WWE NXT RESULTS AND LIVE BLOG FOR MAR. 8
An angel’s kiss now fallen, descending scarlet cuts the sky. Faded names left on the wall honor the fighting, leave life to die. Remembered is the sacrifice but me? I’m just here to liveblog this pro wrestling show for you, folks.
The show opens with a video about roads and tonight’s matches.
Cora Jade & Raquel Gonzalez vs. Dakota Kai & Wendy Choo (Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Semifinals)
Choo and Jade to start, little back and forth, Wendy takes a nap and Cora tiptoes for the tag. Elbow drop misses, Choo wakes up, side headlock, fireman’s carry, airplane spin gets two! Armbar applied, Jade tags back in, Wendy rams her into the corner and tags Kai in!
Double teams, working Cora over at some length, targeting her injured arm, rolling reversals in a small package end with Jade going to the floor and Choo blasting her with a baseball slide! Kai and Gonzalez face off, Toxic Attraction do a run-in and kneecap Raquel to send us to break!
Back from commercial, Kai has Jade locked down in a Japanese stranglehold! Cora charges in, sunset flip for two, dropkick, nobody on the apron and Dakota tags Choo in. Jade throwing lariats, an enzuigiri, corner dropkick hammers Wendy but the cover is only good for two!
Kai back in, doubleteam facebuster for two, she gets away and gets the tag! One-legged Gonzalez cleaning house, looking for the one-arm powerbomb but she collapses and can’t fully plant Dakota with it! Team Kick, tag to Choo, tag back, Vader Bomb sets her up...
Dakota Kai & Wendy Choo win by pinfall with a double stomp off the top from Kai on Raquel Gonzalez.
Tomasso Ciampa cuts a promo backstage.
He says he’s going to become a three-time NXT Champion tonight and this one feels different, it feels like it’s for more than just the NXT Championship.
Tiffany Stratton is shown walking backstage and being observed by Sarray.
Cut to the Creed Brothers, writhing in pain in the parking lot.
Referees and trainers and Malcolm Bivens and Roderick Strong check on them and we go to break.
Back from commercial, we see a busy trainer’s room with the Creeds being tended to as Raquel Gonzalez hobbles her way in.
Fallon Henley vs. Tiffany Stratton
Trading wristlocks, Henley with an arm drag, she goes for another and Stratton blocks, fireman’s carry, a little back and forth, Fallon takes charge but Tiffany blocks a bulldog and catches her into a Samoan Drop! Only two, Henley overcomes her, Sarray runs in...
Fallon Henley wins by pinfall.
Post-match, Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen come down to celebrate with Henley.
We get a Chase University video package where he admonishes his students for screwing his entrance up last week and costing him the match but puts his boy Bodhi Hayward over for helping him out.
And so we go to break.
Back from commercial, we get a Carmelo Hayes barbershop vignette where he talks up his successes and sets up his Stand and Deliver ladder match defense of the NXT North American Championship.
He confirms that it’ll be a multi-man like the original North American title match, and Trick Williams lights on having four opponents and making them all qualify for the match.
We cut to Lashing Out With Lash Legend and she introduces her guest, Nikkita Lyons.
Lash asks if her mom was a groupie for just her dad or everybody, and Lyons says her mom taught her not to be judgmental towards everyone. They bicker, security comes to break them up and conveniently Legend says they’re out of time.
Imperium are interviewed backstage.
They say they’d never taint the honor of this great sport by resorting to underhanded tactics, and it’s a shame the Creeds got beat up in the parking lot.
MSK roll up and say if the Creeds can’t go, they’d be happy to take their spot and win the titles and give them a shot back when they heal up.
LA Knight makes his entrance and we go to break.
Back from commercial, Briggs and Jensen are hanging out with Fallon Henley.
Legado del Fantasma are walking behind them and they accost them and accuse them of attacking the Creeds in the parking lot, but they beg off, saying when they attack, everyone knows it. Legado suggest B&J did it themselves to avenge their tourney loss, but they say they couldn’t have because they’re the good guys.
