Niz Reviews NXT — page 4

We are live at the WWE Performance Center for this evening’s festivities. The announce team consists of Booker T, Corey Graves and Vic Joseph on match calls, Mike Rome doing ring announcing, and apparently no backstage interviewer is on site this evening.

Who is walking in to the show? Here’s NXT Tag Team Champions Hank and Tank wearing matching America-themed overalls. Next to arrive are Mike Santana and Joe Hendry ahead of their tag match tonight. Then we get a glimpse of NXT GM Ava, Evolve GM Stevie Turner, and Robert Stone likely discussing Ava’s thoughts on the Evolution Summit segment tonight.

The show opens with a look back at last week’s events. Stacks Lorenzo became Heritage Cup champion, Ricky Saints and Ethan Page continued their endless feud, Je’von Evans beat Tavion Heights and then was attacked by Jasper Troy, and Trick Williams retained the TNA World Championship against Josh Briggs before Joe Hendry showed up to attack. Jordynne Grace won the fatal four-way to determine the new challenger for the NXT Women’s Champion and will challenge Jacy Jayne at Evolution.

The show opens with promos from the four competitors in the Women’s number one contenders fatal fourway. Lash Legend, Izzi Dame, Jaida Parker, and Jordynne Grace let us all know that they individually will be winning and going on to the NXT Women’s Championship match at Evolution.

We are live on the CW at the Performance Center and your announcers as always are Booker T, Corey Graves and Vic Joseph. Mike Rome handles ring announcments and Sarah Schrieber handles backstage interviews.

Tonight’s show is all about the Women’s division, so we open with the champion Jacy Jayne narrating the story of how we got to tonight’s show. She beat Stephanie Vaquer to win the title and then a LOT of folks lined up to try to get the next shot. We’ll have four qualifying matches tonight with the winners advancing to a fatal four-way on next week’s show to determine the number one contender for the NXT title match at Evolution.

We are LIVE at the Performance Center.

We open with a highlights package from last week’s show , including the arrival of the Glamourous Era in the Women’s division, and the battle between Mike Santana and Trick Williams over the TNA World Championship.

Tonight’s show comes from the Performance Center. Our first walkup shot is Tony D’Angelo, who’s joined by his tag partner on tonight’s show, Luca Crusifino. The next shot is of NXT men’s champion Oba Femi, who is jumped in the parking lot by his opponent on tonight’s show, Jasper Troy. Troy slams Femi onto the hood of a car and predictably, the windshield shatters. The NXT Parking Lot has claimed yet another victim.

Then, Now, Forever….Together. Bret, Hogan, Savage, and Piper are on one of these slides together and it makes me feel woozy from all the…stories.

A Battleground highlights package starts the show, and includes the promo that set up tonight’s men’s North American championship match and the newly-announced women’s championship tilt. Let’s get at it.

Let’s have some arena walk-ups. Here are tonight’s challenger for the women’s title Jacy Jayne and her grumpy colleague Fallon Henley, and they run into the back-from-outta-nowhere Jazmyn Nyx. Up next is women’s champion Stephanie Vaquer who will defend against Jayne. We are in the Performance Center in Orlando, FL for tonight’s festivities and there are added Security folks surrounding the barriers as we open.

Then, Now, Forever…Together opening. It’s sweet, when you think about it assuming you don’t work at HQ.

We are at the SOLD OUT Yuengling Center on the campus of the University of South Florida in Tampa. We have some pre-filmed arrivals and first up is women’s champion Stephanie Vaquer ahead of her title showdown with next-to-arrive Jordynne Grace. Next to arrive are men’s champion Oba Femi and his opponent Myles Borne (who is flanked by the rest of NQCC, Charles Dempsey, Tavion Heights, and Wren Sinclair). Here is TNA World Champion Joe Hendry who will defend his company’s title on a WWE PLE for the first time ever when he deals with Hollywood Trick Williams.

Hey, so I’m Niz and I’m your new NXT recapper. I’m sorry in advance. Huge shoutout to Tommy for his work here and go visit his site often, you owe him at this point. Also, many thanks to Scott for the opportunity. I’m gonna try star ratings, please don’t yell at me because I’m not really inclined to rate artistry like that.
