New Delhi: WWE NXT has been spectacular in pay-per-views as NXT looked to build on the explosive fallout from No Mercy. Trick Williams was able to overcome Pete Dunne and earn another shot at NXT champion Ethan Page, while Giulia sent a warning shot to Roxanne Perez. TNA had a presence on the show, as Hammerstone and Rosemary made appearances.
It is worth mentioning that The Bloodline also made a shocking appearance to attack NXT tag team champions Nathan Frazier and Axiom, along with fellow visitors The Street Profits. It seems that NXT is seeking to build momentum every week ahead of its launch on the CW Network.

Former NXT women’s champion Lyra Valkyria returned to NXT to assist Tatum Paxley against the demons Wendy Choo and Rosemary. The match featured fun offence from both teams. Paxley took a lot of punishment, as the demons attempted to isolate her. Valkyria got the big hot tag, though the demons were able to withstand it. While the demons were able to mount a quick comeback, they came up short as Valkyria hit her finisher on Rosemary to win the match. The friends celebrated after the match.
Tony D’Angelo Is Having A Major Confidence Crisis:
Tony D’Angelo is in a slump. He was angry at Hammerstone for not taking care of business against Oba Femi. Hammerstone told D’Angelo to handle Femi himself, so things escalated into a match. D’Angelo was having a rough time with Hammerstone and simply walked away from ringside, losing by count-out. The family was shocked and disappointed, while Femi noted that D’Angelo was broken as he observed the match. D’Angelo met with the family about what happened and said he was afraid of Femi. D’Angelo said he doesn’t think he can beat Femi. Adriana Rizzo tried to help D’Angelo get over his doubt and he agreed to face Femi one more time.

The NXT Universe exploded when CM Punk arrived. Punk expressed excitement at being in an NXT ring. Punk said that he enjoys watching NXT and seeing talent develop. Punk puts over talent like Carmelo Hayes, Bron Breaker, Ethan Page, Lexis King, and Je’Von Evans. Punk goes to continue speaking, but is interrupted by NXT women’s champion Roxanne Perez. Perez puts over her love for Punk before saying she loved AJ Lee more. Suddenly, Perez gets upset and says she should have been a Drew McIntyre fan as a kid and that Punk is attempting to steal her glory before Drew McIntyre ends his career inside Hell in a Cell. While shocked, Punk puts Roxanne Perez as possibly being on the same level, if not better, than former World champions Bianca Belair and IYO Sky. Giulia arrives to inform Perez that her time as women’s champion is almost up. Punk stopped the women from brawling and later endorsed Giulia to win the title.
