Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2025/02/wwe-nxt-2252025.html

Green slaps and pushes Sol. Sol slaps her back then facebusters her. Piper and Zar try to lift each other. They then headbutt each other at the same time and lariat each other at the same time. Piper shoulders her over. Zar running lariats Piper.

Piper splashes Green on accident. Zar F-5's Piper onto Green. Sol then hits a sol snatcher on Green and pins her.
Thoughts: It wasn't the safest tag as Sol went splat outside and Green got her nose busted open but it was entertaining especially in the 2nd half. I loved the electric chair spot and the two teams meshed pretty well. It could have been a little cleaner but this was a success and I thought it was good.
We see Jordynne Grace talking to Ava earlier in the day. She says she has unfinished business with Roxanne. Cora Jade walks in and says she was told Ava had time to talk.

She says she will take the title to places Grace and Masha couldn't. Grace tells her the day she wins the title is the day she retires. Ava sets a match up between them.
We get a commercial for WWE Evolve which debuts tomorrow night.
Trick Williams talks to Ava in the back. Uriah Connors and Kale Dixon come in and says they have a new office gift for Ava. Trick says to come back another time and go talk to Mr. Chase. Kale says Trick is the reason Chase U got put on the line. Trick threatens him against the rollaway door and it seems like a match might be set between them.

KJ misses a top rope 450. JP running hip attacks her and wins.
Thoughts: They did a little much here with the spanish fly not meaning much. Other than that, I liked it. JP was able to hang in there with the more flashier KJ and was able to work with someone who worked a different style. They got a lot of time and KJ really went all out for this. The crowd was into it and it was a good showing for both girls.
JP says she will be at Roadblock watching Giulia's and Stephanie Vaquer's matches.
Kelly Kincaid is back and interviews The D'Angelo Family. Tony welcomes her back. Tony says he has a lot to say about Izzi Dame but says next question instead. Tony says there's only one family in NXT, not Spears' Family, but The D'Angelo Family.

Matt says they know who they are and enjoy their work.
Matt says they are young, strong and hungry. Matt says they have to break the norm sometimes to get noticed and take things to the extreme. Tank asks if he's talking about tables, ladders and chairs.

Thoughts: This ended prematurely, so there's no rating for this one. I'm not sure what happened to Jade as I didn't see anything obvious.
We get a split screen interview between Ethan Page and Je'Von Evans. Page says Evans got into WWE easy while it took him as all his life. Page says he would break Page's jaw again if he could. They say they will be no rules in NYC. Evans said Page took everything from him when he injured him. Evans says people like Page try to hold him down but nobody will do that anymore or take his joy and smile. They then argue more as we cut away.
Trick Williams vs Kale Dixon
Uriah Connors is with Kale. Trick flying knees Kale to start then hits mounted shots. Kale is out and Trick wins via ref stop.
Thoughts: This was an unusual finish to do after a match just ended due to injury. I don't know why they squashed Kale this way.
Trick gets on the mic after. He tells Eddy Thorpe to come get him if he wants him. Eddy appears on the riser. He says Trick has been struggling with not being champ.

Shawn tells Tony his family is done. Tony and Shawn grab each other by the chin together. They trade punches. Tony belly to belly suplexes him. Tony hits a running spear for 2.
Shawn sharpshooters Tony. Tony gets out then twisting fisherman's busters him for 2. Izzi tries to help out Shawn, Rizzo dives on her and the two factions fight. Stacks is pushed into Tony, knocking off the apron and onto a chair back first. Shawn hits a death valley driver on Tony for 2. Tony flips out of a move and tries to spinebuster Shawn but his back gives out. Shawn then pins Tony.
Thoughts: I figured Shawn would win here as he kind of had to and he's here to wrestler young wrestlers, which he will be doing a lot of as champ. I thought Shawn did okay working Tony's back but it was just an average back for the most part that didn't really get going until the two factions fought.
Overall thoughts: The first two matches got thing off to a good start but then we had a stoppage due to injury in the next match, a squash and then an average main. A lot of the stars weren't in action here which hurt this one some and with the big show coming up soon, we weren't getting a lot of new developments. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 overall but I didn't think it was a must see show.
