We are back with an NXT Origins package for Rhea Ripley.
She says she was very shy. A year in the US, she felt she needed to change things up. What works for others don't work for you. She was going nowhere with a fake version of herself. Becoming the first NXT UK champion was insane. That led to being the NXT Women's Champion and it meant the world for her. The most important lesson is to live through the person she is meant to be and let it come out on the screen. She learned about the business and who she is.
Zaria makes her way to the ring.
Zaria says NXT feels different. There is a change in the air and now it can be anyone's game. For the first time, she is standing in the middle of the women's division with no one holding her back. No dead weight. No fake friends. She is starting to realize this is how it always needed to be. Her . . . Zaria . . . Alone.
Now she has a clear path to what started it all. What came between her and Sol. The Women's North American Championship. Some think that title destroyed everything, but that title is what finally woke her up. When you spend so much time around it, holding it and defending it. It makes it feel like it should be yours.
Tatum Paxley interrupts.
She says she understands this title didn't fracture your relationship with Sol, it shattered it. It had nothing to do with her. Now, you are trying to figure out who you are by yourself. If you were to come after her for the title, it does not matter if you scorch the Earth. She has ruined friendships.
Lizzy Rain comes out and she tells Zaria and Tatum they are right. NXT feels different and it is anyone's game. She says she is the new blood in the locker room and that is why she wouldn't mind joining in. She was the talk of the town last week. The lineage of the title is iconic. How fitting would it be if there was some heavy metal added to the title.
Nikkita Lyons makes her way to the ring.
She says Lizzy was the talk of the town. That is the Nikkita Lyons Rub. All she hears is the new flavor of the month shooting way over her head. You set social media on fire but she has seen them come and go.
Tatum says if anyone wants a title match.
Nikkita says she is not done. She does not know why Lizzy has eyes on the title because she is not done with Lizzy.
Nikkia misses a kick and Zaria takes care of Nikkita. Zaria with an F5 to Tatum.
