NXT Jacksonville, FL, live results: Ricochet vs. Johnny Gargano

Friday night’s estimated attendance: 300 people.

– The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins & Montez Ford) defeated Humberto Carrillo & Raul Mendoza

This was one of the best matchups possible for each team. The luchadores ran wild but got put away by Ford’s frog splash.

– Rowe defeated Brennan Williams

A big-man battle. Rowe put Williams down and then showed his respect by offering a handshake.

– Heavy Machinery (Otis Dozovic & Tucker Knight) defeated Rinku Singh & Mansoor Al-Shehail

The crowd was all the way behind Heavy Machinery. They hit the Trash Compactor to win.

– Deonna Purrazzo defeated Chelsea Green

Purrazzo did a pre-match interview where she spoke about her technical expertise. She caught Green off the ropes in the Fujiwara armbar for the submission.

– Marcel Barthel defeated Fabian Aichner in a lumberjack match

This had one of the best atmospheres for a match on the Florida loop. The roster was at ringside and Dozovic was calling the action — and the action was great.

Barthel and Aichner have a long-standing rivalry in Jacksonville. Barthel survived with the victory here after Punishment Martinez hit his chokeslam on Aichner during a major brawl. This one was special.

– Velveteen Dream defeated Punishment Martinez

Coming back from intermission and the lumberjack match, the crowd was extra loud for Dream and just as angry at Martinez. The match had hard-hitting action, with Dream scoring the win with a rolling Death Valley Driver.

Dream played to the fans after the match by putting his hand behind his ear and doing a posedown.

– NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler & Jessamyn Duke defeated Kacy Catanzaro & Candice LeRae

Duke hit a big kick on Catanzaro for the win.

– NXT North American Champion Ricochet defeated Johnny Gargano to retain his title

They had one of the best matches of the year on the Florida loop. Gargano was playing up being a good guy and missing high fives, doing a little slow run, and playing to the crowd as they were split. Ricochet survived everything Gargano had and put him away with the Cradle Shock.

Following the match, Ricochet thanked the crowd for supporting him and mentioned coming up on his one-year anniversary with the company.
