NXT Level Up

Written by Nickolye

Welcome to the newest show called NXT Level Up! Matches announced for the next episode - Jacket Time vs. Joe Gacy and Harland; Xyon Quinn vs. James Drake; and Elektra Lopez vs. Sarray are all scheduled for tonight. This show replaces the now-defunct 205 Live which no longer featured the cruiserweights the show was made for. Watch along on Peacock at 10 PM ET and hit F5 or refresh as often as you like for the latest updates!

This is the 205 Live replacemement, which serves as a secondary NXT weekly show now. The commentators for this show are Sudu Shah and Nigel McGuinness, and already the audio is louder than it was last week. It's time for NXT to Level Up!

* Xyon Quinn vs. James Drake

Zack Gibson is at ringside to support his mate Drake. This match starts out slow-paced, but Quinn shows his athletism with a leapfrog and strength by not budging from a shoulder block and delivers a stalling vertical suplex. Gibson tries to save and help his partner, but Quinn is too determined to be held down, even though Gibson does get in a cheap shot behind the ref's back. Drake's chops are helping Quinn refocus, so he tries to make him pass out from the sleeper hold, but Quinn fights back with heavy punches, a headbutt, and a deep clothesline in the corner. Quinn throws him off the top turnbuckle, Gibson distracts Quinn from the apron, and Drake schoolboy-rolls him up grabbing the tights for 3. Winner: James Drake!

Quinn gets his hands on Gibson after the match and drops him with the rolling Samoan drop!

* Elektra Lopez vs. Sarray

Raul Mendoza and Joaquin Wilde are at ringside for Elektra in this match. Sarray offers a handshake at the beginning but Elektra declines. This match will be about Sarray's quickness against Elektra's size and power, and she uses that power to drag Sarray around by the hair, body slams her with force, and drops her with a wheelbarrow facebuster. Sarray tries to roll her up, gets a 1-count, avoids an elbow drop, hits a missile dropkick, hits double stomps, and a double stomp from the middle ropes. Wilde takes the bullet eating the low dropkick in the ropes to save Lopez, and Elektra takes that advantage to hit the modified dominator on Sarray for the win. Winner: Elektra Lopez!

The commentary is only slightly better from last week at this point, but at least I can hear them better.

* Jacket Time vs. Joe Gacy & Harland

Kushida and Joe Gacy start the match for their teams, and Kushida shows why he's the technical wizard. Ikemen Jiro tags in with his yellow jacket, they tease a hug, but Jiro does an armdrag and hurricanrana, although Gacy avoids the jacket punch. They go in for the hug but it's Jiro with an inside cradle for 2 and hits a couple of jacket punches. The mood changes when Harland tags in and he's as stoic as usual and no-selling kicks her to the thigh. Harland hits an avalanche in the corner and slams Jiro's face to the mat. The big man bends Jiro over the top ropes, but Gacy has to talk him out of it, possibly to avoid disqualification in the ropes. Harland beats him down and drags him across the ring by the leg for Gacy to tag in, and Gacy hits a DDT for a near-fall. Jiro lands on him for a 2-count then makes the hot tag.

Kushida fights back in his second Level Up main event to hit a handspring back elbow, hits the palm strike in the corner, then rolls him around the ring and gets a 2-count. Harland gets involved, Kushida barely clips him with the handspring kick, then puts Gacy in the octopus stretch. Harland breaks the count, Gacy talks him out of it, Harland steps back out, Jiro tags in and they both hit the basement dropkick to Gacy. Harland distracts Jiro, Gacy hits the handspring clothesline, Harland gets the tag, blasts Kushida with a shoulder tackle, and splashes Jiro for the 1-2-3. Winners: Harland  & Joe Gacy!

That's all for this week's NXT Level Up!
