WWE NXT video highlights: Natalya appears, new tag champs crowned

A member of the main roster women’s division stopped by NXT last night for a surprise appearance.

Natalya appeared on last night’s NXT as part of a segment with Cora Jade. But what Jade thought was going to be a friendly interaction with her idol ended up taking a turn.

Jade mentioned Natalya when listing the women who she idolized growing up. Natalya’s music then hit and she made her way down to the ring to meet Jade.

Jade said Natalya was her first favorite women’s wrestler and the first action figure she ever bought. She recounted messaging Natalya after a SmackDown house show when she was 10 years old. Natalya told Jade that she remembered that night. And when she went to message Jade after Jade made her NXT debut, she saw Jade’s message from 2011. Natalya said it blows her away to know that she inspired Jade in that way.

Natalya called Jade the future of the NXT women’s division — but Natalya said the future is bleak. Natalya then slapped Jade and put her in the Sharpshooter.

A backstage segment later in the show set up Natalya vs. Tatum Paxley for next week’s NXT.

New NXT Tag Team Champions were also crowned last night. After the titles were declared vacant following the release of MSK’s Nash Carter, Pretty Deadly became NXT Tag Team Champions by winning a five-team gauntlet match.

Pretty Deadly were the last team to enter the gauntlet match. The Creed Brothers had defeated all three other teams to make it to the finals with Pretty Deadly.
