in Legacy, leaving him susceptible to a double team attack from Connors and Stacks to give BirthRight the win.
