WWE NXT Results (7/9/2024):

The show opens up with a recap from this past Sunday’s WWE NXT Heatwave PLE. Vic Joseph and WWE Hall of Famer Booker T then welcomes us to the show as new WWE NXT Champion “All Ego” Ethan Page makes his way down to the ring to address the NXT Universe and he is flanked by security.

Ethan Page starts off by gloating about being the new NXT Champion and says it only took him six weeks to take over NXT. Page then says it takes several traits to be able to accomplish such, but the biggest thing is having a big ego. Page then says everyone likely hates him and that includes the entire NXT locker room. Page then explains that the security he brought with him was to protect him against any member of the NXT roster looking to attack him. Oro Mensah then appears at ringside looking to blindside Page, but security prevents him from doing so. Page then thanks Ava for banning Mensah from Heatwave and allowing him to win the NXT Championship in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Page then promises to keep any outsiders from coming to NXT to ruin what they have on the brand as the new NXT Champion, then says while the saying might go We Are NXT, that’s not true because he is NXT.

Trick Williams’ music then hits and he makes his way down to the ring. Williams admits Page dethroned him as NXT Champion fair and square, but warns him that he’s coming for his rematch. Williams then demands to have his rematch for the NXT Championship tonight, but instead of responding to the challenge, Page thanks Williams for inadvertently helping him become the new champion. Page then tells Williams that he’s no longer the guy in NXT because he is and says he’s not granting him his rematch.

Shawn Spears’ music then hits and he makes his way out. Spears tells Page that he owes him a thank you for helping him become the new champion and tells Williams that he’s goofy for running his mouth about him for some time. Spears then says it must suck for Williams to have lost the NXT Championship without being pinned and Williams should go to the back of the line. Je’Von Evans’ music then hits and he makes his way out. Evans says he was close to winning the NXT Championship and he’s not waiting for Spears or Page to get another shot at the title. Williams and Evans then begin brawling with Page and Spears and send both men crashing out of the ring. Williams and Evans then stand tall as referees make their way out to separate the four men.

We then get highlights from the Countdown To WWE NXT Heatwave Pre-Show Tag Team Match as well as the backstage segment that set up the match on tonight’s show. Vic Joseph then hypes up the Arianna Grace vs. Karmen Petrovic Match.

We then get Twitter/X promos from NXT Heatwave of Lexis King and Tony D’Angelo, which set up their NXT Heritage Cup Championship Match for tonight.

We then get the entrances of the first match of the night, which is a Singles Match.

Singles Match: Karmen Petrovic vs. Arianna Grace

The match starts off with Grace hitting a shoulder tackle on Petrovic, but Petrovic responds with a hair whip on Grace and follows it up with a lariat. Jacy Jayne and Jazmyn Nyx then make their way out as Petrovic wears Grace down with a submission hold. Grace then wears Petrovic down with a submission of her own, but Petrovic escapes and hits a jawbreaker. Petrovic then follows it up with a kick and trips Grace, then hits Grace with a roundhouse kick for the win.

The winner of the Singles Match, Karmen Petrovic!

After the match, Fallon Henley blindsides Petrovic and hits her with a suplex. Henley then delivers some right hands on her and hits her with a kick before nailing her with forearms.

We then go to a video showing Brooks Jensen’s meeting with NXT General Manager Ava about his recent behavior. Jensen apologizes for his actions and says he’s not there to make excuses. Jensen then says he wishes he could take it all back and Ava tells him as a wrestler, he needs to be able to push through all the highs and lows. Ava then tells Jensen that herself and Shawn Michaels were ready to release him, but a few people vouched for him and they ultimately decided against it. Ava then tells Jensen he’s a WWE Superstar 24/7 and the two shake hands.

The D’Angelo Family and Lexis King are all waiting inside the ring for the next match, which is a WWE NXT Heritage Cup Championship Match and Eddy Thorpe is at ringside to watch the action.

WWE NXT Heritage Cup Championship Match: The D’Angelo Family’s “The Don Of NXT” Tony D’Angelo (c) vs. Lexis King

D’Angelo then hits a chop of his own and looks to cinch in a Boston Crab, but King fights his way out of it. D’Angelo then locks in the hold as the first round ends, but King refuses to tap out. Thorpe then plays some music in between rounds and as round two begins, King becomes distracted by Thorpe. This then opens the door for D’Angelo to hits his Forget About It finisher to score a fall.

D’Angelo then delivers some right hands on King’s midsection and follows it up with a suplex. King then runs over D’Angelo and hits him with The Coronation to score a fall as round three ends.

We then see Chase U backstage and Ridge Holland walks in. Holland says Thea Hail is ready for a WWE NXT Women’s Championship Match against Roxanne Perez, so he got her a match tonight to prove it to Ava.

Joe Hendry then briefly appears on the screen behind them.

Wes Lee then makes his way down to the ring to address the NXT Universe.

Wes Lee starts off by saying he has had a rough couple of days and he believed he could dethrone Oba Femi as NXT North American Champion at Heatwave. Lee then admits that Femi was the better man, but that match wasn’t the only thing he put everything into. Lee then says that when he was recovering from his spine injury a few months back, imagining the success he would have upon his return got him through it. Lee then says that’s not how things turned out and he doesn’t know where to go now that he can’t challenge Femi for the NXT North American Championship as long as he holds it. Lee then says he has been beaten before, but it’s never been like this. Lee then says he has to be honest with then fans and himself, then says he thinks it might be time to step away.

MSK’s music then hits and Zachary Wentz and Trey Miguel make their way down to the ring. Lee asks Wentz and Miguel what they’re doing in NXT and Wentz says both them and the fans don’t want to see Lee leave. Miguel then tells Lee that he and Wentz have missed him and Lee tells Wentz and Miguel he’s proud of what they’ve accomplished in TNA Wrestling. Wentz and Miguel then say they know and Wentz tells Lee that he’s the greatest NXT North American Champion of all time. Miguel then says MSK was the best tag team in NXT history before Wentz proposes a reunion of both MSK and The Rascalz to Lee. Lee then accepts then hugs Wentz and Miguel.

We then see NXT Champion “All Ego” Ethan Page and Shawn Spears warming up when Sarah Schreiber shows up and asks them about the main event. They both laugh and assume that the match will be a handicap match. Spears then says Trick is a loser for not having friends. Spears and Page then say they are on the same page. Spears then says he had to leave to check on a lost soul. Page then tells Sarah to get out of his space so he can warm up.

We then get the entrances of the next match, which is a Singles Match.

Singles Match: Chase U’s Thea Hail vs. Izzi Dame

The match starts off with Hail hitting a couple of kicks on Dame’s thigh. Dame then knocks Hail over, then hits Hail with a kick that sends her crashing out of the ring.

Dame then hits Hail with a backbreaker and locks in a crossface on her. Tatum Paxley then appears at ringside and Dame sends her bouncing off the ring apron face first.

Ava then says if Evans is cleared, Jensen will have to face Evans in a match next week. Briggs then tells Jensen that he has his back next week. Jensen then says he would rather do it on his own. Briggs then says he wants to get his hands on Spears for taking a month away from him. Ava then tells him to just stay out of the main event and Briggs leaves. Stevie Turner then says Ava should make Briggs Trick’s tag partner. Robert Stone then turns around and says to not “say his name.”
