Well, the January 21st edition of NXT came out swinging this week, let’s dive in!
Women’s action kicks off with Bayley stepping out to a warm reception from the crowd. She confidently declares that this is her home, talking about her long-standing connection to NXT and why she’s here to make an impact. But it’s not all love and respect. After Roxanne slapped her last week, Bayley’s not holding back any punches—verbal or otherwise.
Bayley takes aim at Roxanne, calling her out for trying to play the punk card and not realizing how much veterans like Bayley have given back to this division. It’s clear that the “entitled” attitude of Roxanne is something Bayley won’t tolerate, and that sets the stage for some heated exchanges tonight. But, oh, it’s about to get even better.
Cue the arrival of Giulia, who steps into the ring to show her respect for Bayley, declaring that she does look up to her despite Roxanne’s dismissive attitude. Giulia’s words strike a chord with Bayley, who praises Giulia for her historic win over Roxanne and shares her admiration for her.
But, of course, Roxanne and Cora aren’t going to sit back quietly. Roxanne storms into the ring, ripping into Bayley’s credibility, calling her past “service” to the division outdated. Roxanne’s all about moving forward, and she claims Bayley’s time is up. Bayley? She’s ready to prove her wrong.
The tension erupts into an all-out brawl—Bayley and Giulia attack Roxanne and Cora, setting the stage for a tag team showdown next week.
Karmen Petrovic vs. Jaida Parker
Right off the bat, Karmen uses some sneaky moves to keep Jaida on her toes, but Jaida quickly takes control with a powerful counterattack, throwing Karmen around the ring. The back-and-forth nature of this match was absolutely thrilling—one minute, Karmen’s on top, then Jaida delivers a brutal neckbreaker to turn the tide.
But the story here wasn’t just the technical prowess—oh no. It was the drama. Kelani, ever the opportunist, decides to get involved, distracting Jaida long enough for Karmen to sneak in a roll-up pin for the win.
Winner: Karmen Petrovic
Backstage, things are heating up, as Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson hype up their upcoming title match. With Naomi and Bianca Belair watching closely, it’s clear that the competition is fierce. The duo reflects on their big opportunity and their determination to bring those titles back to NXT.
Set For Next Week:
– NXT Women’s Tag team Title Match: Naomi & Bianca Belair vs. Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson
– Giulia & Bayley vs. Roxy & Cora
– NXT Women’s NA Title Match: Fallon Henley vs. Shotzi
