Fans are ready to view some top action on Saturday night\u2019s show.<\/p>\n<p>Before the big event, WWE gave Cora Jade a chance to prove herself against Bayley. Meanwhile, Trick Williams appeared on the show to accept a challenge from Eddy Thorpe for a strap match without too much buildup.<\/p>\n<p>Grayson Waller and Austin Theory also did well to build their match against Oba Femi for the top title. However, the company continued to tease tensions between the A-Town Down Under teammates.<\/p>\n<p>Josh Briggs and Yoshiki Inamura also had a solid showing on the show earning them a Tag Team Championship Match against Nathan Frazer and Axiom. Judging by how well the champions are performing, it&#8217;s unlikely that Briggs and Inamura will win the titles.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>While things went smoothly most of the time, there were some issues that need attention. Check out the three big mistakes NXT made before Vengeance Day.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2>#3. Another disappointment for TNA fans who tuned in for NXT<\/h2>\n<p>TNA fans were excited to see JDC (formerly Fandango) return to NXT on last week\u2019s show to challenge Lexis King for the Heritage Cup. The two men battled on the latest episode of the show.<\/p>\n<p>It was a good match that had some top spots. Unsurprisingly, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/brian-pillman-jr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Lexis King<\/a> went over the TNA star for a much-needed statement win.<\/p>\n<p>While the result was good for King, it hurt TNA\u2019s credibility a little bit more. WWE fans have seen TNA stars appear to take losses without making a big impact. Except for Jordynne Grace, and Joe Hendry, no other star has managed to go big to make things more competitive.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2>#2. Cora Jade defeated Bayley to enter the NXT Women\u2019s Championship picture<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/cora-jade\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Cora Jade<\/a> and Bayley faced off just days before Vengeance Day. The Role Model was already booked for a Triple Threat match for the NXT Women\u2019s Championship against Giulia and Roxanne Perez.<\/p>\n<p>An interference from Perez helped Jade capitalize and finish off <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/bayley\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Bayley<\/a> for the win. It was noted that the win was the biggest of Cora Jade\u2019s career.<\/p>\n<p>It made no sense why Roxanne Perez helped the woman who beat her down last week to pick up the win even though he has an ongoing rivalry with The Role Model. Ava then appeared to add Cora to the women&#8217;s title match to turn a few more heads.<\/p>\n<p>The Fatal Four-Way Match is stacked, and fans will hope to see Giulia retain so Roxanne and Cora can move on to the main roster soon.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2>#1. Ridge Holland picked up another loss in WWE<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/ridge-holland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Ridge Holland<\/a> is arguably one of the toughest men in WWE. He has had some good matches and has even contested for the NXT Championship.<\/p>\n<p>He challenged Tony D\u2019Angelo for the NXT North American Championship on Tuesday. Unfortunately, he came up short once again even though he is a tough competitor who could have realistically defeated The Don in the Steel Cage.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2018babyface\u2019 Tony D used the crowbar for the win, tainting his win a little more than expected. WWE needs to rethink its strategy with Holland, who has had a few great matches on the brand. He has the potential to carry the brand and become a dominant figure in WWE like Oba Femi.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/statico.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/statico.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bottom-tagline-banner\" data-tab=\"bottom\">\n<a class=\"bottom-tagline-banner-link\" data-tab=\"bottom\" href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/posts\/wrestlevotes-ep-121122045\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"bottom-tagline-banner-container\">\n<div class=\"thumbnail\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"120\" alt=\"tagline-banner-image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/statico.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/01\/8611a-17382583869309-1920.jpg?h=240\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"tag-cloud\">\n<div class=\"tags-text\">\n<div class=\"scrollable-content-holder  article-padding\">\n<p class=\"article-p  \">Quick Links<\/p>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerLeft\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Left \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/statico.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-left.svg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button><\/p>\n<nav id=\"pnProductNav\" class=\"pn-ProductNav\">\n<\/nav>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerRight\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Right \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/statico.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-right.svg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<p>More from Sportskeeda<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<span class=\"publisher-name\">Edited by Harish Raj S<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script> \nvar fbPixelFired = false;\nvar pixelID = \"952063904834769\";\ndocument.addEventListener(\"scroll\", loadFBPixel, { once: true, passive: true });\ndocument.addEventListener(\"mousemove\", loadFBPixel, { once: true, passive: true });\nfunction loadFBPixel() {\nif(fbPixelFired) {\nreturn;\n}\nfbPixelFired = true;\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod? \nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, \ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', pixelID); \nfbq('track', \"PageView\");\nfbq('track', 'ViewContent');\ndocument.removeEventListener(\"scroll\", loadFBPixel);\ndocument.removeEventListener(\"mousemove\", loadFBPixel);\n}\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/wwe\/3-mistakes-wwe-made-nxt-vengeance-day\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] WWE NXT delivered the final episode of the show before Vengeance Day.
