WWE NXT Level Up 3/25/2022

Joe takes credit for making NXT Level Up. He says his opponent deserves a chance tonight for helping them break barriers.

Joe Gacy vs Quincy Elliot

Harland is out there with Joe as usual. Quincy Elliot may have the worst look in wrestling. He wears a long sleeve Fat Albert shirt and some shiny pants and he's easily over 350. I can't believe Vince let this guy on TV.

Quincy does some awful gyration and runs him over with a shoulder. Joe then hits some punches then chops. Qincy tries for a fireman's carry takeover but gets blocked and pounded on. Quincy hits some headbutts then splashes Joe's back. Harland gets on the apron and Quincy blows a kiss at him, then Joe puts himself in the tree of woe. Joe then kicks him from there and hits the handspring into the lariat from the ropes.

This was real quick and I just don't know what they were thinking with Quincy Elliot. He does seem to have some charisma to him and he can move, but his look is one of the worst ever.

Kiana James vs Ivy Nile

Kiana is Kayla Inlay. Her name sucked so I can get why they changed her name. Kiana kind of got a big entrance and an inset promo. She said 3 months ago she was working in an office and just dreaming of being a superstar. She said this is the first chapter. KJ kips up early and Ivy hip throws her. KJ uses the ropes to flip out of a wristlock. Ivy pulls her hair on a hiptoss attempt and clubs her chest then pounds on her.

Ivy snap suplexes her then does a superman forearm. Ivy then single leg dropkicks her in the corner for 2. KJ hits some okay lariats and slams her. She hits some corner spears then sideslams her for 2. Ivy then hit her dragon sleeper variation out of nowhere and won it.

Kiana didn't do anything wrong here and Ivy continues to look really good. It wasn't great or anything.

Jacket Time vs Edris Enofe and Malik Blade

Jiro does a nice leg trip and splits Blade's legs. Blade hits a high dropkick then Jiro taks a double hiptoss for 2. Jiro does a slingshot senton on Enofe's back. Kushida then does his hip toss into a dropkick on Enofe and Jiro hits some jacket punches.

Enofe rolls then single leg crabs Jiro. Kushida gets a hot tag in with a top rope chop and some kicks. Kushida then crossbodies him and hits a bicycle kick. Kushida handsprings into the corner and kicks both opponents then Jiro and Kushida baseball slide them. Jiro then top rope swantons Blade for 2. Kushida goes for a springboard back elbow but is caught then double team sitout powerbombed for the Enofe/Blade win.

It was short and not too bad at all. It's a total waste of Jiro and Kushida though and you have to imagine they are not happy with how things have turned out.

Overall thoughts: We had 3 decent and short matches. Nothing bad but nothing really worth seeing aside from Quincy Elliot's awful ring gear.
