WWE NXT RESULTS AND LIVE BLOG FOR NOV. 1
I’ve seen the morning in the mountains of Alaska, I’ve seen the sunset in the east and in the west. I’ve sang the glory that was Rome, and passed the hound dog singer’s home, but now I’m gonna liveblog this here pro wrestling show for you, folks.
The show opens with Bron Breakker making his entrance.
He gets on the mic and talks about how monumental Halloween Havoc was for the entire locker room, but soon enough he gets cut off—
Enter Pretty Deadly.
They talk about how Bron squeaks out his victories and tell him he’s the absolute worst and they’re sick of it. He does a terrible English accent and calls them wankers, which gets their hackles up. They claim their title defense was bigger and they deserve a glittering parade and pomp and circumstance and a moment in the sun.
Enter Wes Lee.
He can’t listen to this anymore and tells the tag champs to shut up. He tells Bron he appreciates the words, and Pretty Deadly tell him off and want to get back to the topic being them. Bron says maybe if they hadn’t combed their hair for three hours before the show they could have been fist.
Wes has to give them credit for beautiful hair and Bron goes in for a closer look and has to admit they do have great hair. He admits he takes it too far sometimes, so he’s just gonna take a step back and let Pretty Deadly have their spotlight. They thank him and Wes offers them a big intro, calling them tasty snacks.
The singles champs talk about how usually if you open the show you get interrupted and somebody comes after their titles, and that somebody is them. Wes misses holding the tag titles and Bron’s never had them, so since Pretty Deadly claim to be the best champions in NXT, they should put the titles on the line tonight.
Pretty Deadly say they’ll have the last laugh, Bron says they’ll win the tag titles, and Elton Prince says there’s no way tonight could get any worse.
Enter R-Truth to send us to break.
Grayson Waller vs. R-Truth
Waller jawing at Truth, Ron slaps him in the face, Grayson with a front kick and punches into the corner! Whip across, shoulder block, big lariat, draw him up but Wallter punches him right in the chest! Duck a lariat, Manhattan Drop, Atomic Drop, headlock takeover to grind the younger man down!
Off the ropes, shoulder block, mocking “You Can’t See Me” but he runs right into a drop down and Truth goes right back to the headlock! Waller on the comeback, STO sets him up, he goes to the second and walks the ropes but Truth rolls away! To the floor, Truth lands awkward on a dive and we go to break!
Back from commercial, we’re informed that R-Truth is in fact hurt badly enough that the match has to be called off as he’s helped out by trainers.
Grayson Waller wins by referee stoppage.
Post-match, Waller cuts a promo and says it doesn’t matter who it is, he’s the most dominant superstar in this company and he’s sick and tired of people sleeping on him. He just beat a twenty-year vet on his own, and NXT is his house, and ain’t nobody gonna change that.
Vic Joseph has a sit-down interview with the Schism.
Ava Raine says nobody knew it was her and she showed them they know nothing. She’s been around WWE her entire life, and nobody took the time to get to know her until she met Joe, Rip, and Jagger. When she first started training at the Performance Center, she suffered a devastating injury and she didn’t hear anything from anybody but Joe Gacy.
Gacy says Vic is completely missing the point, Ava isn’t here because she does something for them. Everybody has asked her for things her entire life, she’s here because they accept her for who she truly is. Rip Fowler offers Vic a smiley pin, and Jagger Reid says they welcome taking your mask off.
He has one more question, about a Cameron Grimes tweet about Raine being brainwashed. She says she’s not brainwashed, she just saw what Grimes could never see, that she can do more with the Schism than as an individual. You don’t just get to reject the Schism and walk away, and they’re committed to making an example out of Cameron Grimes when he wrestles Joe for the final time next week.
Four roots, one tree.
Big Body Javier Bernal is outside of Shawn Michaels’ office talking to Edris Enofe and Malik Blade. He warns them not to waste their meeting with HBK and they’re better off just watching his match tonight.
Odyssey Jones leaves the office and says he’s Javi’s match tonight.
We see Kiana James handing an envelope off to somebody and we go to break.
Back from commercial, we see footage from earlier of Indi Hartwell confronting Zoey Stark and telling her to get over her loss.
Stark says Indi doesn’t deserve a title match because they’re actually earned, and Hartwell says she’s gonna earn a boot to the face. They get hot and the locker room has to pull them apart.
Andre Chase gives Thea Hail a pre-match pep talk and she goes from fired up to “not right”, because there’s no flag-bearer. DUKE HUDSON BURSTS THROUGH THE WALL LIKE THE KOOL-AID MAN AND MARCHES OUT HOLDING THE FLAG!
Kiana James vs. Thea Hail
James in control early with knees, an arm wringer, throwing her into the corner, Hail comes back with forearms! Neutralized with a knee, stepover armbreaker, cover for two! Top wristlock follows, Thea escapes with an arm drag, a lariat, a series of elbows, Stinger Splashes, a dropkick to the knee and a running blockbuster!
Thea up top, diving crossbody, Kiana catches her but Hail reverses to a small package! Mat slam, jumping reverse STO… Duke Hudson puts Thea’s foot on the ropes! Andre Chase lectures him and sends him to the back! James choking Hail in the ropes…
Kiana James wins by pinfall with a jumping reverse STO.
