Alba Fyre Promo
“Last week when we locked eyes, I smell your soul. I’ve seen the fear building up inside you. And in your heart, you know that i am gonna be the one to take that women’s title away from you and burn your empire to the ground.”
Astrid’s Point
Pretty strong words from Alba to Mandy, it keeps getting interesting between them and it would be interesting to see Mandy lose the championship on Halloween Havok, the event that started Toxic Attraction.

Gigi Dolin & Jacy Jayne vs. Tatum Paxley & Ivy Nile
Mandy accompanies the ladies to the ring for their match, we also see a recap of Damon Kemp explaining his plans the past few weeks against Diamond Mine. Ivy is backstage with Tatum, she slams her hand on the lockers as she finds out about Damon’s plan. Tatum tells her that Julius and Brutus will handle Damon, it’s out of her hands for the moment while they need to focus on the tag team match that’s about to happen.

Astrid’s Point
I didn’t enjoy this match like I thought I would since I love both teams as it had a slower pace when Gigi and Tatum were involved and the match was short too. I enjoy seeing Toxic Attraction with a victory but what’s left for them in NXT? It feels like they’re gettin filler matches until Mandy loses the championship and they’re all called up.
Roxanne Perez Promo
Before Wendy vs. Cora, we get a promo from Roxanne, recapping her experience against Meiko Satomura recently, calling Meiko “the true measuring stick of women in this business.” Roxanne says she wanted to see where she stood, she was nervous as she even slipped during her entrance. “I may have lost the match but I gained Meiko’s respect.” Meiko says, “I was hard on her but she still stood up to me. Roxanne has a tough spirit. I think the day is near when she will be champion and I am looking forward to that day.” During the recap, we see when Cora attacked Roxanne from behind and Meiko came in for the save. “I found a toughness, a grit I didn’t know I had, that’s something that I can never repay Meiko for but that’s something I’m gonna use against Cora Jade. The next time Cora and I meet, Cora Jade is going to face a tougher, rougher and more determined Roxanne Perez.
Astrid’s Point
This promo by Roxanne gives me hope that next time Cora and Roxanne face, their match will have a stipulation and they’re both able to bring that aggressiveness they were both missing from their match. I am looking forward to a Roxanne is more focused and fired up than she was before.
Wendy Choo vs. Cora Jade
Cora and Wendy begin with a lock up until Cora drives Choo to the corner, the referee asking them to separate, Cora tapped on Wendy’s head until Wendy showed her away. Cora runs to Wendy, she ducked to avoid her, keeping Cora in place with a lock up. Jade reverses it when she wraps her legs around Wendy’s neck to break the submission, Wendy is able to do a hand stand to break off from it and then mocking Cora when she does the horns like Cora usually does.
Choo returns to focusing on the lock up submission, Cora breaks it, Wendy bounces off the ropes, Cora is getting ready with some offense but Wendy is able to tackle her instead. Choo goes to bounce off the ropes, Jade getting ready to leap frog but Wendy wraps her legs around Cora’s arms and reverses the positioning for a pin attempt. Jade stands up, Wendy drop kicks her, Jade rests on a corner while Wendy runs from one side to Cora, kicking her in the face.
Cora is outside, Wendy bounces off the ropes to slide outside but is caught by Jade. Cora enters the ring, kicks Wendy who then crawls to the ropes and Cora knees Wendy’s neck while holding on to the ropes. Jade hits Wendy with a few forearms then bounces her off the ropes, throws her towards the middle rope, Wendy hanging from it. Jade runs, hits Wendy’s neck with an elbow and a pin attempt. Jade stomps on Wendy a few times then uses the ropes to bounce on Wendy’s back with a double stomp and another pin attempt.

Astrid’s Point
I didn’t realize until the time came to review this match, that the match only lasted about 6 mins including entrances and Lash’s big boot at the end. The pacing of the match was so well done that I thought the match lasted longer also this definitely helped push Cora up the ranks in the division and it’ll be interesting to see what is next between Wendy and Lash.
