A-Kid makes NXT 2.0 debut with match against Kushida
20220308_NXT_Match_AkidKush_FC_tues--3cdfbb37b73d61b876209bf1dd4df10d.jpg

WWE’s first Spanish-born Superstar, A-Kid, is making his way across the pond from NXT UK to NXT 2.0, where he’ll lock horns with Kushida in his debut match.

The first-ever NXT UK Heritage Cup Champion, A-Kid has put on thrilling displays of athleticism for the NXT UK faithful in matches against renowned Superstars such as Tyler Bate, Ilja Dragunov and Jordan Devlin throughout his young career.

A-Kid will have his hands full in his first match, squaring off with former NXT Cruiserweight Champion Kushida. The Time Splitter has had a long and illustrious career in NXT, earning the respect of the entire locker room.

Will Kushida spoil The Spanish Sensation’s debut, or will A-Kid earn the respect of the NXT veteran?​


Cameron Grimes and Santos Escobar vie for first spot in North American Title Ladder Match​

The journey to NXT Stand & Deliver and an opportunity to win the North American Championship in a highly anticipated Ladder Match begins with the first qualifying match between Cameron Grimes and Santos Escobar.

“The Richest Man in NXT” has already proclaimed that he would win gold in 2022, but Grimes failed in his first attempt to make good on his promise when he fell to North American Champion Carmelo Hayes in a thrilling fight.

Escobar has been on a similar trajectory so far this year, looking to take the reins of NXT 2.0 by challenging Bron Breakker for the NXT Title and nearly dethroning the champion with some help from Dolph Ziggler.

With both Superstars still searching to add some hardware, who will be the first to secure an opportunity to compete at NXT Stand & Deliver?

Indi Hartwell and Persia Pirotta set to determine who is the better woman

After a heated argument, the two best friends will now stand opposite one another as Indi Hartwell and Persia Pirotta square off to determine who is the weak link in their tag team.

Upset after losing in the opening round of the Women’s Dusty Rhodes Classic, Hartwell accused Pirotta of being too distracted with chasing Duke Hudson to help the duo advance to the semifinals. Pirotta fired back by claiming that she has carried the team with her dominant performances.

The exchange seemingly caused a rift in their partnership and led to this highly anticipated singles bout to determine the better woman.

Who will come out on top, and is this the beginning of the end for the Aussie duo?​


Sarray set to go one-on-one with Tiffany Stratton

Some necklaces are worth fighting for.

After Sarray rebuked Tiffany Stratton’s offer to replace her grandmother’s necklace, “The Buff Barbie Doll” responded by slamming Sarray into a wall and berating her for the rejection.

The following week, The Warrior of the Sun returned the favor with a surprise kick to Stratton, which caused her to lose to Fallon Henley.

Now the two Superstars will settle their dispute inside the ring as Sarray and Stratton go toe-to-toe.​

Could be a real possibility they do like a last chance battle royal or something where the losers of each of the matches fight for the last spot.

Looking forward to A-KId/Kushida a lot. That match is going to rule. Personally looking forward to seeing more of Stratton on a personal level too as I've only seen bits and pieces so far. This seems like a solid match-up for her.

Still trying to let it sink in that Dolph Ziggler is the fuckin' NXT Champion. Wild. So excited about it.

Yeah doesn’t make sense to not have both Grimes and Escobar in the Ladder Match but like Dale said, one of them will get another shot or it’ll be a dusty finish.

I guess Persia will get the win thanks to Duke and this will turn into a InDex vs Duke/Persia feud. Looking forward to it.

Or let’s hope they somehow get a way to have Miz and LA Knight interact and that sets up Knight showing up on the MR

NXT callups feuding with Ziggler off the bat = no fucks given

Cause despite popular internet opinion, NXT is still booked so much more coherently than the main roster lol

Wonder if we get any tributes from wrestlers tonight for Hall. Maybe Indi breaks out her Razor gear again.
