Pre Show Notes
Megan Morant and Sam Roberts were the hosts. Sam and Megan introduced the show from the WWE studio set. The hosts ran through the advertised card. The hosts started their discussion with their predictions for the Blake Monroe vs. Jaida Parker fight.
The hosts sent the show to a interview with Sarah Schreiber and Blake Monroe. For some reason, the interview got dramatic background music. Blake reiterated that Jaida Parker only attacked her to feel more important because Blake Monroe is important. Sarah said Blake sounds patronizing. Blake said that Jaida is all at fault and can’t get out of matches without getting suspended. Blake said it’s not personal, it’s obersaveration that people only talk about Blake Monroe.
Blake said Jaida will face hell. Blake cut off Sarah saying how popular Jaida is. Sarah talked about how she liked seeing people hurt when she hurt Jaida Parker. Blake wondered if Jaida can handle the spotlight? Blake said nothing will matter to Jaida at Vengeance Day other than surviving Blake Monroe. The panel gave more thoughts on the match…
Separate shots of Kelani Jordan and Lola Vice were shown as they were arriving at the WWE Performance Center. Blake Howard interviewed Kelani Jordan. Howard asked Jordan how she feels going in this personal feud for the first time in an Underground Match. Kelani talked about being friends with Lola Vice since the beginning in WWE. She said she took it personal when they kicked her out of the locker room when she won the Knockouts Title.
Kelani said it seems like Jordan was jealous of her. Jordan bragged about being the inaugural Women’s North American Champion, having many awards, and recently being the Knockouts Title. Jordan said Lola needs to look in the mirror and see that she has the same opportunities as Kelani and just hasn’t has the same success. Howard noted that Lola is undefeated in Underground matches. Kelani said that is respectable, but Kelani Jordan is a stellar athlete and records are meant to be broken.
Kelani said she made a submission specialist in Lola tap out and was smart in injuring Lola’s hand. Kelani talked about getting advice from Shayna Baszler to help her take on Lola. Kelani said she wonders if Lola can fight without a hand. Howard wished Kelani good luck to close the interview. The hosts gave their thoughts on the match…[c]
Separate shots of Tatum Paxley and The Culling were shown as they arrived at the Performance Center. They hype package aired for the Tatum Paxley vs. Izzi Dame match. The hosts then gave their thoughts on the match.
The hosts recapped Tony D’Angelo hunting down DarkState over the past month. The hosts then talked about the Tony D vs. Dion Lennox match and Tony D’s “Phase I”. They then cut to Sarah Schreiber interviewing Lola Vice. Sarah asked Lola while Lola kicked Kelani out of the locker room. Lola talked about loyalty being everything. Lola talked about how when Kelani won the Knockouts title, she decided to betray the NXT locker room by joining TNA’s team instead of representing NXT in TNA.
Lola also talked about Kelani backstabbing her in a fight too. Lola talked about Kelani costing her title matches. Lola said she doesn’t understand why Lola is jealous when she’s winning the titles and Lola hasn’t won any titles in NXT yet. Sarah asked Lola if she’s in over her head with an injured hand. Lola said she makes her name out of knocking people out.
She said a broken hand doesn’t change that fact, just changes the way she’ll knock people. Lola said Kelani is just stealing her fiancé’s gimmick of trying to be “HER”. Lola said Kelani is stepping into her world, the underground, and in the end the standout will not be able to stand up. The preshow hosts gave more thoughts on the Lola vs. Kelani match. A hype video aired for the Kelani Jordan vs. Lola vice match…[c]
The hosts recapped Zaria turning on Sol Ruca a few weeks ago, leading to Robert Stone having to address the Women’s title picture after Sol Ruca interfered in the Women’s title match on the previous episode of NXT. A hype package aired for the Joe Hendry vs. Ricky Saints match. The hosts then gave their thoughts on the match. After running through the card again the pre-show ended…

Entrances for the opening match took place…
1. Blake Monroe vs. Jaida Parker in a Street Fight. Both women traded some slaps and ground and pound. Kendo Sticks were lined up against the ropes. The ground and pound spilled to ringside. While Parker was dragging out a table, Monroe hit Jaida with a Mafia Kick. Jaida reversed a DDT with a suplex. Blake stole a umbrella from a fan and hit Jaida with hit. Monroe folded up the table to boos. Monroe packed up the table to boos when the crowd chanted “we want tables”.
Blake punted Jaida in the gut in the ring. Blake hit Jaida with a neckbreaker for a two count. Monroe used kendo sticks to elevate a chair on the ropes. Jaida sent Blake’s face into the elevated chair. Jaida then tackled Blake against the announce table. Jaida then pulled out a table to cheers. Jaida went for Hip Notic, but Blake dodged, sending Jaida’s ass into the steel steps. Blake hit Jaida with a Missile Dropkick for a nearfall.
Blake beat up Jaida with a Kendo Stick and hit her with a Side Russian Legsweep for a nearfall. Jaida tackled Blake into the corner and worked on her with strikes. Jaida slipped out of the top rope and slammed Jaida’s head into the top buckle off a pumphandle. Blake put Jaida in a Tree of Woe with a chair behind her. Blake sandwiched Jaida in chairs and mocked Jaida’s high step.
Monroe hit Jaida with a chair assisted hip attack in the Tree of Woe for a nearfall. Blake wrapped a pearl necklace around her hand and gave Jaida a right hand for a two count. Jaida got a kendo stick and started rallying on Blake. Jaida worked on Blake with chained Snapmares and a shoulder tackle. Jaida hit Blake with a Super Blockbuster. Blake rolled to ringside to recover.
Jaida was selling a hurt right butt cheek. Blake worked on Jaida with a trash can lid. Blake pulled out a black bag and a brick. Blake dropped the brick after getting hit in the gut and back by Jaida’s chair. Jaida put Blake on the Slim Jim table. Jaida gave Blake Monroe a Banzai Drop through the table.

Blake whipped Jaida through the standing Kendo Sticks. Blake hit Jaida with a running knee for a nearfall. Blake Monroe poured out “diamonds” from the black bag. Jaida threw some pocket diamonds on Jaida who was on the top. Blake slammed Jaida to the mat with a handstand Frankensteiner and then hit her with the Glamour DDT on the diamonds for the victory.
Blake Monroe defeated Jaida Parker via pinfall in 12:59.
John’s Thoughts: A fun PG hardcore match opener that had the crowd hyped up. Jaida Parker has been off TV for so long that we forget how good she is at PLE matches. When she’s in a PLE she steps things up, shows good ring awareness, and finds a way to put together a creative match. Even though we’re not going to get the bloodbaths like we did in AEW, Blake Monroe still is at her best in hardcore matches. This match was a good win to give her some in ring credibility. What I would like to see is them putting more emphasis on Blake Monroe’s Jeckyl and Hyde thing where she is a more credible fighter when she digs into the dark half of her persona.
Vic Joseph hyped WWE Hall of Fame ticket sales…
Ethan Page was sitting in his locker looking depressed. Ricky Saints showed up and asked Ethan Page where he was when he was jumped on Tuesday? Page said he was in the back having to clear his mind after losing something important to him. Ricky said that Joe is going to have Myles Borne in his corner to help him keep his title. Ricky asked Ethan to be a friend and help him get that championship. Page agreed to help Ricky. Ricky said that he’ll be a two time champ and Page will be a two time North American Champion. Ricky left and Page muttered “eh, two time”…
A convertable pulled up to the parking lot and DarkState jumped the driver. It was an imposter Tony D. The real Tony D showed up and beat up Dion. Dion dodged Tony D chucking a Keg at him. Tony D dragged Dion into the Performance Center and closed the garage door to keep the rest of DarkState out. Tony D beat up Dion throughout the backstage. Osiris, Saquon, and Cutler managed to catch up.
Security and the referee dragged the rest of Dark State away and said they need to start the match in the ring. Tony D dragged Dion back outside. The rest of DarkState put the boots to Tony D again. Saquon Shugars was about to hit Tony D with a crowbar, but OTM showed up to beat up the extra DarkState members. Tony D then dragged Dion to Gorilla Position.
Tony D tackled Dion through the reverse end of the Crow’s Nest wall that most wrestlers get put through. Mike Rome made sure to get out of the way early. The bell rang once both men got to their feet in the ring…
2. Tony D’Angelo vs. Dion Lennox. Dion had the initial advantage. Dion gave Tony D punches while draped on the middle rope. Dion gave Tony D a spinebuster for a two count. Tony D dodged a corner splash and gave Dion chained German Suplexes. Low key, Tony D’s curly hair currently, kinda makes him look a bit like Sami Zayn. Tony D hit Dion with a Torture Rack Neckbreaker and dumped Dion to ringside. Dion dodged Tony D’s tackle, sending Tony’s shoulder into the steel steps.
Tony D dodged Dion trying to smash his foot with the steel steps. Dion tossed Tony D into the crowd. Dion Lennox hit Tony D with a Suplex from the barricade, through the announce table.

Tony D’Angelo defeated Dion Lennox via pinfall in 7:04 (after the bell rang).
John’s Thoughts: An entertaining brawl, even though the direction of this feud had Dion having no chance in hell of going over (I was hoping for DarkState to put on a little bit of resistance). Maybe time to break up DarkState and try to build each man up individually? Dion was actually really solid here in what he had to do. What hurts him is they keep telling us he’s important, but he’s anchored down by DarkState being so poorly booked. I still remember Dion’s most memorable run in WWE being when he was a bookworm giving romance advice to developmental wrestlers. As much as I want to see another King of the Mountain Shield faction, DarkState ain’t it. Let’s not have Dion use DarkState as a vehicle and let’s see if he can get over on his own.
Vic Joseph hyped WWE’s pop-up store for WrestleMania Weekend…
