‘WWE NXT’ Review (Dec 10th 2024)
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: Je’Von Evans def. Wes Lee
The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
The Young OG proved he’s much more than just being bouncy as he took down Wes Lee in an incredible one-on-one match. Lee nearly had the match won but his underhanded tactics were spotted by the referee as he tried to put his feet on the ropes for leverage. The Cardiac Kid followed that up with a Cardiac Kick, but not even that was enough to keep his opponent down. Evans dug down deep and put Lee on his back with a clean superkick, followed by a huge twisting splash off the top rope to win the match and gain some much-needed momentum.
My Score: 3 out of 5
Match #2: Hank Walker & Tank Ledger def. Tyson Dupont & Tyriek Igwe
The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Hank Walker and Tank Ledger continue to rack up wins as they defeated Tyson Dupont and Tyriek Igwe in tag team action. Dupont and Igwe showed out, using their combination of size and speed to stun their opponents but they couldn’t keep up with the freight train of Hank and Tank. With Dupont isolated, Walker hit his signature running powerslam as Ledger nailed a running forearm to clinch their win.
My Score: 2.5 out of 5
Match #3: Fatal Influence def. Gigi Dolin & Tatum Paxley
The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Jacy Jayne and Jazmyn Nyx may have won the battle, but Gigi Dolin and Tatum Paxley picked up another ally for the war. The swift kicks of Nyx proved to be a difference early on as they grounded Paxley, but it wasn’t long before she managed to tag in Dolin who promptly cleaned house. However, Women’s North American Champion Fallon Henley took advantage of a distraction and shoved Paxley off the top rope, allowing Jayne to hit Rolling Encore and win the match.
My Score: 2.5 out of 5
Match #4: North American Championship – Tony D’Angelo def. Ethan Page
The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
The Don reigns supreme as North American Champion as Ethan Page’s crash out continues in NXT. All Ego brought the fight to Tony D’Angelo, but he couldn’t find a winning fall and became increasingly frustrated, slamming the mat every time the champion kicked out.
My Score: 3 out of 5
Match #5: Roxanne Perez & Cora Jade def. Giulia & Kelani Jordan
The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Before the match could even begin, the two teams battled on the outside as the official struggled to gain control of the situation. Once the bell rang, the action came fast and furious as Perez and Giulia went toe-to-toe, with the No. 1 Contender showing why she’s one of the best Superstars in the world. While Jade distracted the official, Perez hit Pop Rox on Jordan on the outside and battled with Giulia long enough for Jade to get the win inside the ring.
My Score: 3 out of 5
Final Verdict: 3/5
Another strong episode of NXT, one that managed to not disappoint after their Deadline PPV – a pay-per-view that didn’t feel like it would be anything special but turned out to be a really great show. This episode did a LOT of work to both follow-up on that special but also push new feuds and build stories to lead into New Year’s Evil in 2025.
