NXTWWE
After a backstage interview with Trick Williams, we got the segment with Bayley, Perez and Giulia.
Bayley tried to talk some sense into her former protege before the champ arrived.
Charlotte Flair showed up to tease that she might challenge for the NXT title following her Royal Rumble win despite all of us knowing that is not going to happen two times.
Cora Jade showed up with a kendo stick and attacked Bayley and Giulia from behind. She swung at Perez but missed, so it appears their friendship is officially done again.
Next up was Petrovic vs. Jordan. Neither competitor got a full entrance due to the break, but that meant we got right to the action when the show returned.
Jaida Parker showed up in the middle of the match and taunted Jordan, allowing Karmen to take control as the show went to a commercial. Parker joined commentary but did not sit at the table. She stood in front of it so she could keep an eye on the match.
Jordan seemed to be more aggressive at the end just because Parker was there. She won by a submission, but when she applied the hold again and refused to let go, the ref called for the decision to be reversed.
This was a fun match with some great spots, but it definitely left room to grow.
Parker and Jordan may end up becoming a tag team if Jordan continues down this path.
Result: Petrovic defeated Jordan by referee reversal
Notable Moments and Observations
- WWE should stop having Rumble winners teasing a challenge for an NXT title. It feels like an intentional downgrade.
- More wrestlers with swords please and thank you.
- Jordan is doing a great job of slowly integrating heel mannerisms.
- Jordan’s jumping kick after an arm twist looked fantastic.
- Ashante Adonis took a hit for Petrovic when he pushed her out of the way of a slingshot crossbody.
