NXT had a record three title changes in four matches last
night on The CW, a rough night for champions on a random
Tuesday!
The first title change came in the first match of the night,
with Ricky Smokes and Brad Baylor of the Vanity Project
defeating Darkstate to become the new NXT Tag Team
champions. The ending had the interference of Tony D’Angelo,
who attacked Saquon Shugars and helped Baylor in the ring
for the cover. This ended Darkstate’s 122-day run with the
titles.
The second title change was in a triple threat match for the
WWE Speed title, with champion Jasper Troy vs Eli Knight vs
Elio LeFleur. It was newcomer LeFleur who ended up pinning
Troy to become the new champion.
And in the main event of the show, Myles Borne became the
new NXT North American champion after he defeated Ethan
Page. Borne beat Page with his Borne Again finisher, ending
Page’s impressive 273-day reign as champ.
Only Jacy Jayne survived with her NXT Women’s title intact,
beating Sol Ruca, who was attacked by Zaria before the bell
rang, giving Jayne a quick and easy win.
