During a crazy Falls Count Anywhere match, Saints accidentally ran into Troy backstage, and Jasper Troy took the chance to attack him. Since then, their rivalry has been heating up.<\/p>\n<h2>An Unsafe Meeting on July 22<\/h2>\n<p>It reached its climax on the July 22 edition of NXT. Saints went over the ramp due to a Troy offensive, which was spectacular, but was reported as a botch, s<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2025\/08\/08\/travis-scott-sudden-disappearance\/\" target=\"_self\">ince the two<\/a> men were supposed to fall at the same time. Next, Troy hit a senton onto Saints, after which he was counted out.<\/p>\n<h2>Troy\u2019s Challenge: Seeking a Decisive Victory<\/h2>\n<p>During his Tuesday promo, Jasper Troy directly addressed Saints, saying that he has dealt with people like Saints all his life, and h<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2025\/08\/12\/ashante-thee-adonis-wwe-release\/\" target=\"_self\">e did not feel<\/a> okay with the way he won, which was via countout. He vowed to settle the rivalry in the ring once and for all in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the hate is high between the stars, so the match ahead is bound to be full of action. The two men will have the chance to settle the score with each other. Will Saints be able to handle the resilience of Troy, or will Troy make his mark on NXT?<\/p>\n<p><strong><b>More From LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><i>Header photo \u2013 WWE \u2013 Stay tuned to the\u00a0<\/i><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\"><em><u><i>Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/i><\/u><\/em><\/a><em><i>\u00a0for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
