Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s coverage of "WWE NXT!" We are coming to you from "NXT's" home at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, for Week 2 of "NXT Revenge." Week One saw Lola Vice defend her "NXT" Women's Championship against former titleholder Jacy Jayne, while Tony D'Angelo defended his "NXT" Champion against Ethan Page. What will Week Two have in store for WWE's hottest new upstarts?After having his concert interrupted during "NXT Revenge" Week One, Joe Hendry is looking to get some payback on the indomitable Keanu Carver. Hendry might have lost his "NXT" Championship to new titleholder D'Angelo at "Stand and Deliver," but he is not letting the loss slow him down. Will Hendry's infectious optimism lead him to rebuild his standing in "NXT" at Carver's expense, or will the indestructable Carver blow through Hendry, just like he did to Jasper Troy and Josh Briggs?EK Prosperr has made a splash in the "NXT" scene following his win over Dorian Van Dux in the first round of the ongoing "WWE Speed" Championship tournament. Now, he faces Lexis King, who defeated WWE ID Champion Chazz "Starboy" Hall to progress to tournament finals. Will Prosperr be able to usurp the King for the WWE Speed title, or does the former "NXT" Heritage Cup holder and Birthright stable leader have a nefarious plan in store to steal the victory?Myles Borne is unafraid of DarkState after a tense confrontation during "NXT Revenge" Week One! Tonight, he will put his "NXT" North American Championship up against the de-facto DarkState leader (or, is he?), Dion Lennox. Will Borne be able to survive Lennox and DarkState's nefarious plans, or will the once-dominant "NXT" faction continue to splinter?Even with "Stand and Deliver" in the rear view mirror,it seems that Blake Monroe is not done with Tatum Paxley. Even after coming up short against the "NXT" Women's North American Champion at "Stand and Deliver," Blake Monroe has not yielded in her pursuit for her beloved title back. Paxley, however, seems more than willing to put this feud to rest permanently. Monroe and Paxley will clash in a Casket Match for Paxley's title tonight!On the topic of "Stand and Deliver" holdovers,Zaria and Sol Ruca just cannot keep their hands off of each other. While this Last Woman Standing match has been on the "NXT Revenge" Week Two card for a while, things between Zaria and Ruca could not possibly be worse not after the events of Monday's episode of "WWE Raw," where Zaria cost Ruca a win in her official main roster call-up match. Zaria and Ruca have been at war for months. Can they settle things, once and for all, in tonight's match at "NXT Revenge?"And we're live in Orlando, Florida! We are joined by the intrepid Vic Joseph and Booker T.
Dion Lennox (with DarkState) and Myles Borne open the show! Both men make their entrances.Lennox hoists Borne up with a Spinebuster as soon as the bell rings! Lennox remains in control as Borne goes into one corner, then the next. A big Clothesline and Dropkick, however, puts Borne back into the fight. A slugfest between the two competitors ends in a Northern Lights Suplex from Lennox that puts the champion on notice.Lennox wears Borne down, but Borne responds with a high-impact Powerslam. Lennox goes to the outside to recuperate, but Borne looks to fly up and over, and onto DarkState! Borne gets Lennox back in the ring, but DarkState surround the champion like hungry hyenas. The distraction is enough for Lennox to flatten Borne with a Clothesline, before lifting up the ring apron. He's not looking for a weapon: the iron undercarriage of the ringis the weapon, and Borne is going spine-first into exposed metal!After a bit of wailing on the champion, Borne leaps up and over Lennox to disrupt the DarkState member's rhythm. He barely scores a flash pin on Lennox, however, as Lennox comesback with a vengeance. He scores a near-fall on the champion, before tossing him to DarkState's hungry members as he distracts the referee! Borne is on wobbly feet as Lennox drives him head-first into the apron, but the champion, known for his heart, refuses to yield.That Calf Crusher from Lennox looks nothing short of excruciating. Borne, however, manages to break out of it by slamming Lennox's head into the canvas, and even with a bad back, proceeds to put the challenger under pressure with a comeback sequence! His success is short-lived, however, as Lennox uses Borne's building momentum to banish him to the outside, where Lennox pins him against the steel steps for a big move...and Borne dodges to send Lennox's foot into the steel steps! Lennox is only temporarily phased if anything, he might have been angrier. He hoists Borne up and lays him out back-first against the steel steps!It's yet another slugfest between these two bitter rivals, but while Lennox thought he had the job done with a rope-hung, ricochet Sit-Out Powerbomb, Borne astonishes all by kicking out! Another attempted Slam sees Borne land on his feet, and when Lennox looks to hoist him up again, Borne shocks all by laying him out with a DDT! The champion is on a roll now, but even after slamming Lennox over his knee, Lennox stays in the fight!It's precarious on the top rope, and Borne now knows that reality too well. Saquon Shugars first attempted to knock him from his third-rope perch, but Lennox is the one to actually knock Borne crotch-first into the turnbuckle. The two of them come crashing down, only to continue their exchange of slow, painful punches.DarkState is scheming on the outside. Shugars leaps to the apron and distracts the referee as Cutler James looks for Borne Again. In a shocking turn of events, however, Borne manages to knock Lennox into Shugars, and the chaos between DarkState is enough for Borne to connect with Borne Again for the victory!Winner (and still the "NXT" North American Champion): Myles Borne!
After a brief segment between Blake Monroe and The Vanity Project, Hendry and Carver come out for their match. It's no smiles from Joe as he makes his entrance.Hendry comes out hot! He gets Carver in the corner with some fierce chops, and manages to outsmart the young, inexperienced wrestler as he grounds him with a Knee Block. It doesn't keep Carver down if anything, it makes him angrier. Carver chokes Hendry back into the corner before driving him in between the ropes with his shoulder. It's Carver's game now, as Hendry crumbles over, and over as he is Irish Whipped across the ring.Hendry's back cannot feel great, as Carver hoists him up for a Torture Rack! Hendry manages to squirm out of Carver's grasp and trip him into the ropes, but Carver becomes even more irate as Hendry spills him to the outside. We then cut to commercial as Carver paces back and forth.The vitriol between these two men has spilled to the outside! Despite some solid shots from Hendry, Carver maintains control, and tosses Hendry into the crowd barricade and the steel steps like a ragdoll. Back inside the ring, Carver attempts to hoist Hendry up, but Hendry responds with two flash pin combinations. Hendry manages to pump the brakes on Carver's momentum with a fierce Neckbreaker and DDT combo, but Carver refuses to stay down for longer than two!Hendry attempts to hoist Carver up, but all it does is invite Carver to drive him in between the turnbuckle once more. Carver manages to get Hendry on the ground and in a headlock as we come back from commercial.Do you believe in the resiliency of the human spirit? Hendry does, as he manages to fight out of Carver's viper-strong grip...only to get Suplexed across the ring. Carver continues to lay the pain on the former "NXT" Champion who is slow to his feet as Carver hoists him up and down for an over-the-knee Backbreaker.A shoulder-first trip into the steel post just might be what Hendry needs! As Carver is shaken off of his momentum, Hendry stages an impressive comeback, punctuated with a Fallaway Slam! He riles the crowd up for his iconic turn, and...he is Clotheslined by Carver. Carver follows it up with a Spinebuster and some falling Elbows, and it is utterly grotesque as Carver continues to pummel Hendry again, and again, and again. The referee calls off the match and wrestles Carver off of the unconscious Hendry, as another referee enters the ring in an attempt to separate the two men.Winner: KeanuCarver!
We get a video package for a new "NXT" debut set for next week, as Orlando gets hype for the heavy metal rockstar herself,Lizzy Rain! Lexis King makes his entrance next, alongside Birthright.Entrances are done, and the bell has rung! Prosper wrestles absolute circles around King, who is struggling to keep up with the high-flying Prosper. Prosper lays King out with a Springboard Leg Drop over the back of his neck, and King is forced to head to the outside to recuperate.Prosper looks for the top-ropeSuicide Dive, but you can't hurt a lady! He's forced to abort as BirthRight pull TNA Knockouts Champion Arianna Grace in front of them. This allows King to stage an impressive comeback with a second-rope Double Stomp on a rope-hung Prosper, but Prosper refuses to yield. He fights back with some impressive chops and what looks to be a Running Bronco Buster but honestly, Prosper is just moving too fast to tell!King is getting fed up as Prosper continues to kick out, even after a nasty over-the-knee BackBreaker. His hesitancy, however, allows for Prosper to come back with anEnzuigiri before he absolutely flattens King with a Belly to Back Suplex into the corner! He attempts to follow up with a top-rope dive, but King knocks him down. Both men are on the apron, and it is a long way down, as King learns from a slam back-first onto the apron! Prosper gets the top-rope dive he was looking for as he takes out BirthRight, only to be distracted by a slap from Ariana Grace! The distraction is enough for King to hit a Superkick/Coronation combo to score the victory, in a major upset!Winner (and new "WWE Speed" Champion): Lexis King!
Both women make their entrance, and the stipulation is explained: the only way to win is to place your opponent in the ringside casket, and close the lid shut. Monroe discards her blazer to reveal a simple black tank top, while Paxley removes her funerary veil.The match is underway, and Monroe nearly falls into the Casket after being tossed over the ropes by Paxley! Paxley looks strong in the opening of the match, but Monroe nearly has Paxley's number as she tries to toss a perched Paxley into the casket. Monroe attempts to strike Paxley with a rose bouquet, but Paxley dodges, and proceeds to beat Monroe down. Petals and buds litter the outside as Paxley brings out a toy from underneath the ring: a dollhouse! The two attempt to put each other through it, but ultimately, the back of Paxley's head cruses the delicate wood.Monroe is not done yet! She takes the dollhouse plank and body and breaks the childhood toy over Paxley's back. When it seems like Monroe was ready to put the champion's title reign to rest in the casket, however, "The Woman From Hell" looks for a different approach. She attempts to go for a fire extinguisher, only for Paxley to intercept her. Monroe fights back, and nearly puts Paxley in the grave, only for Paxley to roll back into the ring. Monroe, annoyed, attempts to use her title to strike a rope-hung Paxley into the casket, but the referees' hesitance to open the casket gives Paxley time to fight back. Monroe's title falls into the casket, but Monroe seems to be unilaterally focused on torture, as she closes the casket to bash Paxley head-first into the unyielding wood.Monroe attempts to toss Paxley back into to the casket, but Paxley now has her wits about her. She wiggles her way out of Monroe's plans to stage an impressive comeback sequence, punctuated by a snappy Suplex. Paxley manages to roll Monroe into the basket, but Monroe retrieves one of the dead's final resting pillows to strike Paxley in the head. Both women fall in, and the casket door closes!The referees refuse to call the match in a draw, and the bout continues. After maniacally laughing at each other, Monroe and Paxley spill out. The casket door is drawn shut as both women use it as a stage: first, for a DDT attempt from Monroe, then, for a phenomenal Spanish Fly by Paxley! Both women are down as "this is awesome" chants ring out through the stadium.It's a race to the fire extinguisher, and Monroe gets it first! Paxley blindly squirms as Monroe gets Paxley to the casket's edge, only to land an elevated Glamor Shot on the champion. You would be forgiven if you thought the casket's shutting door spelled the end of the match. Monroe certainly did, but her title gets caught in the lip of the casket, and the title bout continues as Paxley re-emerges from the casket!Monroe wails on Paxley with her custom Women's North American Championship. With Paxley sufficiently beaten, Monroe returns to the funerary pillow she originally used to strike at Paxley's head. She unloads it to reveal her iconic diamonds, but as she goes for the Glamor Shot, Paxley responds with a Cemetary Drive onto the diamonds! Monroe stumbles to the ropes, but that spells doom for the former titleholder, as another Cemetary Drive from Paxley sends Monroe, sufficiently defeated, into the casket. Paxley closes the coffin lid, and retains her title!Winner (and still the "NXT" Women's North American Champion): Tatum Paxley!
