Tatum Paxley certainly has the NXT Women’s Champion Lyra Valkyria’s back, even for no reason.
The ending segment of the Jan. 23 episode of NXT was a contract signing between Valkyria and her Vengeance Day challenger Roxanne Perez. Earlier in the night in the women’s locker room, Valkyria was getting ready for her contract signing. Paxley appeared and said how great of a team they made. Valkyria tried to make her understand that it was a one time deal and that she doesn’t have the time to answer all of Paxley’s calls, texts, and emails. The champion clarified that all of her attention needs to be on Perez right now, a point she thought that Paxley understood.
The contract signing showed mutual respect between the two competitors, however, Perez is determined to become champion again. A championship she doesn’t consider that she lost as it was a six woman ladder match last year. Speaking of last year, Perez was champion this time last year when Valkyria made her NXT debut. So in a way it is a full circle moment.
Ava, as the new General Manager of NXT, conducted the signing, got her signature and wished the ladies good luck as she exited the ring. Valkyria and Perez shook hands which should have been the end. But as Valkyria was leaving the ring, Paxley crawled out from under the contract signing table and caught Perez by surprise by throwing her through the table.
Valkyria was horrified as this was not what she wanted or asked for. Paxley thought she did the right thing as NXT went off the air.
There were two matches on this week’s show.
Lash Legend def. Wren Sinclair Blair Davenport def. Karmen Petrovic
Both matches stemmed from what happened in last week’s Battle Royal. Legend would defeat the newcomer Sinclair who was really nervous about her singles debut. Backstage before the match, Fallon Henley would attempt to calm her down and give her some confidence.
After Legend picked up the win, all of Meta-Four would corner Sinclair in the ring until Henley made the save.
Lola Vice would be the guest on Noam Dar’s Supernova Sessions. Vice basically stated that her “friendship” with Elektra Lopez and that Lopez was nothing before she hooked herself to Vice. Lopez, who had been looking for Vice all show, has heard enough. She made her way out to the ring and collected up Vice. It turned into a brawl as Lopez launched into Vice landing into the couch that was set up in the ring.
The two will go one-on-one next week.
