WWE NXT delivered fallout show from Deadline. Here are the complete results from tonight’s broadcast on The CW:
- Kelani Jordan defeated Jordynne Grace - Jordan picked up a hard-fought victory over the TNA star after the two competitors brawled throughout the arena. Jordan sent Grace crashing into the barricade before finishing her off with a 450 Splash for the pinfall.
- Shiloh Hill defeated Lexis King - The WWE LFG Season 2 winner made his impressive NXT in-ring debut, dominating King before finishing him with his finisher, Whisper to the Beast.
- Sol Ruca defeated Wren Sinclair (with Kendal Grey) - Ruca hit the Sol Snatcher for the win while being watched by Zaria from the crowd.
- Oba Femi (c) defeated Je’Von Evans to retain the NXT Championship - In a shocking turn of events, former NXT Champion Ricky Saints interfered by pulling the referee out of the ring when Evans appeared to have the match won. Femi capitalized and hit Fall from Grace for the victory.
