It’s another double title night as we have two titles on the line. As a bonus, one of the matches, in this case Kushida defending the Cruiserweight Title against Santos Escobar, will be two out of three falls. That’s nice enough, but will it be nicer than Raquel Gonzalez defending the Women’s Title against Mercedes Martinez? Well yeah it probably will but that’s beside the point. Let’s get to it.
Opening recap/preview.
Karrion Kross vs. Austin Theory
Non-title and Scarlett/Johnny Gargano are here. Theory is rather worried to come in but Gargano talks him into it, meaning the stalking can start fast. A clothesline doesn’t do much to Kross but his clothesline takes Theory’s head off. Kross looks annoyed at Theory and tosses him with a Doomsday Saito. Gargano offers a distraction though and Theory rakes the eyes to take things outside.
Jeremy’s WWE NXT Review 5.11.21
Heidi ho, NXT fans! It’s Tuesday evening, and that means it’s time for another episode of NXT. I’m Jeremy, and NXT has a big show for us tonight. Both the NXT Women’s and Cruiserweight Championships will be on the line the latter in a two of three falls match while Karrion Kross will seek revenge against Austin Theory for last week and MSK battle Breezango. And of course there’s more, but without further ado let’s get right into it.
As a reminder, the GoFundMe for Larry’s daughters is still active and if you can make a donation, that would be awesome. Thank you so much to everyone who’s done so thus far.
Isaiah “Swerve” Scott’s new alliance has an official name, as revealed on tonight’s episode of WWE NXT. Tuesday’s episode saw Scott come out with the trio that aided him in last week’s Falls Count Anywhere match against Leon Ruff: AJ Francis, Ashante Thee Adonis, and Briana Brandy. Francis is now going by Top Dolla and Brandy is B-FAB.
Swerve officially announced the group’s name as Hit Row, which was applied for a trademark by WWE last week. You can see a clip from the segment below:
