WWE NXT Level Up results: Edris Enofe & Malik Blade vs. Ikemen Jiro & Quincy Elliot

This week’s WWE NXT Level Up featured three matches.

Javier Bernal defeated Myles Borne

The last time we saw these two in action on NXT TV was two weeks ago when they were teaming together and it did not go very well. There were no hard feelings though as they started with a handshake.

Borne was throwing around Bernal to start the match, using his amateur wrestling background. Bernal used dirty tactics to take advantage of Borne and get the upper hand. Borne had a brief opening for some offense, but Bernal rolled him up and used the ropes for some leverage and the win.

This felt like a heel turn for Bernal in his first win since May while Borne is still winless.

– Backstage, Kelly Kincaid was with Quincy Elliot, one-quarter of tonight’s main event. His teammate Ikemen Jiro was not with them. Elliot told Kincaid about how similar they are and how they can both “walk off the set straight onto the page of a glossy magazine.” Jiro then ran in, told Elliot he looked great, and they ran away.

Fallon Henley (w/ Josh Briggs & Brooks Jensen) defeated Sol Ruca

Henley made her way to the ring with her “two best friends” aka NXT UK Tag Team Champions Briggs & Jensen. This was Ruca’s second match on NXT television.

They had some great back and forth to start with some tie-ups and headlock takeovers. Ruca showed off some great athleticism with a sunset flip off the middle rope for a two-count. It’s very early in her career, but she really seems like a natural. After Henley escaped from an armbar, she hit a shining wizard for the win. 

Edris Enofe & Malik Blade defeated Ikemen Jiro & Quincy Elliot

Okay, I know Enofe and Blade are the established tag team in this match, but the team of Jiro and Elliot makes too much sense.

Enofe and Elliot began with Elliot using his gyrating hips in more ways than one to start off. They double-teamed Enofe and started dancing with each other in the middle of the ring. It doesn’t get more pro wrestling than this. They each took turns hitting their respective double-team maneuvers. Blade and Enofe dominated Jiro for a good chunk of the match, leading to the crowd starting a “We Want Quincy” chant that I almost joined in with. 

Jiro finally got the hot tag after a quick counter in the corner. Elliot used his size with some shoulder tackles and a running splash onto Blade for a two count. He followed this with a double clothesline. 

Enofe got back into the match by countering a bodyslam and hitting a nasty chop block onto Elliot and knocking Jiro off the ring apron. Enofe followed that with a running knee onto Elliot, setting up Enofe and Blade’s samoan drop/blockbuster combo for the win.
