WWE NXT Level Up 7/1/2022

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2022/06/wwe-nxt-level-up-6242022.html

Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo vs Hank Walker

This is Hank's debut. He is wearing a button up shirt, jeans and has a country theme.

Stacks hits some leg kicks then Hank hits some nice armdrags. Hnak picks him up and drops him with the armlock then does a Pat O'Connor go around while he has him in it. Nigel confuses him with Seth Rogan then Stacks hits a big knee to the gut.

Stacks hits corner spears then does a 2nd rope euro uppercut for 2. Hank backslides him then Stacks lariats him for 2. Hank hits a big hiptoss then corner splashes him. Hank the ncrossbodies him and takes his shirt off. Hank has a flabby gut then Stacks kicks him in the side of the head for the win.

Hank was fine here in his debut but he needs to get in shape. This wasn't bad at all.

Amari Miller vs Sloane Jacobs

Sloane takes her down. They try some leg sweeps and pin attempts then do a stand off. Sloane takes her down by the arm. Sloane crossbodies her as she runs the ropes. Sloane does an arm and chin lock on her. Amari tries to throw her out but Sloane gets caught on the bottom rope then facekicks her. Amari hits a facewash kick then Sloane reverses her pin attempt for 2. Amari then gives her a coconut crush and wins.

This was not good at all. Sloane is pretty but she's not good at all right now and had multiple screw-ups here.

Javier Bernal vs Duke Hudson

Duke gets on his knees to fight him and mocks him. Duke shoulders him over. JB goes for a leg trip but Duke blocks it. JB side headlocks him then JB hits more leg kicks. He dropkicks Duke in the leg then spinning headscissors him. JB hits a step up enzugiri then takes a corner uranage.

Duke slams him and noogies him on his cheek. JB rolls him up then Duke hits another slam. Duke cranks his neck then JB reverses a slam into a swinging ddt. JB hits some legkicks then jumping flatliners him. JB then sliding lariats him. JB counters his corner uranage then top rope crossbodies him for 2. JB goes up top but gets crotched then Duke hits a razor's edge to win it.

There wasn't anything wrong with this. Bernal looked decent here and Duke was fine as usual.

Overall thoughts: The women's match sucked but Hank Walker had a decent debut and Bernal vs Duke was fine.
