Bengaluru, June 16: A massive return marked the highlight of this week’s NXT, promising a drastic change to the brand in the future as fallouts from the bygone NXT TakeOver: In Your House 2021 were expected to be on the show which also had a Cruiserweight Championship Open Challenge scheduled on the card.
Check out the recap, and results from the June 15 episode of NXT that took place at the Capitol Wrestling Center in Orlando, Florida.
– NXT General Manager William Regal kicked off NXT in an emotional way as he ran through the good memories he gathered here for the past 7 years. Regal indicated that he’s not capable of giving the fans what they want anymore.
WWE NXT Champion Karrion Kross and Scarlett interrupted as Kross laughed at Regal. He addressed Regal as pathetic before urging him to leave through that aisle.
At this point, Samoa Joe’s music hit the arena as the former NXT Champion returned in a huge pop from the crowd. Regal wanted Joe to be the new NXT General Manager, but Joe declined the offer as he isn’t the right person to fill in his shoes.
However, Joe will make sure that Regal gets the respect that he deserves, from now on. Regal agreed on Joe being an enforcer for him, adding that Joe can’t put his hands on anyone unless provoked. Joe then got in Kross’ face for a confrontation which forced Kross and Scarlett to leave the ring.
