WWE NXT Results (06/12/22): The New Day Appears
– WWE NXT Tag Team Champions Pretty Deadly appeared in the “A Real Christmas Story” segment. After flattering themselves for having an impressive 2022, they wanted to achieve bigger in 2023.
Smackdown roster members The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) then appeared out of nowhere on NXT and issued a challenge for the NXT Tag Team Titles at NXT Deadline. Instead of accepting, Pretty Deadly attacked them to ensue a brawl. New Day sent the champs outside the ring after which the title match between these two teams was confirmed.
– Lyra Valkyria was announced to make her debut on NXT, next week.
– Isla Dawn defeated Thea Hail (with Andre Chase and Duke Hudson), easily in her WWE NXT in-ring debut after delivering her Half-Nelson Suplexes. After the match, smoke filled the ring and Alba Fyre came out of it to attack Dawn. The referees came out to separate these two. Accidentally, Dawn spit her green mist on a referee.
– Josh Briggs and Brooks Jenson defeated Malik Blade and Edris Enofe (with Odyssey Jones) in a tag team match. Von Wagner started brawling with Jones in between the match. Briggs and Jensen delivered a half-and-half lariat combo on Enofe for the pin-fall win.
– Indi Hartwell defeated Fallon Henley and Wendy Choo in a Triple Threat Match to gain the final spot in the Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge set for WWE NXT Deadline.
After a top rope splash from Choo, Hartwell tossed Choo out of the ring and delivered a sliding lariat to the back of Henley’s head for the win. Hartwell then sent a warning to Mandy Rose about ending her lengthy NXT Women’s Title reign.
– In the main event segment of WWE NXT, Grayson Waller hosted The Grayson Waller Effect with Men’s Iron Survivor Challenge match participants for Deadline. As expected, a brawl broke out after JD McDonagh head-butted Waller. The five men kept on brawling as the show went off the air.
