NXT 2.0 – Oct 4

Become Ryan’s Wrestling Pen Pal

*Live from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, FL.

*Pretty Deadly to the ring for the State of the Commonwealth Address…they’re searching for worthy contenders to their titles…the Brawling Brutes interrupt, apparently they have social media beef & want to turn Tuesday night into Fight Night!

*Alba Fyre attacks Jacy Jayne & Gigi Dollin as soon as they step out of their SUV…Fyre jumps in the back seat & the SUV (presumably driven by Mandy Rose) speeds off.

(1)  Carmelo Hayes def. Oro Mensah…Mensah charges to the corner but Melo gets out of the way leaving Trick Williams to take the shot from Mensah…Mensah looks down to the floor at Trick just a little too long & turns around into a Code Breaker from Melo…Melo follows with the Sicilian Slice for the win (05:36)…AFTER…Melo joins the announce team for the upcoming Ladder Match Qualifier.

*Brutus Creed is in the trainer’s room, still getting treatment for the damage done by Damon Kemp last week…Duke Hudson drops by with some sarcastic words & it looks like he’s earned a fight with Julius Creed later tonight.

(2)  Ladder Match Qualifier: Von Wagner def. Andre Chase…Chase is enjoying the show as Thea Hail scoop slams Mr. Stone on the floor, but turns around into a big boot from Wagner & the Death Valley Suplex for the win (03:36)…AFTER…Wes Lee attacks Carmelo Hayes at the announce desk & beats him around ringside until multiple refs get between them.

*Sanga & Nathan Frazer chatting backstage at a monitor…Sanga says he hopes Frazer gets by Axiom next week & goes on to win the North American title…Frazer is very pleased to have the big man rooting for him & takes off…Veer Mahaan approaches Sanga as we go to break.

*Grayson Waller arrives & tells the “idiots” on the Security team that their only job is to make sure no visions of Apollo Crews come true.

(3)  Wendy Choo def. Lash Legend…Lash misses a big boot in the corner & gets her foot stuck on the top buckle long enough for Choo to kick out her other leg & hit her Nap Time Splash for the win (03:49).

*Wes Lee backstage with Kelly Kincaid…says that was a receipt on Melo for trying to crush his skull…Stacks interrupts, says Lee hurt Tony on purpose & his actions will have consequences.

*Gallus are suspended until further notice…but when they come back, they’re not just looking for tag gold…they put Bron Breakker on notice, too.

*Katana Chance & Kayden Carter promo…they had a long road to the tag titles & don’t plan to lose them any time soon.

(4)  Nikkita Lyons & Zoey Stark def. Toxic Attraction…TAG TEAM #1 CONTEBNDER MATCH…Zoey hits the Z-360 on Gigi & tags in Nikkita who follows with the Clam Slam for the win (10:30).

*Ilja Dragunov promo…the pain of giving up his title was even worse than the pain of injuring his ankle…at Halloween Havoc, the pain will be worth it to get his title back.

*Grayson Waller Effect with guests Cora Jade & Roxanne Perez…their rematch happens at Halloween Havoc…they will Pick Their Poison for their opponents in the coming weeks, with the entire WWE roster available…and their Havoc match will be a Spin the Wheel Make the Deal match…Waller decides to spin for them & it lands on “Weapons Wild”…Cora & Roxy attack each other…Apollo Crews pulls Waller under the ring & Waller emerges with his eyes red like in Apollo’s vision from last week.

*The Schism are disappointed in the rando in the red hoodie who was supposed to be handing out smiley faces for them.

(5)  Julius Creed def. Duke Hudson…Creed with a Cartwheel Slam & a Basement Clothesline for the win (00:53)…AFTER…Brutus Creed down to take out some anger on Hudson…

*Damon Kemp appears on the riser in the crowd…says if Julius Creed beats him at Halloween Havoc, Brutus Creed can have the rematch he wants…but if Kemp wins, Brutus is gone from NXT…Brutus accepts for Julius…Julius makes it an Ambulance Match.

*JD McDonagh promo…says his opponents don’t have a brain cell between them…he will let them tear each other apart & at the end of Halloween Havoc he will be champion.

*Hank Walker celebrates getting his contract with his Security buddies…Quincy Elliott warns him to beware of Xyon Quinn because Quincy may have pissed him off.

(6)  Xyon Quinn def. Hank Walker…Walker misses a corner charge…Quinn follows with a Flying Forearm for the win (02:16)…AFTER…Quinn is lining up Walker to deliver some more damage but Quincy Elliott slides in & gets Quinn to rethink it.

*Cameron Grimes approaches the rando in the red hoodie & tells him he doesn’t have to take abuse from Gacy…The Dyad attack Grimes…Joe Gacy finishes things off & welcomes the rando to the Schism’s Tree.

*Brawling Brutes are preparing for their match…Josh Briggs & Brooks Jensen wish them luck & want the first shot after they win the titles…Edris Enofe & Malik Blade arrive with a similar thought…the Brutes are off to put on another banger.

*Bron Breakker backstage with Kelly Kincaid…Javier Bernal interrupts, says it was stupid for Breakker to accept a triple threat match since that’s how he lost his title the last time…Breakker is insulted & says Javy’s mouth just got him a match with Bron next week.

(7)  Pretty Deadly def. Brawling Brutes…retain their NXT Tag Team Championship…Brutes hit their Roundhouse Kick/Northern Grit combo on Wilson…Giovanni Vinci & Ludwig Kaiser arrive to distract the Brutes & somehow don’t cause a DQ as Kaiser takes out Butch at ringside, leaving Holland to suffer Spilt Milk…Prince covers for the win (12:28)…AFTER…Edris Enofe & Malik Blade out…Josh Briggs & Brooks Jensen appear on the riser…they both clearly want a shot at the titles.
