Join 411’s Live WWE NXT Coverage

Keep Refreshing For The Latest Results

Hello, everyone and welcome to our live WWE NXT coverage right here on 411! It’s Jeremy Thomas as usual, and tonight NXT deals with the fallout from the Great American Bash! We have new NXT Tag Team Champions in Tony D’Angelo and Stacks, while all the other champions retained. Tonight we’ll see all the follow-up on the PPV as well as Jacy Jayne vs. Lyra Valkyria, Eddy Thorpe vs. Dijak and The Schism interrogating their own to see if there are moles in their midst. SHould be a fun show as we see where the storylines will take us after GAB.

Here in the Thomas household, I’m still busy with my remote coverage of Fantasia International Film Festival. This past week I watched (and posted reviews of!) the queer revenge thriller Femme and Larry Fessendon’s werewolf film Blackout, two fantastic movies about time travel in Aporia and River, and the nostalgically fun documentary A Disturbance In the Force about the making of the Star Wars Holiday Special.

Outside of my Fantasia coverage, I also watched the Taylor Swift concert film Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions on Netflix which is quite good if you’re a Swifty. And my TV watching saw me finish Secret Invasion — which had some real issues but I enjoyed overall — as well as finishing up Dark Side of the ’90s season two. I began rewatching X-Men: The Animated Series on Disney+ which still holds up rather well and started in on season one of Canada’s Drag Race. There was a lot of watching this past week!

Anyway, we’re gonna have a lot to cover tonight so let’s hop right in.

As a reminder, the GoFundMe for Larry’s daughters is still active and if you can make a donation, that would be awesome. Thank you so much to everyone who’s done so thus far.

That finishes it.

Winner: Lyra Valkyria (9:25)
Rating: ** 3/4
Thoughts: Perfectly fine match between these two, who sold the bitterness between them. The in-ring was fine if not great, and Lyra getting the win was important to likely end the feud for now.

* Trick and Melo are talking about GAB, and Trick calls it Melo’s greatest performance. Melo hates that Trick took the shot for him and Trick doesn’t mind. Trick says that what he said last week stands; he’s gotta start doing this for him. Melo gets it, but Trick says he’s not a sidekick and Melo doesn’t think that but the fans do. Trick says Melo beat Ilja, and Trick has to get Ilja now and slay the Mad Dragon. Melo respects that. Trick says it ain’t a breakup; he’s just gotta be his own man. They hug and Trick heads off.

* Dirty Dom and Rhea Ripley are WALKING backstage.

* TRony and Stacks are being checked out backstage on medical when McKenzie walks up. Tony says Gallus are dead men walking and they want all of Gallus tonight. Stacks says that’s three-on-two. Tony says he’ll make a call to you-know-who and they leave over the medical official’s objection.

* Here come Dom and Rhea to the ring! Rhea shouts out “And still NXT North American Champion, Dirty Dominik Mysterio!” She says at the GAB, Dom proved he’s more of a man then Wes Lee and Mustafa Ali, as well as all the fans. Dom says that makes him the greatest luchador that’s ever lived, whith Rhea says is a fact —

And here comes Dragon Lee! Lee has a mic and he says he won’t let Dom disrespect the NXT Universe or his heritage any longer. Rhea calls Lee Rey Mysterio Jr. Jr. Lee says he doesn’t like Rhea and questions Dom calling himself the greatest luchador of all time. He says the fans don’t believe, he doesn’t believe, and even Dom doesn’t. He says Rey is the greatest, and Dom says he made the Mysterio name relevant.

Lee says Dom is only still champion because of Mami, and says Rhea has Dom’s cojones in her purse. Rhea says Dom’s cojones are greater then Lee’s, and Lee says prove it next week with his title on the line. Dom says he’s a fighting champion, and Rhea says she’ll be in Lee’s corner. Where her Latino Heat goes, she goes. Lee says he won’t be alone either — and Rey Mysterio is on the Tron!

Rey says he’s coming to NXT next week to be in Lee’s corner next week, the future of lucha libre. He hates to break it to Dom, but he’s gonna have the best seat in the house and can’t wait for when Lee takes away the NA Title. Dom and Rhea aren’t happy.

* Melo is backstage on the phone when Lee comes in pissed. Melo asks if he’s good, and Lee asks if Melo cares. Melo says save all that self-pity. Lee says he lost three weeks in a row while Melo is NXT Champion and doesn’t know what it means to be him. Melo says to calm down because he went to war. Someone else will step to the plate and Wes implies it will be him before Noam Dar walks in with his fake Heritage Cup. Lee says Dar isn’t NXT Heritage Cup Champion; it’s Frazer. Dar says Frazer never beat him, but Dom beat Lee. It turns into a scuffle before officials break it up.

* McKenzie asks Thea about getting emotional after her loss and she says she gave it everything she had and Mr. Chase threw in the towel. Chase says he had to and Thea snaps at him, then Baron Corbin walks in and says the interview is over. He tells him to apologize, she lost. Chase says he’s surprised he even got to watch the match. Corbin mocks Thea and Chase calls him a piece of shit and won’t let him talk to her like that. Corbin tells him to put on his big boy pants and do something about it. He walks off and Chase puts his hand on Thea’s shoulder, but she shrugs it off.

Eddy Thorpe vs. Dijak

Thorpe dodges a big boot and lays into Dijak with strikes. Dijak sends Thorpe into the corner and he comes out taking Dijak down. Into the ropes, high crossbody by Thorpe. He snapmares Dijak over and kicks him in the head. They trade shots, Dijak with a big clothesline for two.

Winner: Dijak (4:25)
Rating: ** 3/4
Thoughts: It was a short but hard-hitting affair. Dijak needed this win to have some credibility and Thorpe can take the loss, so I don’t mind this result.

* TOny is on the phone with someone talking about the attack. He says business is business and if they do this, they’re even steven. The deal is apparently made and the mystery man is on the way.

* Kelani and Dana Brooke are watching Dana’s match with Cora Jade. Dana says Cora took her to a dark place, and Kelani says that she went where she needed to. Dana says she lost it when she got her hands on the kendo stick and she liked it. Kelani says Dana’s a badass, and Dana says Kelani needs to find some aggression, call someone out and find the killer instinct.

Yulisa Leon & Valentina Feroz vs. Elektra Lopez & Lola Vice

Lopez & Leon start off and Lopez goes for a sleeper out of a waistlock, but Leon escapes. Leon rolls around Lopez and locks in a wristlock, eats a fist and then springboards off for a takedown.

* We get a TikTok of Tiffany Stratton doing her makeup as she talks about how Thea Hail pushed her and she wanted to give up, she literally could have passed out from the pain but it’s finally over after weeks of torture. She’ll be back next week and who knows what she’ll do? Her next opponent, a Tiffy-bration? She’ll do whatever she wants. Toodles!

Wes Lee & Carmelo Hayes vs. Noam Dar & Ora Mensah

Winner: Meta-Four (10:35)
Rating: *** 1/4
Thoughts: Very good match, though I’m not so sure about going into “babyfaces can’t get along” again so quickly after Ilja. At least the matches will be fire.

* Melo and Lee argue after. Lee is pissed but Melo tries to calm it down and leaves.

* Bron asks Von Wagner how he feels after last week. He says he’s watched Von’s story unfold over the past couple weeks and it’s touching, but he’s nobody just like his dad. He says Von’s soft like his dad and if he doesn’t like that he can come find him. But if he does, those picture of the scars as a kid will be nothing compared to what will happen when Bron’s done with him.

* Rhea and Dom are walking into the parking lot and Axiom walks up to them. Dom mistakes Axiom for Dragon Lee. Mustafa Ali walks up saying they need to talk. Rhea says he lost and he says he didn’t get pinned. Axiom asks what this is and Rhea and Dom leave during the distraction. Axiom isn’t happy about being disrespected and Ali says he’s been disrespected for six years and to worry about SCRYPTS or whatever.

Baron Corbin vs. Andre Chase

Lock up to star, Corbin backs Chase into the corner. He hits a kneelift and a blow to the back, short-arm clothesline. Corbin goes for another short-arm but Chase goes into a crucifix, Corbin powers out and takes Chase down. Chase with a roll-up, he goes up and over a charging Corbin for another rollup. Dropkick by Chase sends Corbin to the outside.

Chase follows to the outside but Corbin catches him for a DVD onto the mats. Corbin up on the apron as a dejected Thea and worried Duke watch. Corbin rolls Chase in and talks shit before following.

Chase with a suprise small package for two. Corbin grabs Chase — End of Days finishes it.

Winner: Baron Corbin (5:18)
Rating: ** 1/2
Thoughts: This was fine, nothing special. It was clear where this was going when Thea was clutching the towel early on. Curious to see where Chase U goes from here.

* We get a look at Roxy’s return to Texas for Great American Bash. She talks about remembering who she is and why she’s here, and meets with her mom, sister, and the rest of the family. They talk about Roxy and her mom says Blair’s in for an ass-whupping. Roxy and Wes go to the gaming con and then Blair shows up for their brawl. She talks about how the match is for every woman that Blair took out, and we get highlights from the match including Roxy’s poor sister looking like she’s going to need therapy. After we see her hugging her mom and sister and she says she’s done apologizing to anyone, and no one can break her.

* Meta-Four are celebrating backstage. Lash says do they realize what just happened? They beat the NXT Champion and most successful North American Champion of all time. Tyler Bate walks in and says has he won the Cup back? Ora asks if he’s been living under a rock and Bate talks about metaphorical rocks, and says he’s been on a retreat. Bate talks himself into accepting a Heritage Cup match without Dar challenging and leaves.

* The Schism are here and Joe Gacy says they’re in unfortunate circumstances. Conflict with new members is not uncommon but can be resolved with an open heart. But insubordination and disobediance are toxic to the roots and must be eradicated. Two among them have abandoned their values and pose a direct threat to the sanctity of the Schism.

RIp and Jagger say time is up, and Joe tells them to back down. They’ll do their due diligence. Ava says week after week the masks have been around but two of them put their hands on the Dyad and that’s unacceptable. They have to unmask one by one and they do, with each one being told to leave after they do. The third unmasks — and it’s Ikemen Jiro! Ava says Jiro isn’t a part of this and he leaves. Rip tells the third-to-last to leave and calls the last two down, accusing them of being the Creed Brothers and attacking them. They’re not The Creeds.

The Creeds appear on the Tron at the “beach.” They laugh about how they thought the two were them, and say the UFOs must have fried their brains. They lost the Loser Leaves NXT match and they’re gone, having the time of their lives. They change the backdrop to the pyramids and then Easter Island. But their favorite place to be is on the beach in Hawaii…er, Fiji. But they’re not in Orlando or even close. They take drinks and then come off the Tron. Gacy calms the Dyad and says The Creed Brothers are here somewhere. They tell the Schism Worldwide to bring then the Creeds.

* Last week, Cora Jade said she’s done and leaving after losing to Dana Brooke. She grabs her fanm ail and says she doesn’t need it. And she says the NXT women will need luck without her.

Set For Next Week:
– NXT NA Title Match: Dirty Dom Mysterio vs. Dragon Lee
– Bron Breakker vs. Von Wagner

Gallus vs. Tony D’Angelo, Stacks, & Santos Escobar

The brawl begins! Gallus is tossed from the ring. Wolfgang is in now against Stacks and we begin, Stacks with a leaping back elbow off the ropes.

Escobar kicks Mark on the top and climbs up — TOP ROPE RANA! Santos charges in for a knee drive! Stacks tags i, Bada Bing, Bada Boom and that’s it!

Winner: The Family & Santos Escobar (9:17)
Rating: ***
Thoughts: Very good main event match here, it’s nice to see Santos back and wild to think how much better it is to have him after his time in Smackdown. Fun match and a nice callback to the Family/Legado storyline.

* We get a vignette with Ilja who says Trick is the sole reason he’s not NXT Champion. Trick isn’t done with him and good, because he’s not done with Trick. His retribution begins next week and he won’t stop until Trick is entirely terminated.

And with that, we’re done for the night!
