WWE NXT Level Up 7/21/2023

WWE NXT Level Up 7/21/2023

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2023/07/wwe-nxt-level-up-7142023.html 

Tank Ledger and Hank Walker vs Quincy Elliot and Ikemen Jiro





We haven't seen Jiro for a long time. Quincy wants a hug from Hank but Hank headlocks him. Quincy dances off shoulderblock attempts. Quincy does forward and backward roll and a cartwheel out of an armlock. Hank and Tank sandwich Quincy with a splash. Jiro gets in as does Tank. They both do cartwheels and blow kisses.

Tank shoulders over Jiro then does his jacket pose with him. Jiro armdrags him and misses a slingshot move. Tank back splashes him then does a regular splash. Hank splashes Jiro too. Tank lariats Jiro from the apron and slingshot splashes him. Quincy gets in and hits superman punches on Tank. Quincy hits a flying euro then corner lariats him. Quincy hits a bulldog.

Jiro hits jacket punches on Hank then is lariated over the top. Quincy spanks Tank then Tank does it back to him. Quincy takes a sandwich splash then is tripped with Hank hitting a flying forearm at the same time for the win.

These guys worked well together but I can't put this over due to all of the gay stuff that happened here with people blowing kisses and spanking each other. 

 


Izzi Dame is interviewed. She debuts tonight. She said she is the friend that nobody wants but everyone needs. She said she says how it is and keeps things real. She said she will give NXt the reality check it needs and says it is what it is. Izzi was good here in first her promo.

Izzi Dame vs Dani Palmer







This is Izzy Dame's debut. Dani is back from injury here and does a cartwheel into a flip in the aisle way. They say Izzi is almost 6 foot tall and say she was a volleyball player. They say she is 24.

Izzi pushes her over and poses. Izzi shoulders her over, Dani hits a nice leapfrog and Dani flips over her back body drop attempt. Dani dropkicks her then uses the buckles to bulldog her. Dani catches her off the ropes and swings her around but Dani side headlock takeovers her. Dani gut kicks her and is dropped body first off a reverse headscissors attempt in the corner.

Izzi foot chokes her and splashes her. Izzi blocks her sunset flip and catches her off the 2nd rope and drops her. Izzi clotheslines her and misses a splash. Dani hits some flying moves and a jumping double knee. Dani top rope crossbodies her and wins it.

Izzi didn't get to do much here and was mostly just a base to catch Dani. She didn't botch anything. Dani looked good as she always does.

Dante Chen vs Javier Bernal


Chen blocks a gut kick then rolls him up. JB knees him in the gut then armlocks him. Chen armdrags him then headlock takeovers him. JB works the arm and stun guns him. JB double stomps his gut then backdrops him. Chen hits an elbow drop then chinlocks him. JB comes off the 2nd rope and takes a boot. Chen hits a soul foot then hits some punches. Chen hit some shots and atomic drops him. JB eye pokes him whe nthe ref isn't looking then hits a reverse ddt for 2. Chen knees him in the head then running double chops him and wins it.

This wasn't anything special and was very basic.

Overall thoughts: The main was weak. Izzi Dame had an okay debut with a good promo and the less said about the tag match, the better.
