The womens division from NXT and TNA Wrestling brought quite a battle.
The ShowDown event on the October 7 episode of WWE NXT continued its theme of brand warfare with a major womens Survivor Series-style match featuring NXT and TNA Wrestling stars. The women of both promotions stepped into the spotlight to prove which brand held the edge in one of the most talked-about matchups of the event.
Team NXT was represented by Jacy Jayne, Lola Vice, Sol Ruca, and Jaida Parker, while TNA sent Knockouts Champion (and NXT Superstar) Kelani Jordan, The IInspirations Cassie Lee and Jessie McKay, and Mara Sade into battle. Serving as the special guest referee was former TNA Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace, and that was an interesting piece to the puzzle.
This match went on second, right after the Hardy Boyz won the NXT Tag Team Titles. The two teams battled through a commercial break without any eliminations. Then Sade was able to eliminate Jaida Parker with a roll-up pin. As Sade celebrated, Sol Ruca took her out with Soul Snatcher to even up the sides. Then they went to commercial break once again.
Cassie Lee was eliminated next, and then Jessica McKay tapped out. That left only Kelani Jordan against the whole NXT side. At one point, Jordan almost had a pin on Jacy Jayne, but Grace didnt make the count in time. Jordan was then able to nail an Angle Slam and eliminate Lola Vice to leave her with Sol Ruca.
After that, Sol Ruca and Kelani Jordan fought on, and Jordan nailed a top rope Spanish Fly, but Ruca her knees up and hit the Soul Snatcher. Then Jacy Jayne jumped in to steal the pin to win the match.
We will keep a close eye on NXT and TNA Wrestlings working relationship as they continue. At this point, you never know what they will pull out next. One thing is for sure, it is bound to be entertaining.
