WWE NXT 2.0 Results For April 12, 2022

It’s Tuesday night and that means a brand new episode of WWE NXT for April 12th, and Ringside News has you covered with live play-by-play results coverage. Start time for NXT is at 8:00 PM EST. Match-by-match highlights and results from the show will take place on this very page. Feel free to leave any reactions in the comment section below.

Tonight’s NXT 2.0 should bring us more information on the shocking abduction of Bron Breakker’s father, Rick Steiner. Joe Gacy and Harland revealed that they’d kidnapped Steiner after Breakker defeated Gunther to retain the NXT Championship in the main event of last week’s NXT. Breakker will likely be furious and it’s certainly going to be interesting to see what happens next.

Of course, we have three championship matches tonight, with Cameron Grimes defending his North American Championship against Solo Sikoa, and Mandy Rose defending the Women’s NXT Championship against Dakoa Kai. An unfortunate story broke last week that saw one half of MSK, Nash Carter, get released from the company, and so tonight the vacant NXT Tag Team Titles will be on the line in a five-team Gauntlet Match: Grayson Waller & Sanga Vs. Raul Mendoza & Joaquin Wilde Vs. The Creed Brothers Vs. Josh Briggs & Brooks Jensen Vs. Pretty Deadly.

That’s the preview for tonight’s stacked episode of NXT. Our live coverage will begin from 8PM right here. Let us know if you’re excited about any of it and remember to hit the refresh link below and enjoy the show!

She was her first-ever action figure. She sent Natalya a message on Twitter in 2011 when she was ten because Natalya pointed at her at a live show. Natalya says she remembers that because when Cora debuted for NXT she DM’d her and told her how happy she was and that she was so glad she pointed to the right girl that night.

She says she has competed against the very best the industry has ever had and she can say with confidence that Cora is the future of it… but that future is BLEAK!
