NXT 2.0 – May 17
Lash Legend vs. Tatum Paxley – NXT Women’s Breakout Tournament
The first women’s match of the night is Lash vs. Tatum as part of the next round in the Women’s Breakout Tournament. Paxley was showing that Lash wasn’t intimidating her. Tatum attempted to raise Lash on her shoulders at least three times during the match, it didn’t work especially towards the end since Lash was targeting Tatum’s leg throughout the match. Lash showed her athleticism with a flip and a few kicks, she attempted a submission on Tatum, focusing on her leg but it wasn’t locked in all the way.
During her last attempt to hoist Lash on her shoulders, her knee buckled, Lash caught her with a big boot to get the victory. Lash advances in the tournament, it was a good showing for Tatum, we haven’t seen her wrestle in a while, but I felt that the opponents lacked chemistry, we will see how Lash does against her next opponent in the tournament.

Toxic Attraction in the Toxic Lounge
Toxic Attraction more specifically Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne are watching Katana Chance and Kayden Carter’s interview from last week as they say they want those titles because they mean something, not because they’ll post about it on social media. Mandy comes by to the ladies to ask what’s going on with them being targeted by Katana and Kayden while she’s being targeted by Indi, Jacy responds that they’re obsessed with them and why wouldn’t they be?
Roxanne Perez vs. Kiana James – NXT Women’s Breakout Tournament
Kiana had a strategy going in the match, Kiana bounced off the ropes to do a flip, Roxanne does the same but stops Kiana to do her signature bow. Roxanne does a few arms drags to Kiana, bounces off the ropes for a drop kick and a pin attempt. Kiana does a submission attempt; Roxanne reverses it to attempt a roll up pin. Roxanne does a Leg Sweep then a pin attempt, Kiana shows her power by picking up Roxanne and doing a Side slam onto the mat then a pin attempt. Kiana runs to the corner to attack Roxanne; she sets up for her finisher and a roll up pin for the victory. She advances in the tournament and will face Lash Legend in the next round.
Roxanne Interview
Roxanne is interviewed backstage; Cora comes to hug her. She tells McKenzie that Cora is the one that convinced her to come to NXT, that they have been friends for a while now. Cora says she’s proud of her, McKenzie goes to ask Cora a question and she tells her, this is Roxanne’s time instead. Elektra Lopez interrupts it, she says she’s facing Alba Fyre next week, Roxanne is an overachiever that will lose to Lash in the next round, Cora is an underachiever for being happy even if she loses the match. I enjoyed how the match was flowing, it showed off both competitors and gave us more to their characters, it was no surprise that Roxanne won, it’ll be interesting to see how it goes now as she will face Lash either next week or the week after.
