NXT Matt Riddle vs. Cameron Grimes

Keep Refreshing For The Latest WWE NXT Results

Guess who it is!!! Man, it’s been a long time since I’ve donned the yellow and black. In fact, the last time that I did, I believe Matt Stryker still had a job, Daniel Bryan only ever wore maroon, Curtis Axel had a chip on his shoulder, and AJ had only made out with one person on live TV. Times, they have certainly changed…


What better way to start the show thn with my buddy Harry Broadhurst handling match 1 while I deal with an arrogant teller at the bank down the street?!


Match 1: Rhea Ripley vs Bianca Belair

Crowd split and ladies even to start. Neither gets an edge from the collar and elbow so they shift to a test of strength. That ends in a stalemate before Bianca strikes with a kick to the stomach.

They both try for a vertical suplex which Ripley eventually gets. Ripley tries to pull Belair up to the buckle but Bianca pulls her off and goes to a grounded full nelson. Ripley out and Belair with a vertical suplex for 1.

Belair goes for a leap but ripley dropkicks her out of midair. Punch blocked and a snapmare leads to a basement dropkick for 2. Ripcord clothesline follows and then a standing dropkick. Ripley locks in the Kondo Clutch but Blair gets to the ropes.

Sharai is there to hit a 619 to Rhea! She tosses her back in the ring. Belair with a spear! Pin for 1..2…NO!!! Oh shiiiid.

Io gets onto the apron to shout, and out comes Candice to stop that shit real quick. Rhea in the ring, she ducks from a kick and hit a pumphandle slam into a pin for 1..2…3!!!

Tony’s back.

Last week, Dream was viciously yelled at, and we get a recap of that. This week, we’ll get a triple threat for the North American Championship.

Dunne and Bate are walking around the campus like creepers. Dunne is asked about Killian and the fireworks from last week. He doesn’t care bout Dain.

Ciampa is in the same jail as Dean Ambrose, contemplating his stripping of the title. He speaks of regret and unanswered questions, of depression and missed opportunities. A package of his intense recovery and resurgence is juxtaposed with the title held high by Adam Cole. Ciampa is back, and he knows his why. Daddy’s home.
