WWE NXT Level Up 3/8/2024

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2024/03/wwe-nxt-level-up-312024.html 

Dion Lennox vs Scrypts

They said Dion was out due to a broken nose.  He shoulders Scrypts over then takes him down with the waistlock. Scrypts flips out of a lunge and dropkicks him. Dion hits corner spears then corner splashes him. Dion hits a high northern lights suplex for 2. Nima has words for DIon then Scrypts yanks on Dion's arm.

Scrypts chokes him over the 2nd rope and leg lariats him there. Scrypts 2nd rope crossbodies Dion for 2. Scrypts armlocks him then Dion hiptosses him. Dion shoulders him over and hits back elbows. Dion side slams him and almost falls on it.

Scrypts sends Dion's arm into the buckles then does a handspring cartwheel into a cutter. Scrypts picks up the win.

Not the greatest match here. Scrypts controlled most of it with simple armwork. Dion didn't get much of a comeback here either and I just don't know why they did this the way they did. 

Karmen Petrovic is interviewed. She said she's always excited to be on Level Up. She said Izzi Dame is big, powerful and has Kiana James. She said it's technically 2v1. She said she's a martial arts fighter though and has always been ready for anything. She said she will beat Izzi and beat Kiana too if she gets in the way.

Karmen Petrovic vs Izzi Dame

Izzi backs her up and boots her. KP hits leg kicks then side headlocks her. Izzi blocks a headlock takeover and works her fingers. KP kicks her out of the corner then flying kicks her leg. KP screw kicks her for 2.

KP boots her and full nelson slams her. Izzi bangs KP's head off the buckles then she backbreakers her. Izzi slams her then torture racks her. KP push kicks her then takes a boot. Izzi misses an elbow drop and KP 2nd rope crossbodies her. KP side kicks her then flips from her isde ot take her down. KP misses a kick then Izzi hits the "z-qil", which is a flapjack out of the samoan drop and wins it.

It was average. KP's improving and getting how to use her kicks. Izzi's not too special in the ring but does get how to work like a bigger girl.

Dante Chen vs Tavion Heights

Chen has a single facepaint stripe today. Tav takes him down and trips him. Tav side headlocks him and Chen works the arm and fingers. Chen headscissors him and they stand off. Chen armlocks him then Tav lariats him. Chen hits corner spears 

Tav hits pulls him down off an up and over then Tav yanks on the arm. Chen crucifixes him then Tav rolls him up. Chen hits a bad neckbreaker. Tav does a backdrop and they trade punches. Tav hits a hard lariat on the ropes then Chen lariats him on the ropes. Tav dropkicks him.

Tav hits lariats and pulls him down backwards. Tav does a fireman's carry throw then doctor bombs him for 2. Chen knees him in the face then hits a southof heaven chokeslam. Tav overhead germans him, making him land poorly then Tav does a nice belly to belly to win it.

This wasn't that good. These two didn't mesh that well and had some sloppy moments.

Overall thoughts: Not a real interesting edition of Level Up. The girls match was the best thing on the show and I didn't really like the other two matches here.
