The November 26 episode of NXT brought fans even closer to Deadline, and this was a wild episode. Ava, The Rock’s daughter who has had a non-wrestling role for a long time, even took a bump.
Ava was on hand as NXT General Manager to announce that everyone who lost their Iron Survivor Challenge matches would get another shot. They are having a last-chance match next week with all the losers, but Eddy Thorpe wasn’t happy about that situation.
Eddy Thorpe feels as though he was screwed out of his match at Deadline, and he wanted to talk to Ava about it. She was finished talking about it, but he grabbed her to keep the conversation going.
At the last moment, someone started brawling backstage, and it caused the door to slam against Ava, which sent her to the ground. Shawn Michaels wasn’t happy about that at all. After the commercial break, they showed several NXT officials tending to Ava, and even though she seemed to be okay, things weren’t okay with HBK.
The WWE Hall of Famer sprung into action, and he grabbed Eddy Thorpe. He pinned Thorpe against a metal door, and he threatened him before sending him packing for the night. This was an aggressive moment for Mic hales, something we haven’t seen out of him for a long, long time.
