Here The Tuesday Night NXT Full Results
– Trick Williams and NXT Champion Carmelo Hayes makes their way to the ring. Alicia Taylor does the introductions. Trick calls for the music to be cut. He says we’re close to The Great American Bash so let’s get to business. Trick goes on hyping Hayes up but Hayes wants to talk about what happened with Ilja Dragunov wanting to help him against The Judgment Day. The music hits and out comes Dragunov.
Dragunov says he got involved because Damian Priest could’ve cashed in Money In the Bank to win the title, and take it to the main roster, but Dragunov wants to face Hayes at The Bash. Dragunov says Hayes has lost control. They have words and Dragunov goes on about how it means something when he’s in the ring, the people feel it, and he will make Hayes feel defeat at The Bash. Hayes says he feels it all – the weight of the title, the criticism from everyone, the animosity of his peers in the back, and so on. He feels everything.
Hayes says Dragunov is the most qualified to challenge him at The Bash. The back & forth over The Great American Bash continues. Dragunov says Hayes can’t control this fire, Hayes says he will blow this fire out. Hayes says one of them will have champagne after The Bash, the other will have pain. The music hits and they face off as Hayes holds the title up.
– Mustafa Ali approaches NXT North American Champion Wes Lee at backstage. Ali isn’t happy about Dominik Mysterio getting a title shot tonight when their match is coming up, but Lee says he was challenged. Ali says he doesn’t want to face Mysterio at The Great American Bash, he wants to face the greatest North American Champion of all-time. Lee says he will be there. Ali says he will be there, but Wes has to win to get there.
– NXT Heritage Cup Champion Nathan Frazer and Dragon Lee defeated Los Lotharios via pinfall. After the match, Frazer and Lee begin celebrations. Lee, Frazer, Feroz and Leon pose on the aisle now. Los Lotharios argue at ringside now. Humberto shoves his cousin to the floor, then storms off through the crowd. Garza follows him, ranting away.
– We get another Baron Corbin vignette with the same fire and tiki torches. Corbin wonders why couldn’t he just be fine with what he had… he had to go and burn his past. Evolve… but to what? Corbin goes on and says he will face his future. Love him or hate him, save your opinions… Corbin is doing this as him.
– NXT Anonymous has secretly filmed footage of Booker T talking to Roxanne Perez about how dangerous Blair Davenport is and how she needs to go into their match at The Great American Bash. Booker is not happy about NXT Anonymous filming him.
– Kiana James defeated Gigi Dolin via pinfall. After the match, James stands tall to celebrate.
– We see last week’s backstage footage of Axiom and Scrypts having words with Bronco Nima and Lucien Price to set up tonight’s match. Nima and Price walk off. Axiom tells Scrypts they are not a tag team, and Scrypts can’t keep doing this to him because he has things he wants to accomplish in NXT on his own.
– We see a sad Ivy Nile removing The Diamond Mine banners from their training room.
– We see how Noam Dar tweeted an apology to last week’s Supernova Sessions guest Eddy Thorpe, saying he’s sorry for canceling but he’s still in a “glass case of emotion” over losing the NXT Heritage Cup. Dar said he’d try and host again this week. Thorpe is backstage with McKenzie Mitchell now. She asks about his NXT Underground win and he says that should put him in title contention.
Dar, Oro Mensah, Jakara Jackson and Lash Legend show up. They apologize for Dar canceling again. Dar is out of it tonight. They give Thorpe a signed photo of Dar but he rips it up. Oro challenges Thorpe and they have words as officials hold them back.
– Bronco Nima and Lucien Price defeated Axiom and Scrypts via pinfall. After the match, Nima and Price stand tall. Scrypts leaves with Nima and Price.
– The ring is set up for Tony D’Angelo’s Homecoming. Tony’s family members are in the ring. Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo takes the mic and says everything changed for The Family on May 25 when the rat Joe Coffey had Tony arrested on trumped up charges. Stacks goes on and introduces The Don and out he comes.
Tony takes the mic and declares that he is back. He first wants to give a shout-out to Stacks because he wouldn’t be standing here if it weren’t for him. Tony says Stacks came up with a genius plan. Tony says everyone, including Gallus, thought Stacks was the rat, but that’s not the case. Tony shows us footage of Stacks going over the plan during a visitation, and how they would trick Gallus into getting a shot at the NXT Tag Team Titles.
Gallus interrupts now – Joe Coffey, Mark Coffey and Wolfgang. Joe insults Stacks and Tony, calling them scum and the lowest form of life he’s ever seen. Joe says Tony is going to wish he was back in jail. Tony and Stacks taunt Gallus, saying they will lose the NXT Tag Team Titles at The Great American Bash. Gallus ends up going to the ring for a fight but Tony’s family members pull out weapons. Tony and Stacks hit Wolfgang and Joe with crowbars, while Mark is put through a table for a big pop.
– Trick Williams and NXT Champion Carmelo Hayes are walking at backstage when The Schism stops them. Joe Gacy, Ava, Rip Fowler and Jagger Reid are with their masked members. Gacy says Williams and Hayes will see their union dissolve as soon as Hayes loses the title. Ava and Reid also talk some trash.
Ilja Dragunov eventually walks up and stands between Gacy and Hayes. Gacy says Ilja is the next NXT Champion. Hayes wants to know why Ilja keeps showing up. They all have words until Gacy headbutts Hayes. Or was he pushed by a masked man? Dragunov attacks Reid and a brawl breaks out.
– Thea Hail defeated Elektra Lopez via submission. After the match, Duke hits the ring and takes the mic. Hail says she made Lopez tap out just like she did with NXT Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton. Hail wants another title shot, she knows she can do it. Duke starts a “Rematch!” chant. Hail calls Stratton to the ring so she can kick her ass.
Stratton comes out and says it’s rude to call the champion out, and she’s superior. Fans chant “you tapped out!” now. Stratton says Hail learned one move and thinks she can conquer the world. Stratton accepts the challenge and says this will be the easiest title defense ever since she’s already defeated Hail once.
Toodles… she goes to leave but Hail says she wants this to be a Submission Match. Stratton says absolutely not… Hail can’t add stipulations, only Stratton can, and Hail can’t make Stratton do it. Stratton leaves but Hail attacks and applies the Kimura Lock, forcing Stratton to tap out and agree to the match.
– Dominik Mysterio and Rhea Ripley are at backstage now. Tony D’Angelo and Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo walk by and Tony says Dominik’s friend from jail said hello. They wish them good luck and leave. Dominik points out Lyra Valkyria, and Ripley calls her over. Ripley says she told everyone how Lyra is a badass, but then she went and got beat by Jacy Jayne. Ripley asks if she was wrong about Valkyria. Lyra says no, and she will prove it the next time she steps in the ring with Jayne. Lyra walks off and Dominik says she doesn’t want to get on Mami’s bad side.
– We get a video package on Gable Steveson. He says everyone is talking about his future. What’s next? Gable goes on about how he could win another NCAA title, he could represent his country at the Olympics in Paris, or stay in NXT. Steveson says he will decide on his future next week.
– Oro Mensah defeated Eddy Thorpe via pinfall.
– We get a video of Dana Brooke and Kelani Jordan. Jordan is mad at herself for losing to Cora Jade last week. Brooke says Jordan is just getting started, so it’s OK. Brooke suggests they do something only they can do. They start training gymnastics now. Brooke says Jordan is about to break out, so Jade wishes she could do what they do, and that’s why she carries the kendo stick everywhere. We cut to Jade watching backstage. She says… gymnasts, really? Jade says Brooke will lose next week. She hits the wall with her kendo stick to end the segment.
– We go to Vic Joseph’s split-screen interview with Blair Davenport and Roxanne Perez. Davenport says she had nothing to do with NXT Anonymous filming Perez and Booker T earlier. Davenport brings up what she did to Perez before, and says now she gets to do the same in front of Roxanne’s friends and family. Davenport insults Perez some more and says the division is full of women, not little girls.
Perez is tired of being criticized for her size. She goes on and says she will fight the anxiety to show us a side we’ve never seen. She says Davenport has no idea what is coming. Davenport says either you have the killer instinct, or you don’t. Perez says she does have it. Davenport says Austin, TX is close to Perez’s hometown of Laredo, so when she loses at The Great American Bash, she should just go home and not come back to Orlando. Perez storms out of the interview.
– Dominik Mysterio defeated Wes Lee via pinfall and became the new WWE NXT North American Champion. After the match, The Judgment Day regroups the ring, celebrating and praising Dominik. WWE Tuesday Night NXT goes off the air with The Judgment Day posing at the entrance-way.
