Welcome to this week’s review of Nxt, right here on Nerdly. This week’s episode has the fallout from the weekend’s Nxt Vengeance Day show, so let’s get into the review and see what happened…
Match #1: Zoey Stark def. Sol Ruca The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Not many Superstars have generated as much buzz in recent weeks as Sol Ruca has, but the fierce Zoey Stark made it a point to put a stop to all the chatter. Ruca started off hot, using her acrobatic offense to keep Stark off-balance, but a springboard splash went awry when Stark got her knees up. The ferocious Stark didn’t let up after that and after a series of strong strikes, she hit her devastating knee lift to put Ruca away. However, her post match beatdown of Ruca didn’t go as planned as the athletic Ruca...

Welcome to this review of Nxt: Vengeance Day, right here on Nerdly. This is the first Nxt livestreaming event, ever(?!) to air on Peacock but probably not the last for 2023… so let’s get into the review!
Match #1: Nxt North American Championship Match – Wes Lee def. Dijak The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Dijak promised that Hard Justice was coming, but Wes Lee proved himself to be a worthy champion. The bruising challenger was more than formidable, using his clubbing strikes and his size advantage to ground the high-flying Lee and keep the raucous crowd from backing the champ. Lee’s fortitude shined bright when he absorbed every brutal blow and dished out some incredible offense, highlighted by a twisting splash off the top rope. Dijak may have had Lee dead to rights on the outside, but Tony D’Angelo and Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo appeared and bared the brunt...

Welcome to this week’s review of Nxt, a New Year’s Evil special, right here on Nerdly. This is the first Nxt for 2023 so let’s get into the review…
Match #1: Dijak def. Tony D’Angelo The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
The Don of Nxt Tony D’Angelo and Dijak delivered a brutal and hard-hitting affair in their matchup. The Superstars fought inside and outside the ring, with Dijak at one point tossing D’Angelo into Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo, only for The Don to pop right up and hit a crushing spear. Dijak later managed to handcuff Lorenzo to the ring post, neutralizing him as a threat, but his High Justice chokeslam wasn’t enough for the win. Lorenzo wanted to sacrifice himself for D’Angelo, but The Don refused his efforts and took a big boot to the face that gave Dijak the win.
My Score: 2.5 out...

Welcome to this week’s review of Nxt, which has become more notorious for the R-Truth incident rather than anything else that happened on the show! With that in mind, let’s get into the review…
Match #1: Grayson Waller def. R-Truth The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
R-Truth was a few days off when he burst onto the Nxt scene hoping to be a part of the Halloween Havoc festivities last week, but the surprise appearance resulted in a match with Grayson Waller. R-Truth had the Nxt Performance Center jumping, but an awkward fall onto his knee outside the ring resulted in an injury that forced the match to be stopped. The injury didn’t stop the audacious Aussie from still gloating, as a hobbled R-Truth exited up the ramp.
My Score: 2 out of 5 Match #2: Kiana James def. Thea Hail The following is courtesy of wwe.com:...

Welcome to this week’s review of Nxt 2.0, which has an interesting epilogue that looks like we’re going to see a Major change for WWE’s third show… So let’s get into the review!
Match #1: Nxt Tag Team Championship Steel Cage Match – Pretty Deadly def. The Creed Brothers The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Pretty Deadly found themselves locked in with The Creed Brothers after the WWE Universe voted that the Nxt Tag Team Titles should be defended inside a steel cage. Determined to prove the naysayers wrong, Pretty Deadly immediately tried to escape the cage, but were dragged back inside by The Creeds. Julius & Brutus Creed thrived inside the cage, tossing Kit Wilson & Elton Prince around the ring and into the steel barrier. The Creed Brothers kept their heads on a swivel as Pretty Deadly took every opportunity to try and slither out of the...

In the midst of a packed weekend of wrestling we’ve got this special “unification” Nxt pay-per-view, which sees Nxt and Nxt UK brands take each other on to unify the two brands into one now that Nxt UK is being closed down. Let’s see how the UK contingent fare in this PPV (badly is my guess – a burial seems on the cards) that aired at a sensible time for us UK fans to watch live without dying of exhaustion the next day!
Match #1: Nxt North American Title Match – Carmelo Hayes def. Ricochet The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Walking out with T-Shirts of his former challengers waving in the rafters, Carmelo Hayes began the mind games early unfurling a new shirt with Ricochet’s name across the chest. “The One and Only” scoffed at the slight and took it right to “The A Champion” in a...

Match #1: Grayson Waller def. Apollo Crews The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Following their heated back-and-forth on the debut episode of “The Grayson Waller Effect” Apollo Crews and “The Arrogant Aussie” decided to settle the score in the ring. The two Superstars went back-and-forth as Crews took control with a thunderous clothesline and a dropkick while mocking Waller. Crews continued to roll until Waller poked Crews in the eye forcing trainers to check on Crews’ condition. After sending the trainers away, Crews rallied with a pair of enziguris and a flurry of clotheslines. Crews connected with a top-rope blockbuster, but Waller escaped and went for his rolling stunner,...

Welcome to this week’s review of Nxt 2.0, As I’ve said regarding Raw and Smackdown, we’re not going to see big changes to WWE’s developmental show yet; but the most interesting brand that Could see big changes is Nxt… Anyway, let’s get into the review!
Match #1: Nikkita Lyons def. Kiana James The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Kiana James showed no fear stepping to Nikkita Lyons, but her aggressiveness cost her as Lyons ran her over with a shoulder tackle. James recovered from the tackle and began to target Lyons’ knee, smashing it against the ring apron and steel steps. James continued to pick apart a wounded Lyons, but the rising Superstar roared back with a German Suplex and a corner splash. James tried to pull one over on Lyons with a rope-assisted pin, but she was caught by the referee and while she...

Welcome to this week’s review of Nxt 2.0, a show that – if I’m honest – rarely gets me excited to watch the programme these days. This week’s show was marked by the return of Zoey Stark during the 20-women Battle Royal! Let’s get into it.
Match #1: Jd McDonagh def. Cameron Grimes The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
The fireworks from last week’s heated confrontation led to a fiery showdown between Cameron Grimes and Jd McDonagh as the two Superstars traded fierce elbows and kicks before Joe Gacy mysteriously appeared to take in the match from above the ring. McDonagh targeted Grimes’ left leg throughout the match, wrapping it around the steel post before leveling Grimes with a chop block. Grimes attempted to rally on one good leg, but “The Irish Ace” caught him with a Glasgow Kiss before hanging Grimes up in the ropes for repeated kicks to the leg.
