WWE NXT 2.0 results, recap and highlights: July 19, 2022

Bengaluru, July 20: This week’s WWE NXT had a massive 20-woman battle royal in the main event to determine the new challenger for the NXT Women’s Championship.

On the July 19th edition, WWE NXT UK Tag Team Championships were on the line, while NXT Champion was in attendance in search of his current rival. Also, two Diamond Mine members competed in a singles contest.

Check out the recap and results from the July 19 episode of WWE NXT 2.0 that took place at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida:

– A vignette from last week’s heel-turn by Cora Jade against Roxanne Perez was shown after which JD McDonagh defeated Cameron Grimes in the opening contest.

McDonagh trapped Grimes’ left knee in the ropes and attacked it, continuously before connecting with his innovative finisher for the pin to win.

– One half of WWE NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions, Cora jade explained her turn-on against Perez by calling her a “selfish b**ch.”

She apparently attacked Perez last week to steal Perez’s spot in the NXT Women’s Title Match. Cora also threw the women’s tag team title into a trash can before she left to suggest that she would no longer be a tag team champ.

– Roderick Strong defeated Damon Kemp in a singles contest via a distraction. Tony D’Angelo appeared on the titantron and showed that he took out the Creed Brothers.

Kemp wanted to go and help them but Strong hit a knee from behind to get the win. Both Strong and Kemp ran to the backstage area to check on the Creed Brothers, after the match.

– Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen (c) (with Fallon Henley) defeated Pretty Deadly (Elton Prince and Kit Wilson) to retain the WWE NXT UK Tag Team Championships.

In the finishing sequence, Prince gave Wilson one of the NXT UK Tag Team title belts and the other to Briggs to make it look like that they were trying to cheat.

Henley stole the titles away from Wilson to cause the distraction, allowing Briggs and Jensen to hit their finisher on Wilson for the pin to win.
