WWE NXT Level Up results: Josh Briggs & Brooks Jensen vs. Bronco Nima & Xyon Quinn

This week’s NXT Level Up was filmed prior to Tuesday’s live NXT. I’m going to guess the action in Saturday’s Vengeance Day will be much better than this.

Sol Ruca defeated Lash Legend

Ruca had quite the week, taking to social media to explain her inclusion in a Black History Month image NXT released. The match was competitive early with both unable to get the upper hand even after Ruca outsmarted Legend on a criss-cross spot.

Ruca locked on an STP that had Legend scrambling for the ropes. The submission hold followed incredibly slow rope running by Legend. Another rope run led to a big boot to Ruca’s midsection that shifted things in her favor.

Legend continued to use her power to keep control including the dreaded rest hold standing armor. Ruca eventually rallied after landing an electric chair, countering a Legend big boot with a super kick and the incredibly impressive Sol Snatcher for the pin and her fourth straight win on TV. Legend now has 11 straight TV losses dating back to late-May 2022.

This was a struggle to get through.

– Kelly Kincaid was backstage with Josh Briggs, Brooks Jensen, Kiana James and Fallon Henley. Jensen was distracted looking at a phone with James and Briggs was concerned about his level of focus, asking the ladies to stay backstage and come up with a tag team name (“Business Casual which they seemed to like”).

Javier Bernal defeated Oba Femi

The commentary team pointed out that Femi has the true big body as opposed to “Big Body Javy.” They then talked about Christmas albums. Femi press slammed Bernal during the match to really drive home the point — about the body, not the music.

This was nothing to write home about. Bernal got the advantage, Femi regained it and then Bernal raked his eyes as the referee was blocked, getting a roll-up with a handful of trunks to get the win, snapping a streak of five losses.

Josh Briggs & Brooks Jensen defeated Bronco Nima & Xyon Quinn

The former WWE NXT UK Tag Team Champions were rolling early until Jensen got distracted by Nima and was taken out by Quinn.

The heels grew more confident as the match rolled on, using their strength to keep Jensen on the defensive. Briggs got the hot tag and ran wild, laying out Nima and Quinn. Shortly after, Jensen recovered and hit their double team version of the Hart Attack (a big boot as opposed to a clothesline) for the win to snap a two-match losing skid.
