This week’s WWE NXT 2.0 episode was something special where most of the matches prominent featured the women’s division superstars. The main eventer of the episode was top Smackdown Superstar Natalya who took to Twitter today to thank WWE Legend Fit Finlay for elevating the female superstars to a stage where they are able to carry an entire show.
WWE NXT opened with Toxic Attraction – Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne retaining the NXT Women’s Tag Team Titles over Wendy Choo and Roxanne Perez. The inaugural NXT Women’s Breakout Tournament began with Fallon Henley defeating Sloane Jacobs and it proceeded with Nikkita Lyons defeating Arianna Grace.

Natalya worked in the main event of WWE NXT 2.0
Following the show, Natalya took to Twitter to thank Finlay for the magic he creates. Finlay has been working as an NXT Producer/Coach for some time now and the former Smackdown Women’s Champion commented on what a privilege it was to work with him at NXT.
“Last night’s @WWENXT was a very special show dominated by women. The man who laid down the foundation for the women in @WWE to have what we have today is Fit Finlay. What a privilege it was to work with him last night and be a part of the magic he creates. @ringfox1,” Natalya wrote while also sharing a backstage photo of the two. The post was retweeted by the likes of WWE NXT Women’s Champion Mandy Rose and Sasha Banks.
Natalya forced Jade to pass out in the Sharpshooter in the main event of WWE NXT 2.0. She then helped the up-and-coming Superstar to her feet and shared a hug in a show of respect to close things out. Following that Jade also responded to the match with the following comments on Twitter,
“I never tapped. @NatbyNature is a legend and future hall of famer. She brought out a different side of me & I’m forever grateful for the challenge. As for the rest of the @WWENXT women’s division, you can stop doubting me now. #WWENXT is living in the Generation of Jade. [skateboard emoji] [sign of the horns emoji],” she wrote.
There’s no word yet on if Natalya’s run on WWE NXT 2.0 is over or not. At present, she is set to team with Shayna Baszler against WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Sasha Banks and Naomi, with the titles on the line on this coming episode of Smackdown.
