We opened with Ava Raine confronting NXT Girls’s Champion Stephanie Vaquer backstage. The demand? Discover a accomplice for a tag match in opposition to Chik Tormenta and Dalys in Los Angeles for World’s Collide! Vaquer, ever the preventing champ, desires to defend her title first—however earlier than it may well escalate, Lola Vice slides in like she’s been ready in catering for this actual second and volunteers! I just like the pairing although and Stephanie wants buddies as we’ll discover out later tonight.
Jaida Parker vs. Tatum Paxley
Jaida Parker and Tatum Paxley opened with a basic collar-and-elbow tie-up, however issues obtained unhinged quick. Tatum cornered Parker with a flurry of haymakers, then took her on a whirlwind tour of the turnbuckles by way of butterfly suplex. Jaida countered with a nook lungblower that regarded downright imply.
Parker stayed in management with a slingshot seated senton and a kneeling surfboard that regarded extra painful than efficient, however Tatum dug deep—stringing collectively an O’Connor roll, a facebreaker, enzuigiri, and a picture-perfect somersault axe kick right into a dropkick that despatched Jaida to the surface.
Sadly, Jaida went full sports activities leisure by chucking one in all Tatum’s dolls into the ring. Paxley, overcome with grief, dropped to her knees and clutched her fallen comrades giving Jaida simply sufficient time to capitalize on the mournful distraction to hit Tatum with a hip assault

Publish-match, Thea Hail made a shock return and charged the ring leveling Jaida, sending her scrambling whereas Tatum regarded on, uncertain whether or not to cry or smile.
Later backstage, Tatum crossed paths with Sol Ruca and Zaria. They provided some vaguely heartwarming extension of…friendship? The Culling ominously strolled by within the background perhaps making an attempt to be delicate? Idk however I’m good with this storyline.
Jacy Jayne vs. Stephanie Vaquer for the NXT Girls’s Championship
Vaquer launched out of the gate with livid strikes, a rolling solebutt, and a snap legsweep right into a one-count cowl. Jayne answered with kicks and a nearfall of her personal earlier than we obtained our first style of chaos—Dalys and Chik Tormenta ran in to disrupt, however Lola Vice neutralized them early on within the match.
Jayne goes in with a roll up, however Vaquer recovered with a tiger feint kick and springboard elbow for 2. Getting back from business, Jayne took over with a sling blade and a working boot, however couldn’t preserve La Primera down for lengthy.

Crowd reactions ranged from shocked silence to “is that this actually taking place?” Mike Rome and the remainder of commentary let the second breathe as Jacy clutched the title like she hadn’t fully believed she’d win it both.
Whereas I do know this title win is extremely surprising, this additionally does really feel like a shift in NXT Girls’s Division. I used to be saying within the dwell thread, Jordynne Grace, Stephanie Vaquer and Giulia didn’t want a lot “improvement” if any. So if this if that is signaling in the direction of a name up for all three, then I’m actually proud of this path. Jacy Jayne getting this ball to run with is downright surprising, however under no circumstances undeserved. I’m actually excited to see what Jacy goes to do with this reign, and the subsequent period it looks as if we’re getting into. Pontificate within the feedback everybody!
