WWE NXT RESULTS AND LIVE BLOG FOR JULY 21
There’s nothing in between the hope and misery, all joy erased by my poorly wired circuitry. Contract and then release, inflame old injuries, overwrite the good I’ve done while rewriting my history. From discord to harmony, the song sang out, and now I’m here to liveblog this pro wrestling show for you, folks.
The show opens with general manager Robert Stone giving instructions to referee Darryl Sharma that Tony D’Angelo and Naraku not be allowed to touch before tonight’s main event.
Thea Hail rolls off and Stone tries to shrug her off.
Nattie Neidhart rolls up to complain about being forced to wrestle Jaida Parker again and Stone tells her to get to the point so she says she’s gonna end Jaida tonight.
Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno make their entrance ahead of our opening match, joined shortly thereafter by Saquon Shugars.

Lizzy Rain is in the locker room saying she didn’t expect this division to be more chaotic than a mosh pit.
Thea Hail rolls up complaining she can’t get a word in with the general manager, Skylar Raye agrees, Jaida Parker kvetches about Nattie Neidhart and Kendal Grey asks if she’s not the reason they have to deal with Nattie in the first place? A little bickering happens, Thea defuses the situation and we go to break.
Back from commercial, Kendal Grey and Wren Sinclair make their entrance, followed shortly after by Lola Vice.
Grey says she would have liked to give somebody else a shot instead of giving Vice her rematch, and Lola says she has to deal with the fact that she’s not done yet, Vice City continues to grow, and she took every setback on the chin and kept moving forward, and she counts of women who came before her and says it was supposed to be her time.
Kendal says she gets it, it was her time but then Lola ran into her. Vice says she remembers when Grey was nervous, shy, overwhelmed, and she was cute, and she remembers Kendal saying that she looked like a champion, and she was right, but when Lola looked at her, she just saw someone who needed validation.
Grey says the title is the validation and she’s not gonna apologize for not needing years in action here to get to it. Vice says she’s right, but with or without the title around her waist, she looks like a champion and she sees a woman who knows her worth while Kendal looks shy, insecure, and vulnerable.
Kendal says you can call her what you like but she comes out here every week and is honest with herself and with the crowd and she doesn’t think there’s a woman in the back who can beat her at her best. Lola says she beat her one time and one time only, and she can beat her in a match but she can’t beat her in a fight.
Sinclair tries to talk Grey down but the champion isn’t having it and says she thinks she knows what Lola is proposing and it’s perfect. Vice says she’ll give her an extra week to train, and on August 4, bring her title and meet her in NXT Underground. Kendal agrees and Lola says she doesn’t sound nervous but she should be because little miss pick-me is gonna have to get picked up off the mat.
Kendal tells Lola that after she’s done kicking her ass, she can go back to shaking it, and they square up in the middle of the ring.
A video package for Naraku vs. Tony D’Angelo follows.

Tank Ledger gives him a pep talk and throws him back inside, Bossman Slam… CARVER KICKS OUT! Keanu hosses him up for a ribbreaker, powerdrive elbows, throwing Walker into the ropes for a northern elbow!

Nattie Neidhart, Karmen Petrovic, and Nikkita Lyons roll up on Thea Hail backstage.
