— After the match, Page helps Saints to the back as Hendry waves his hands and the NXT Championship with teh fans. The show then goes off the air.
Joe Hendry will be putting the NXT Championship on the line for the first time on NXT programming since retaining against Vanity Project's Jackson Drake on the February 10 episode of NXT as he defends against former titleholder Ricky Saints. Tensions between the two men have been on the rise since Hendry won the title in a Seven Man Ladder Match on the February 3 episode of NXT as Saints was moments away from winning back the title. Things between the two men culminated on this past Tuesday's edition of NXT when Saints sang a song about Hendry and a brawl broke out between the two men, Saints' newfound allies Vanity Project, and North American Champion Myles Borne.
Another championship will be on the line tonight, as Izzi Dame of The Culling puts the Women's North American Championship on the line against Tatum Paxley in what will mark her first defense since retaining in a Triple Threat Match against Thea Hail and Lola Vice on February 3. The former stablemates and best friends turned rivals each hold a win against one another, with Dame defeating Paxley at NXT Deadline on December 6 and Paxley scoring a win against Dame at the NXT New Year's Evil television special on January 6.
Speaking of Vice, she will be competing in a match of her own as she collides with longtime rival Kelani Jordan in an NXT Underground Match. While Vice has become known for competing in NXT Underground matches, she's been struggling with a fracture in her hand over the past few weeks and was advised by a doctor not to take part in tonight's match this past Tuesday. Meanwhile, Jordan trained with former WWE star Shayna Baszler at her RUDOS Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school this past Tuesday to prepare for the match.
Jaida Parker and Blake Monroe have had a number of issues with one another over the course of the past several weeks, with Parker having cost Monroe a First Round Match For The WWE Women's Speed Championship Number One Contenders Tournament against Thea Hail on the February 24 episode of NXT and the pair having gotten into a verbal confrontation with one another this past Tuesday. Tonight, they look to put things between them to rest as they collide with one another in a Street Fight.
Additionally, Tony D'Angelo will be squaring off with DarkState's Dion Lennox on his quest to he continues to take out Lennox and his stablemates Saquon Shugars, Cutler James, and Osiris Griffin for good as a means of retribution for putting him on the shelf for a number of months.
If NXT had been it's own company, it would surely have better ratings than the rest of the WWE product over time. I don't understand the logic behind it at all.
