NXT in Orlando

August 24th is Heatwave, and the card is being set up. I have been away for a couple of weeks, so I’ve missed some things.

Vic, Booker T and Corey are at the desk with Mike Rome taking care of ring announcing duties.

The show opens with Blake Monroe (who has brought her Mariah May character, but with a name change) in the ring for singles action, facing Kelani Jordan. New Ref is Victoria D’Errico. Blake did a runner to get away from Jordyann Grace, giving Kelani the win.

Chase University ( Kale Dixon/Uriah Conners)in tag team action, facing Hank and Tank, who hold the Men’s Tag Titles. This is a title defence match. Champions retain, but Chase U gave it all they had. Of course, Dark State shows up to spoil things. (Not happy with Dark State storyline, but oh well)

Myles Bourne is in the ring for singles action, facing Alexis King. (storyline is Alexis swears that Myles is lying about his hearing issues) Myles took a real beating from Alexis in the end, but it was Myles standing tall for the win.

Thea Hale is facing Nia Jax. (No clue why Nia is down in NXT) This won’t end well for Thea. Nia’s last singles match on NXT was in 2016 against Asuka. Needless to say, Nia with the win. Thea gave it a good go, but Nia was too strong. Lash Legend is calling Nia out.

At Heatwave, it will be Jordyann Grace facing Blake Monroe.

Oba Femi is in the ring for a chat. Oh, geesh, here comes Trick Williams spoiling things again. Ja’Von Evans has now joined the chat in the ring. Moose from TNA just walked out. This changes everything. This is getting crazier by the moment. Dark State is out causing issues again. Holy Cow, Moose, Trick, Ja’von, and Oba working together cleared the ring of Dark State. Moose has a title match against Trick for the TNA title.

Yoshi has a singles match with Stacks, but he attacked Yoshi before the bell rang. Thanks to the help from Arianna Grace and Josh Briggs, Stacks gets the win.

Ethan Page, who holds the Men’s North American title, is on his way to the ring for a chat. (I can’t stand this character) Tavion Heights to the rescue. Chelsea Green just walked out with her secret Hervice. (defending Ethan) Mixed tag team, Ethan and Chelsea facing Tavion and a partner of his choice.

Main Event Time with Sol Ruca, who is the Women’s North American Title holder, defending against Tatum Paxley, who is part of The Culling. Thanks to the distraction of Lash and Nia, Sol, who took a beating from Tatum, steals the win.
