Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2022/08/wwe-nxt-20-822022.html
Trick Williams talks about his rounds match tonight with Wes Lee. He said he will knock out Wes Lee. Wes says he is coming out swinging and says he will prove Trick's jaw is made of glass.
Cora Jade says she will put Zoey Stark where she belongs, just like Roxanne Perez. Zoey says nothing will stop her from taking the title.
Tony says Santos cost him two titles and said we'll see what he has to say when he's face to face.
This was a cool little intro.
Lyons misses a kick and is rolled up then Lyons spin kicks her and does a jumping split to win it.
Kiana spent most of the match working the leg and then Lyons kind of did her usual kick offense anyway and won it which didn't work for me.
Rounds Match - Trick Williams vs Wes Lee
1st Round - They are wearing boxing gloves here, but they say this is not a boxing match since you can win by pin or submission. Trick does a lot of showboating early. Wes hits some gut shots, Trick STO's him and then they trade punches. They each hit body punches and Trick knees him in the gut. Trick flurries him in the corner then Wes comes back with shots.

Andre Chase is talking to Arianna Grace. Thea is accused of hitting her in the eye and she says it is on accident. Chase says they will settle their differences in a one on one match. Arianna said she was thinking of a lawsuit.

They shake hands. Santos says we will find out who is the leader of leaders and Tony tells him to say goodbye to the Legados because he rids NXT of them next week.
