The challenger planted the champion with the Northern Lights Suplex outdoors the ring. There was a shock interference from a returning Cora Jade, who considerably surprisingly helped Roxanne retain her title.
This was an amazing opener with each rivals making probably the most out of 13 minutes they acquired on TV. All of the close to falls added to the suspense. Cora Jade’s return turned the inevitable into questionable. Giulia took the L in her first PLE match, her second general loss up to now. This needs to be sufficient to silence people who so desperately need her to be the subsequent Asuka.
Miss – Wes Lee vs. Zachary Wentz
Wes Lee and Zachary Wentz collided in a Road Struggle. Wentz gained momentum by hitting a suicide dive. The 2 former associates exchanged some nasty blows. Lee picked up the win after planting Wentz with a chain-infested double stomp on the chair.
Lee’s win was predictable. That mentioned, the entire motion appeared fairly underwhelming given the standard of the buildup we noticed from these two males on WWE NXT. TV time restriction could possibly be one more reason.
Hit – Miz TV that includes Tony D’ Angelo & Oba Femi
The Miz acquired booed by the Chicago followers for turning on R-Reality the earlier evening. He didn’t let the chants cease him from welcoming his visitors. Tony promised to beat Oba subsequent Tuesday for the North American Championship. The champion mentioned he was inevitable whereas Tony was damaged.
Oba Femi stands out as the most improved celebrity on the mic in 2024. He’s at all times been constant contained in the ring. The large man held his personal towards The Don. This feud has a Rocky-esque construct to it, with Tony because the underdog challenger towards the supreme champion in Oba Femi.
Miss – Girls’s tag group match on WWE NXT

Parker left Vice to fend for herself, permitting Deadly Affect to select up the win. The heels requested Kelani Jordan to get within the ring. Kelani mentioned she didn’t come to Chicago alone. Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill confirmed as much as take out Deadly Affect.
The in-ring motion was OKAY at greatest. Jaida Parker and Lola Vice struggled to co-exist. Parker is a pure insurgent. Lola Vice wants extra time to construct herself as a reputable babyface. Kelani’s commentary was horrible. Deadly Affect selecting up the W was the precise resolution. This enables Jaida to feud with Lola. Bianca and Jade’s arrival planted the seeds for his or her tag group match subsequent week on WWE NXT.

Trick was at all times tipped to steer NXT on CW. Web page did a terrific job as a heel champion. So far as in-ring motion is worried, I want their Battleground title match to final evening. The ultimate spot made Trick’s win just a little underwhelming however the precise man acquired the win on the finish. Let’s see what’ subsequent for “All Ego.”
