It’s time for the final stop on the road to NXT ‘In Your House’ this coming Saturday, with tonight’s episode of NXT 2.0 on the USA Network!
Here’s what’s in store for us tonight:
- ‘Championship Summit’ with Toxic Attraction and their In Your House opponents – Wendy Choo, and the team of Katana Chance & Kayden Carter
- Cameron Grimes vs. Nathan Frazer
- Elektra Lopez vs. Cora Jade
All that and more as In Your House comes our way this weekend, headlined by Bron Breakker defending the NXT Championship against Joe Gacy.
Follow along below for all the updates, results and reactions to tonight’s show!
Cameron Grimes vs. Nathan Frazer
While we get zingers on commentary from Carmelo and Trick, the in-ring action is exceptional as these two put on an absolute show and a wonderful showcase of a couple of NXT’s most brightly shining stars. Buried amongst some really weird stuff are still actually great wrestlers and look no further than this match to see that! Worth checking out for sure.
Cameron Grimes was able to get the win after a hard-fought battle.
After the match, Melo and Williams get shots in on Grimes but retreat up the ramp as the show goes off the air.

Ivy Nile vs. Kiana James
Random but storyline relevant match in the end as it was James who planted the seeds with Nile regarding being all alone in a disbanded Diamond Mine after Saturday which came back around after Nile beats James here.
After Ivy Nile wins, Pretty Deadly comes out and also asks Ivy Nile what she’s gonna do when Diamond Mine closes? She’s worked up but the Creeds are there and toss Pretty Deadly into the ring and there’s a brawl! Pretty Deadly also accidentally drop their belts and this segment too ends with the faces holding up their borrowed belts.
I don’t fully understand her gimmick but Kiana James might be able to work, we can all let it play out. Seems a little antiquated but earlier her faux Burberry tube top made me realize NXT is lacking a ruthlessly mean girl who is also portrayed as smart. Stratton is meant to be mean but also vapid and shallow, a strategically cunning mean girl could be an interesting foil to a lot of these face archetypes.

Grayson Waller vs. Josh Briggs
Fun match, the crowd had dueling chants of “You can’t wrestle!” and “Yes he can!” from the crowd. Waller needs a more substantive feud, I don’t know they broke up the pairs I thought maybe he and Stratton would team up against (I miss InDex & DuSia!)
Near the end of the match, Robert Stone, Von Wagner and Sofia Cromwell appear and end up causing somewhat of a distraction interference as Grayson Waller is able to sneak out the win and scampers away!

Solo Sikoa vs. Duke Hudson
Among the members of the NXT roster, this is a match I could easily see on the main roster as both big men put on an entertaining match.
A big splash for Solo Sikoa to pick up the pinfall and the victory.
