This week’s episode of WWE NXT was highlighted by two massive championship matches on the card. In the opening contest of the night, Bron Breakker successfully retained his NXT Title against Vin Wagner with the Spear finisher. Then in the main event bout, Mandy Rose successfully retained NXT Women’s Title against Alba Fyre after a sudden interference.
As noted above, WWE NXT Women’s Championship was defended in a Last Woman Standing capacity between the two superstars. The challenger, Fyre was in a commanding position when Isla Dawn made her return to WWE TV.

Isla Dawn helps Mandy Rose to retain on NXT
Dawn showed up behind Fyre on top of a ladder that Fyre had previously set up next to the announcers’ desk for a potential top rope move. Dawn spit some sort of black mist into the face of Fyre and then sent her off the ladder through the commentary desk kept next to it. Rose was originally lying on it but she left the table in order to send her opponent crashing through it.
Rose was able to make it to her feet as the referee counted to ten and she retained her WWE NXT Women’s Title in the process. Back at NXT Halloween Havoc, Rose previously defended her title against Fyre in a one-on-one capacity. On that night, The Toxic Attraction members helped the champion with ringside distractions for title retention.
