‘WWE NXT’ Review (Mar 18th 2025)
Welcome to this week’s review of NXT, right here on Nerdly. Let’s get straight into it and see what went down on this week’s show!
Match #1: Women’s United States Championship – Chelsea Green def. Sol Ruca
The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
The Women’s United States Championship is staying with Chelsea Green despite a hard-fought battle from Sol Ruca. The NXT Superstar nearly pulled off the huge upset, but Green’s Secret Slaygents saved the day, forcing Zaria to take them both out. In the chaos, Green nailed an Unpretty-Her and won the bout, retaining her title in the process.
My Score: 2.5 out of 5
Match #2: Josh Brigg & Yoshiki Inamura def. Hank Walker & Tank Ledger
The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Hank & Tank’s plan to be more extreme backfired badly as it cost them a win. Walker and Ledger had Josh Briggs and Yoshiki Inamura where they wanted them, but Tank crashed and burned with a missed Senton Bomb followed by a huge Lariat and Diving Splash combo, allowing Inamura to get the pinfall.
My Score: 2.5 out of 5
Match #3: The Culling def. The D’Angelo Family
The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
The D’Angelo Family continues to spiral as they suffered another loss, this time in a Mixed Six-Person Tag Team Match. Channing ‘Stacks’ Lorenzo, Adrianna Rizzo and Luca Crusifino brought the fight right to Brooks Jensen, Izzi Dame and Niko Vance. Just when The D’Angelo Family restored order and gained the momentum, the videotron showed Tony D’Angelo being attacked by the new, mysterious group, allowing The Culling to gain the advantage and score the win.
My Score: 2.5 out of 5
Match #4: Jacy Jayne def. Karmen Petrovic
The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Karmen Petrovic and Ashante “Thee” Adonis are not on the same page and it showed during her match against Jacy Jayne. During the heat of the match, Adonis introduced a steel chair but Petrovic refused to use it, allowing Jayne to crack her with a huge spinning back elbow to win the match.
My Score: 2.5 out of 5
Match #5: Ricky Saints def. Ridge Holland
The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Ricky Saints is officially on a winning streak in NXT as he picked up his first-ever singles win. The destructive Holland targeted Saints’ back, tossing the smaller Superstar around the ring. Saints wasn’t giving in though and he somehow hoisted the huge Holland up for a match-ending Roshambo.
My Score: 3 out of 5
Match #6: NXT Underground Match – Trick Williams def. Eddy Thorpe
The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Trick Williams finally got his payback as he whooped Eddy Thorpe in an NXT Underground Match. After winning by TKO, Williams grabbed a mic and called out NXT Champion Oba Femi, only for the mysterious group to show up. Je’Von Evans showed up to join the fight, but Williams, Femi and Evans couldn’t help but brawl with each other instead of the group.
My Score: 3 out of 5
Final Verdict: 2.5/5
Well this was a huge comedown after last week’s Roadblock special! Apart from the last two matches of the night, this was a 100% skippable, mundanely average episode of NXT. I don’t know what went on, but this literally felt world’s apart from the quality we’ve have from this show in recent weeks/months. Eurgh!
