WWE NXT RESULTS AND LIVE BLOG FOR JAN. 10
As the water beads upon the window, turn the sad song up on the radio. The fault with me is a memory when the flesh moves on, but for right now I’m liveblogging this here pro wrestling show for you, folks.
The show opens with a Chase U segment.
Andre Chase promises everyone a fresh start with the new semester and assigns New Year’s Evil as homework, giving them an overview of the show and the questions he expects them to answer after.
Donovan Dijak vs. Tony D’Angelo
Wes Lee is on commentary for this one.
D’Angelo in control early, Dijak gets him on the floor and takes him and Stacks both out and we go to break.
Back from commercial, D’Angelo with a deep nearfall off a spinebuster, fisherman suplex blocked, Dijak with a kick to the midsection, front kick, Tony ducks an uraken and blocks a goozle but gets nailed by another superkick and a sitout chokeslam... NOPE!
Stacks begs Tony to let him sacrifice himself for him, D’Angelo tells him he’s not his boss, he’s family, kisses him and shoves him out of the way, and Donovan capitalizes...
Donovan Dijak wins by pinfall with Cyclone Kill.
Toxic Attraction are interviewed backstage.
They talk about how they’re gonna win the battle royal tonight, and one of them is going to go on to Vengeance Day and win the women’s championship. And if it’s down to the two of them, they’re going to win together.
Sanga makes his entrance and gets on the mic, Brutus is hot to have a fight, and Sanga says Veer Mahaan isn’t here and he’ll honor the match 2-on-1. Julius talks about not wanting to do that and Jinder Mahal attacks them from behind and they brawl!
Jinder wipes Julius out with a Khallas in the ring and gets on the mic, saying Veer and Sanga fight for respect, but he doesn’t.
New Day roll up on Pretty Deadly backstage to tell them since Creeds/Sher didn’t happen, they’re next in line, and the English horticultural lads run off pulling the curlers out of their hair (nope, not kidding) to get ready.
And so we go to break.
Back from commercial, Sanga and Jinder Mahal are walking along when Valentina Feroz rolls up to ask if that’s really where he is.
He says it’s all about him and his brothers now.
Some lady berates Feroz for not being all about herself and says she’ll find out in the battle royal later tonight.
Pretty Deadly make their entrance and get on the mic.
They say New Day think they don’t deserve a title shot, so they picked three of the best teams to prove themselves against tonight, starting with the Rockers!
Not those Rockers, of course.

Double team gutbuster, off the ropes...
The Rockers are eliminated by pinfall with Spilt Milk.
New Day make their entrance and get on the mic.
They say they knew Pretty Deadly were gonna do something like this and they’re not gonna let this slide that easily. If they want a title match, they’ll have to beat two actual top tag teams, and they’ve got two such teams!
Edris Enofe & Malik Blade are up next.
Enofe and Blade run double-teams, sending Pretty Deadly to the floor and us to break.

Julius Creed is backstage with Ivy Nile and he’s fighting mad. He wants to send a message and knock Jinder Mahal’s teeth down his throat.

And so we go to break.
Back from commercial, Carmelo Hayes is trying his hand at Apollo Crews’ journalling gimmick when Trick Williams rolls up in a lucha mask to disrupt his train of thought.
Tiffany Stratton is back with lots of flashing lights.
She gets on the mic and says we must have all missed her very much and every single woman in the locker room is sweating like a disgusting pig because NXT’s greatest superstar is back. She says she picked up the business faster than anyone else and she’s seen everyone fail miserably at replacing her, and nobody has her shine, skill, or style.
And now 2023 can officially begin, because the center of the universe is back.
We get a video package for Grayson Waller vs. Bron Breakker and we go to break.

Roxanne Perez is interviewed backstage.

We get a Drew Gulak / Hank Walker / Charlie Dempsey video package and we go to break.
Back from commercial, Axiom rolls up on Apollo Crews in the locker room to thank him for saving him last week.
Crews is all fired up about Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams, and Axiom counsels him not to let them get to him. Apollo points out he’s a numbers guy and there’s two of them. Axiom says he’s in and they go off to make some calls.

Charlie Dempsey wins by submission with a single-leg bow-and-arrow.
Backstage, Alba Fyre talks to Sol Ruca about the match they never got to have.
Fyre tells her she feels bad and offers her the match rather forcefully, and Ruca accepts. Alba realizes how abrasive she was being and apologizes.
We get a Tyler Bate vignette.
