WWE NXT RESULTS AND LIVE BLOG FOR JULY 25
You’ve searching for your mind don’t know where to start, can’t find the key to fit the lock on your heart. You think you know but you are never quite sure, your soul is ill but you will not find a cure, but me? I’m just here to liveblog this here pro wrestling show for you, folks.
The show opens with a recap of Dominik Mysterio winning the NXT North American Championship last week.
Mysterio makes his entrance, flanked as usual by Rhea Ripley.
They get in the ring and on the mic and Rhea reaffirms that Judgment Day runs WWE. She talks about Lyra Valkyria—
Enter Wes Lee.
He’s not taking this anymore, and he hates seeing his title in Dominik’s hands. For 269 days, that title represented hard work and opportunity, and he put his heart and soul into it, and to lose it the way he did, you best believe he wants his rematch. Ripley says a new champion is exactly what NXT needed.
Wes agrees... that they need a new champion tonight.
Enter Mustafa Ali.
He says he has love and respect for Lee, but he’s got no love or respect for Dom for stealing the title from him. And that’s what he does, he steals catchphrases, his dad’s 619, his other daddy’s frog splash, and now Mustafa’s opportunity. He slips calls Wes a dummy for putting the title on the line and he’s honest about being angry and says he warned Lee not to take the match but he was too stupid to listen.
They jaw, Dom says this sounds like a “you guys” kind of problem and not a “Mami and Dom-Dom” problem, and he doesn’t care if one or both of them fight him at Great American Bash. Mysterio tries to cold-shoulder Ali, Ali tries to blast him but Dom ducks, Wes eats it and they brawl until they notice Judgment Day looking on, all smiles.
Tony D’Angelo and Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo are interviewed backstage.
D’Angelo says he’ll never forget the reaction the NXT fans gave him, and Stacks says they’re gonna win the tag titles.
Bronco Nima and Lucien Price roll up to talk some trash. Tony says Sunday is Sunday and he needs to shake some rust off, so he’ll see them later tonight.
Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams make their entrance and we go to break.
