‘WWE NXT’ Review (Mar 11th 2025)
Welcome to this week’s review of NXT, right here on Nerdly. This is another PPV/PLE style show for 4the brand this week… NXT Roadblock! So let’s get straight into it and see what went down on this week’s special show!
Match #1: TNA Tag Team Championship The Hardy Boyz def. Fraxiom
The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Matt and Jeff Hardy proved that they are still the team to beat as they defeated Nathan Frazer and Axiom to retain the TNA Tag Team Title. The incredibly athletic offense from Fraxiom saw them hit their Spanish Fly/Phoenix Splash combo, but the veteran savvy of The Hardyz allowed them to stay in the matchup just long enough. Fraxiom’s attempt at a High Low backfired as Axiom accidentally hit Frazer, allowing Jeff to nail a Swanton Bomb to give them the win.
My Score: 3.5 out of 5
Match #2: Jordynne Grace def. Roxanne Perez
The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
The Juggernaut made good on her word and defeated Roxanne Perez in front of a raucous Theater inside Madison Square Garden. The Prodigy was ruthless to begin the match, utilizing joint manipulation to injure Grace’s knee and elbow, making it harder for the powerhouse to use her strength-based moves. Despite being in a serious amount of pain, Grace persevered and in an intense flurry, hit a thunderous Juggernaut Driver to win the match.
My Score: 3.5 out of 5
Match #3: NXT Championship – Oba Femi def. Moose
The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Two of the biggest and baddest finally clashed and when the dust settled, only Oba Femi was left standing. A sold-out NXT Universe bore witness to an unbelievable display of power, grit and tenacity as The Ruler and The System leader destroyed each other with devastating blows. Moose planted Femi through the announce table with a huge chokeslam, but the NXT Champion dug deep and managed to counter a Spear into a Fall From Grace, allowing him to retain his title to a standing ovation.
My Score: 3.5 out of 5
Match #4: New York City Street Fight – Je’Von Evans def Ethan Page
The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
The Young OG pulled out all the stops in getting his payback on Ethan Page in a destructive New York City Street Fight. Page and Evans introduced a whole bevy of weapons including but not limited to steel chairs and tables, smashing each other with them and smashing each other through them. A defiant Evans refused to suffer another loss to page as he hit a dazzling cutter with a chair wrapped around Page’s neck, giving him the win. After the match, The Young OG was brutally assaulted by NXT’s mysterious masked group.
My Score: 4 out of 5
Match #5: NXT Women’s Championship vs. NXT Women’s North American Championship – Winner: Stephanie Vaquer
The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
History was made inside The Theater at Madison Square Garden as La Primera won the NXT Women’s Championship, making her the first woman in history to become a double champion with two NXT Titles. The Dark Angel went for broke with a Spinal Tap, but Giulia countered into a Rings of Saturn, only for Vaquer to roll through into a huge Arrivederci Knee Strike. Not be deterred, Vaquer hoisted the NXT Women’s Champion for three SVB’s to make history in front of a sold out New York City crowd.
My Score: 4.5 out of 5
Final Verdict: 4.5/5
It might sound like I’m repeating myself but goddamn, when NXT puts on a “special” they really put on a special! Great matches across the board, from the very first match – a TNA title match on NXT programming no less – to the main event, this entire show was absolutely tremendous. Speaking of the main event, there’s a reason EVERYONE wanted to sign Guila and Stephanie Vaquer and THIS was most definitely it. And to top it off Guila apparently wrestled this match a little beat-up, hence the loss. How true that is I’m not sure, but whatever the case, these two put the main roster – both men and women – to shame!
