WWE NXT RESULTS AND LIVE BLOG FOR OCT. 3
The language of the frost lobs dead balloons over ruins today in view of wan wordless crowds that chase waifs to spires with fiery plume, but me? I’m just here to liveblog this pro wrestling show for you, folks.
The show opens with a recap of No Mercy from Saturday.
Becky Lynch makes her entrance and gets on the mic.
She greets the crowd and says she’s still NXT Women’s Champion but also she’s not medically cleared to compete, but neither is Tiffany Stratton, because they beat the piss out of each other. She wants to give everything she has every time out and she expects the same of her opponents and Tiffany lived up to that.
She said when she won the title she wanted to elevate it to heights unseen and defend it everywhere she goes, and she sees the next big-ticket item is night one of Halloween Havoc, and she has a roadblock in front of her in the form of Tegan Nox, but she’s wondering—
Etner Lyra Valkyria.
She doesn’t mean to cut Becky off, but June 26, 2014, the day of her debut, was the first episode of NXT she ever saw, and she started training that very week. She asks Becky if she really knows what she’s done for Irish wrestling, and she remembers doing a show in front of 2000 people at the national stadium and heard the roar when Becky’s face came up on screen and that meant a lot to her.
She’s been able to push a bit harder and go that extra mile because Lynch was making impossible things happen. And all these years later, her career stood full circle tagging in the main event of NXT with her, but as good as standing side-by-side felt, she’s been wondering how it’d feel to be face-to-face.
Becky says she thinks Lyra is ready—
Enter Indi Hartwell.
She talks about having never lost the title and if Big Time Bex wants to go between Mondays and Tuesdays, then so can she. She talks up her history on NXT and says she’s back for the title she never lost.
Enter Roxanne Perez.
She says Becky truly is the Man and deserves to be, leaving NXT and becoming everything they said she couldn’t, so she’s not gonna talk accolades and accomplishments, she just wants to tell Becky she respects her so much she has to look her dead in the face and say she wants her title back and she’ll take it at Halloween Havoc.
Lynch says these are all excellent points, but she wants less talking and more fighting, and she books a three-way #1 contender’s match tonight to determine who faces her at Halloween Havoc.
We get an NXT Women’s Breakout Tournament video package.
Tyler Bate and Pete Dunne make their entrance to send us to break.
British Strong Style (Pete “BUTCH” Dunne & Tyler Bate) vs. Gallus (Mark Coffey & Wolfgang)
Dunne and Coffey to start, Pete gets the better of him, goes to the apron, gets distracted by Joe Coffey and Wolfgang lands a cheap shot! Quick tags, working BUTCH over, but he gets Wolfgang’s arm trapped and stomps the bicep! Tag to Bate, double arm wringer into double bicep stomps!
Bate and Dunne running hot as we go to break!
Back from commercial, Bate punching away on Mark, drop toehold puts him into the ropes, tag to Wolfgang and a cheap shot by Joe Coffey at ringside gets two! Dunne in, knee to the arm, Shining Wizard, Beats of the Bodhran! A plancha takes Joe out! Back inside, Mark sidesteps, big leg lariat connects, cover for two!

We see Lyra Valkyria doing pushups backstage.
A clean-shaven Ilja Dragunov walks backstage with the title over his shoulder and we go to break.
Back from commercial, we see Roxanne Perez working out backstage.
Ilja Dragunov makes his entrance and gets on the mic.
He says tonight you can welcome him as the Mad Dragon, as the Czar, as Unbesiegbar, but especially as your new NXT Champion. At No Mercy, Carmelo Hayes brought the fight, and what a fight it was, and he pushed Ilja beyond his limits again and again. Today he can barely even stand, but he stands.
Even in pain, he stands as our champion, because he promised he’d fulfill his destiny.
Enter Trick Williams.
He wants to get straight to business and congratulates Ilja on his victory, but he’s not out there because of that, he’s out here because he won his championship. Dragunov tells him he’s proud of him and they slap hands.
Enter Carmelo Hayes, limping and wincing.
He’s confused about Trick Williams out here hanging out with Ilja Dragunov, and says he appreciates the kind words but he wants to know why Trick is thanking Dragunov when he’s been here saying he believes in him this whole time and HE’S proud of him. They came up together, and winning the title is amazing, but defending it is a completely different level.
Williams asks if he means he’s not ready for Dom, Melo says that’s not what he means, Ilja interrupts before deciding it’s none of Hayes’ business because this is a conversation for champions.
Enter Dominik Mysterio.
Trick says he saw Raw last night and asks if Dom always takes orders from his Mami, and Mysterio insists he’s all man. Trick says he’s always talking about what Mami says, well mama says Trick’s gonna whoop that ass tonight! Dominik says he promised he was gonna bring the gold back to Judgment Day, and Hayes says it ain’t happening.
Melo warns Trick that Judgment Day don’t roll alone and he’s got his back, just like old times. Dominik taunts him about being in Melo’s shadow, Williams says he got this title by himself and he’ll defend it by himself.
Indi Hartwell makes her entrance to send us to break.

Bron Breakker runs into Carmelo Hayes backstage.
He says he can tell the frustration and rage is getting to Melo and tells him to use his frustration and rage and take it out on everyone, especially Trick Williams. Hayes won’t hear about it but Breakker pushes it and Carmelo is thoughtful.
Back from commercial, Baron Corbin rolls up on Ilja Dragunov.
He reminds him that outside of Melo, he’s the only person that’s beaten Dragunov this year and stakes his claim to the title.

Dolin attacks Davenport during her intro and beats her down before the bell!
In the ring, we get a bell, the attack continues, Blair pops up top and hits a double stomp to the back! Knees to the spine, Gigi sidesteps a senton and lands one big forearm!

We get a recap of last year’s NXT Women’s Breakout Tournament.

Duke Hudson and Andre Chase are walking and talking when they run into Thea Hail and Jacy Jayne.
