NXT results and highlights: Johnny Gargano was instrumental in Pete Dunne’s pinfall victory over North American Champion Carmelo Hayes in the main event of Tuesday night’s WWE NXT.

WWE NXT results and highlights: 9 November 2021

Toxic Attraction def. Io Shirai, Kacy Catanzaro & Kayden Carter

With Io Shirai’s tag team partner injured due to Toxic Attraction’s assault, the former NXT Women’s Champion reluctantly joined forces with Kacy Catanzaro and Kayden Carter for a Six-Woman Tag Team Match.

Shirai may have a serious chip on her shoulder, but she would combine well with her makeshift team to deliver some punishment to Mandy Rose, Gigi Dolin & Jacy Jayne with high-flying offence.

However, when Carter went to the top rope for another splash, Toxic Attraction used its numbers to distract her before she could take flight. 

Dolin bundled into Carter, knocking her off the turnbuckle before finishing her off with a side slam and picking up the 1-2-3.

Kay Lee Ray def. Sarray

Kay Lee Ray returned to NXT 2.0 and absorbed some damage before unleashing a new level of rage on Sarray.

The Warrior of the Sun gave The Forever Champion all she could handle in the early going. As Sarray went for her Sun Ray Dropkick, Ray rolled out of the way and delivered a knee to the jaw to send Sarray crashing to the floor outside the ring. Ray seized on the chance and decimated Sarray with a KLR Bomb on the announcer’s table.

Ray rolled her back into the ring and added one more KLR Bomb before covering Sarray for the victory.

Joe Gacy def. Boa via disqualification

Boa’s sudden change in demeanour has brought with it a vicious killer instinct.

After being whipped into the turnbuckle, Boa rocked Gacy with a kick and seemed to flip a switch, grabbing Gacy and trapping him between the ropes. 

Boa was relentless and ignored the referee’s five-count to break the hold. 

It wasn’t until after Gacy was declared the winner by DQ that Boa snapped out of it and retreated back up the ramp in a daze.

The Creed Brothers def. Jacket Time

Jacket Time ran into a brick wall in the form of The Creed Brothers in tag team action.

The power of The Creed Brothers appeared overwhelming as they tossed Kushida and Ikemen Jiro around the ring, but the resilient duo found a way to mount some dynamic offence of their own.

Just when Jiro was starting to pick up steam, Roderick Strong snuck in to pull the ropes apart, sending Jiro crashing to the floor as he looked to rebound off the ropes. Jiro stumbled back into the ring and walked right into a vicious powerbomb from Julius Creed for the pin.

Diamond Mine didn’t have long to celebrate their win, as Odyssey Jones charged the ring and laid waste to Strong to help turn the tides.

Cameron Grimes def. Ru Feng

Cameron Grimes’ luck was in once again on Tuesday night as he got one over on Ru Feng.

With Duke Hudson watching on, Grimes took Feng to the moon with a pair of huge forearms and a splash followed by a massive stomp off the top rope for the win.

Solo Sikoa def. Grayson Waller & LA Knight

Solo Sikoa took advantage of the animosity between Grayson Waller and LA Knight to add another win to his growing resume in a triple threat match. 

Looking to settle their dispute in the ring, the three NXT Superstars battled back-and-forth, with Waller and Knight joining forces to put down the powerful Sikoa.

The bitter feud between Waller and Knight boiled over with Waller delivering a stunner to Knight.

Waller went for the pin, but Sikoa grabbed him and belly-to-belly suplexed him out of the ring before dispatching Knight with a thunderous splash off the top rope.

Elektra Lopez def. Erica Yan

Elektra Lopez squashed Erica Yan, decimating the newcomer with thunderous clotheslines and stomps before ending the match with sit-out powerslam.

Pete Dunne def. Carmelo Hayes

After Carmelo Hayes got in Pete Dunne’s face earlier in the night, The BruiserWeight showed the NXT North American Champion he’s worthy of the “A Championship.”

Dunne picked apart Hayes’ joints and fingers, but the champion was up to the challenge, delivering shots of his own to the former NXT UK Champion.

As Dunne went for the Bitter End, Hayes launched him throat-first into the ropes. With Dunne disoriented, Trick Williams attempted to use his shoe to knock out The BruiserWeight, but Dexter Lumis made the save, after leaving his spot at the commentary table. Lumis then laid out Williams when a gloved hand appeared from underneath the ring to grab a distracted Hayes’ foot.

When Hayes turned around to see who was grabbing him he was left exposed to a Bitter End and a pinfall at the hands of Dunne.
