WWE NXT Level Up 3/4/2022

Dante Chen vs. Xavier Bernal

Bernal headscissors him early then headlocks him. Bernal puts an abdominal stretch on him then Chen comes back with a backdrop. Bernal hits some dropkicks then crossbodies him for 2. Bernal tries to monkey flip him but Chen holds on and pins him.

This was about as basic of a match as you could possibly get with little of interest happening.

Tiffany Stratton vs. Erica Yan

Erica isa Chinese rower and crossfit girl. Tiff cartwheels out of an armlock and Yan grabs her by the leg and drags her around the mat. She then single leg dropkicks her. Tiff yells at her and one of Tiff's hair extensions comes off. She says "you ripped my hair off!" in a funny spot. Boy, she better hope Vince doesn't see that one as that will be her gimmick from now on.

Tiff stands on Yan's hair pulls her then puts her in something like a cobra clutch. Yan armdrags her out and hits some clotheslines. She then flatliners her then Tiff swinging slams her and standing moonsaults her. Tiff then yells "I'm Stronger!".

Tiff comes off the 2nd rope with a tornillo vader bomb style and wins it.

Tiffany getting her hair extension pulled off was really something else that I'm surprised hasn't gotten more play online. Tiff played it well though and looked really good here. I think they have something in her...but don't let Vince see this match or she will be losing her hair more.

Edris Enofe and Malik Blade vs Legado del Fantasma (Joaquin Wilde and Raul Mendoza)

Blade and Raul trade armlocks early. Blade back rolls Raul into an Enofe backdrop. Enofe rolls up Wilde then Wilde clips Blade. Blade takes some corner clotheslines from LdF then a double suplex.

Raul slingshot sentons Blade then hits a flurry of stomps on him. Raul single leg crabs Blade and stomps on his leg more. Raul then butt drops on it. He tries for a third but is pushed over the top.

Blade misses the hot tag at first then Enofe gets in and cleans house. He forward rolling fireman's carries Raul then rolls forward then backward into a single leg crab on Raul. Wilde breaks it up is thrown out by Blade. He then throws Blade into the post.

Enofe clotheslines Raul. Elektra Lopez distracts Enofe as he goes up top then Raul cartwheel enzugiri's him. Enofe then takes a russian leg sweep + flying knee combo for the LdF win.

This was a fine little match here with LdF working a bodypart, Blade and Enofe making a comeback then losing. Nothing wrong with this at all and I liked it.

Overall thoughts: 2 of the 3 matches were good. Not a bad way to spend 30 minutes but not worth going out of your way to see.
