WWE NXT RESULTS AND LIVE BLOG FOR JAN. 25
Got no silver for my pocket, got no pillow for my head and the winter it gets stronger, got to ease my aching head, but first I’ll liveblog this here pro wrestling show for you, folks.
The show opens with a loving pan down the Dusty Classic trophy and MSK hyping themselves up ahead of their match.
Jacket Time (Ikemen Jiro & KUSHIDA) vs. MSK (Nash Carter & Wes Lee) (Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Quarterfinal Match)

Io Shirai and Zoey Stark are backstage.
Zoey admits she’s not gonna be healed up in time for the Dusty and Io needs to find a new partner. Shirai is hesitant and says she doesn’t want a new partner, and Tiffany Stratton interrupts to be smug, leading a torrent of Japanese.
Legado del Fantasma make their entrance to send us to break.
Back from commercial, we get a Cameron Grimes vignette where he offers his boys Ben, Benjy, and Frank to counter Tony D’Angelo’s boys and says he’ll prove himself the toughest man in NXT.
We see Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams escorting tonight’s musical guest into the arena.
Legado del Fantasma are in the ring and Santos Escobar gets on the mic.
He tells a story about Bron Breakker’s upbringing and how his family are bad at math and how he’s been deluded into thinking he’ll be a big star. He prides himself in being real, a trait passed down by his father, and he and Bron come from similar backgrounds, which is why he doesn’t impress him nor intimidate him.
The truth is, he doesn’t like him, he despises him and how he’s been given opportunities and how he won the NXT Championship first.
Enter Bron Breakker.
He says his family taught him to attack things head on and tells Santos to shut up when he tries to interrupt, and all he needs to do is issue the challenge and he’ll accept it. Escobar says things are done on his time.
A video package for Solo Sikoa vs. Boa follows.
Boa vs. Solo Sikoa (Falls Count Anywhere Match)
Boa attacks Sikoa during entrances and lights him up with kendo stick shots! He goes to the floor and throws some chairs and a trash can inside, but Solo catches him with a Samoan Drop!

In a utility area, Boa smashing him into a stack of ladders, throwing small ladders at him and ramming him with them! Sidestep, ladder goes into a garage door and Solo throws it into Boa, shoulder blocking him through the steel!
Solo bails out of a fire escape and locks the door behind him! Boa yanks on the garage door chain until it opens, and Sikoa comes out with a fire extinguisher, blinding him! Taking Boa back to the ring, beating him down, wedging a chair in the corner, knee lifts and he smashes him into the steel!
Up top, Boa cuts him off and Sikoa crashes to the floor! Kicks against the announce desk but Solo picks him up and Samoan Drops him into the table! Up top... DIVING SPLASH THROUGH A TABLE! IT’S OVER!
Solo Sikoa wins by pinfall with a diving splash through a table.
And so we go to break.

Indi Hartwell and Persia Pirotta are interviewed backstage.
They bicker about Indi’s commitment and say that she’s training hard and they’re coming for the tag titles.

Toxic Attraction make their entrance to send us to break.
Back from commercial, Legado del Fantasma are interviewed backstage.
Raul Mendoza and Joaquin Wilde are fired up to beat Bron up, and Escobar says Bron Breakker will have to fight the two of them unless he can find a partner, and that’s unlikely because he has no friends. Elektra Lopez says Bron set himself up by admitting he’s the first one here and the last to leave, and maybe they’ll stick around late tonight.

Io Shirai wins by pinfall with the diving moonsault.
Malcolm Bivens cuts a promo saying GUNTHER is an awful name and he should have called himself DUMBASS.
This isn’t a new beginning for Imperium, it’s the beginning of the end, because the Creed Brothers are winning the Dusty and becoming the new tag champs, and then Roderick Strong is gonna chop GUNTHER down like the big Austrian tree he is, but now, the Diamond Mine are challenging Imperium to a six-man.
The Creeds and Roddy talk up how they’re gonna win.
