Unbreakable DarkState
Dion Lennox and Osiris Griffin made a statement by defeating the team of NXT North American Champion Myles Borne and Tavion Heights. Saquon Shugars’ attack earlier in the night forced Lennox to replace Cutler James, and that allowed Heights and Borne to gain some early momentum thanks to their tandem suplexes and incredible athleticism. However, Griffin and Lennox weathered the storm and wisely isolated Heights, allowing them to hit a Doomsday Device for the win.
Tony D’Angelo won a battle, not the war
Kam Hendrix came dangerously close to winning the NXT Championship, but in the end, the night belonged to Tony D’Angelo. Hendrix wasted no time and nailed the champion with a Showtime Kick, but D’Angelo weathered the storm. The challenger attempted to introduce a steel chair, but Mason Rook prevented it, allowing D’Angelo to hit him with a big back body drop onto the announce table.
The Champion used the challenger’s incredible athleticism against him, using his own momentum to get him into position for a match-ending Dead to Rights. After the match, Naraku entered the ring, handed D’Angelo the NXT Championship, and bowed, signalling his intentions for a future championship opportunity.
NXT Review – Meanwhile, backstage
- Osiris Griffin wanted to know what happened, and he told Robert Stone that Dion Lennox is taking his place. Jasper Troy entered and had some words with Griffin. Lennox hit a chair on Troy’s back. Then, Lennox and Griffin destroyed Stone’s office.
- The Mr. NXT Pageant takes place next week.
- Zaria attacked Tatum Paxley backstage.
- Tony D’Angelo asked Mason Rook if he would be involved in his match. He replied that he should be in the ring, not Kam Hendrix. Robert Stone told Rook he will face Naraku next week. If Rook wins next week, he jumps to the front of the line.
- Nattie told Jaida Parker her performance last week was less than mediocre. Nattie added that she sees through Parker. She is not afraid of her, but she knows Parker is scared.
