Welcome to WWE NXT 2.0 Tuesday where we will definitely be following along with all of the thrills, chills and sometimes spills on WWE NXT 2.0!
On the show tonight per WWE.com –
- “Josh Briggs looks to end Von Wagner’s reign of terror”
- Roxanne Perez vs. Tiffany Stratton in Women’s Breakout Tournament Final
- Tatum Paxley vs. Alba Fyre
Plus all the fallout from NXT In Your House including presumably the combining of families of Tony D’Angelo and LDF?! Did Wendy Choo get a new body pillow after Mandy Rose unceremoniously destroyed hers during their match at the premium live event?
You’ll have to either tune in to NXT 2.0 to watch two hours of NXT 2.0 to find out yourself or might I suggest, checking back right here for WrestleTalk’s NXT 2.0 Live Results!

Grayson Waller & Carmelo Hayes vs. Solo Sikoa and Apollo Crews
I’m lost but here we are. Despite earlier saying he would take a volunteer but he wasn’t going to ask, Solo comes out and says he brought someone with him – gasp, I’m easily worked, I thought someone ELSE from the main roster might come out but then, here comes Apollo Crews again.
Oh. Ok. Cool.
Not Cameron Grimes? I mean okay, alright. We’ll let it play out.
Their match kicks off and I wonder if maybe I’m just not grasping the severity of Crews’ history with NXT until Joseph says his last match in NXT was in 2016… so no I haven’t missed some other context I was unaware of. The crowd is hot and you can’t deny they’re all fun workers.
Already several minutes past the hour, Greyson Waller has Solo in a chin lock but Sikoa can get to the bottom rope. Waller accidentally wipes Hayes off the apron, gets a hot tag in for Crews taking Waller apart with multiple big suplexes while the crowd starts chanting “Suplex City!” at him (gimmick infringement…) and almost gets the pin but it is broken up by Hayes as he ad Solo square off before spilling to the outside.
Waller attempts a running stunner and is quite literally caught by Apollo Crews who turns it into a big slam and gets the pinfall victory.
Sure okay, “Expect the unexpected on Tuesday nights!” says Vic Jospeh to close the show.
Expect the unexpected indeed! They’re running the re-run of Miz and Mrs after NXT 2.0 and… so I’m still here but save yourselves! Have a great night!

Alba Fyre vs. Tatum Paxley
Okay this segment is a lot –
There is a decent match between Alba Fyre and Tatum Paxley, I guess? I think Alba Fyre (along with a few others) look out of place in NXT 2.0 in that she seems ready to go to the main roster really but what do I know? Digging her new look. She’s standing tall after her win when Lash Legend attacks with a giant boot to the face. Oh. Ok. Cool. We’ll let it play out.
Diamond Mine backstage with Strong congratulating Creed Brothers on their win at In Your House, general apologies for any tension since “We’re all Alphas, especially Ivy!” until Edris Enofe and Malik Blade come up, congratulate them and they hug and then just accept their challenge for the NXT tag team titles. Roddy is like, OH of course you guys have never been champions before… as there is clearly still tension. I like the overall arc of this storyline although weird that they just keep it pushing unaddressed every time chunks of their ensemble cast get Thanos snapped out of existence.
Then back from the break, Giovanni Vinci is revealed!

Andre Chase vs. Pretty Deadly
This match was built throughout the night!
In the first Chase U segment, Andre Chase gives Thea Hail a scholarship and they’re about to take a photo when PrettyDeadly interrupts to say that taking a picture with a teacher is embarrassing! Bodhi Hayward retorts maybe they could add star power to the picture, go grab your tag titles oh wait… you lost them! Chase U takes a group photo.
Just at the end of Toxic Attraction’s brawl with Roxanne, Indi and Cora, Vic Joseph throws to cameras in the back where there’s a situation with Chase U – we find out that Bodhi Hayward was attacked from behind by Pretty Deadly as Andre Chase says he can’t let him compete in the match, commands the others to get Bodhi medical attention and then yells out “Son of a B***ch! I’ll whoop their asses!” and storms off towards the ring.
Andre Chase comes out and proceeds to compete in the match alone until Thea Hail joins him and hops up on the apron like she’s ready to tag in! She doesn’t however she does lay a big slap on Elton Prince leading to a quick comeback for Andre who gets enough shots in to spell Chase U and do the “What does that spell?!” chant… until he is the beaten via pinfall after a Spilt Milk.
I feel bad for the people who don’t watch NXT 2.0 in that Wade Barrett and Vic Joseph are a top-notch duo.
Their exchanges during the Pretty Deadly entrance were hilarious.

Tiffany Stratton vs. Roxanne Perez in Women's Breakout Tournament Final
Roxanne Perez hits the Pop Rox and gets the pinfall victory for the win! Cora Jade comes to the ring to celebrate with her as she becomes the inaugural Women’s Breakout Tournament! She has a “championship opportunity of her choosing” which seems confusing at first until… Toxic Attraction comes out.
Mandy Rose taunts Roxanne and says she should really enjoy this moment because it is ALL downhill from here! Mandy says she would be better off taking that contract to Raw or SmackDown… or just leave it hanging in her closet? Oh! It’s like a company-wide Money in the Bank contract…? I missed that aspect until now unless that is a new addition to the storyline.
Indi Hartwell runs out to even the numbers and also gets a big boot to Rose’s face as previously promised!
