Bengaluru, February 8: This week's NXT marked the end of the strongest faction of the NXT 2.0 era as a Toxic Attraction member turned on the other to end the long-term alliance.

A former NXT UK Superstar made his return to the show alongside a main roster superstar who hosted a talk-show segment. Besides, there were fallouts from the latest bygone Vengeance Day 2023 premium live event.

Check out the recap and results from the February 7 episode of WWE NXT that took place at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida:

- Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams kicked things off on NXT with a promo where Carmelo pointed out that he defeated everyone on NXT except for the NXT Champion Bron Breakker.

JD McDonagh interrupted to opine that Carmelo doesn't have the ability to beat Bron and become the new face of NXT. The confrontation eventually set up a match for later the night.

- Zoey Stark defeated Sol Ruca in the opening contest of NXT. In a short match, Stark countered a top-rope splash by keeping her knees up.

Stark delivered the Belly-to-Back GTS move for the pin to win. After the match, Zoey tried to attack Ruca, again but the latter managed to fight her off.

- Dabba Kato defeated Dante Chen in his in-ring return by planting the latter with a sit-out chokeslam. After the match, Dabba Kato indicated that Apollo Crews apparently did something bad to him in the past.

- Isla Dawn (with Alba Fyre) defeated Tatum Paxley with ease. After coming out of a crossbody move, Fyre caught Paxley with an elbow drop for the pin to win. Fyre and Dawn again attacked Paxley but Ivy Nile made the save.

- Carmelo Hayes (with Trick Williams) defeated JD McDonagh using utter chaos that ensued during this match. To stop interference from Trick, llja Dragunov made his return and attacked him.

However, Melo took advantage of the distraction as he rolled up McDonagh for the pin to win. After the match, Ilja attacked JD and chased him to the backstage area.

- Lyra Valkyria defeated Valentina Feroz (with Wendy Choo) despite the numbers' game not being in her favor. Elektra Lopez came out in between the match and handed a pair of brass knuckles to Feroz. Before Feroz could use it, Lyra pinned her by connecting with a spinning heel kick.

- Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo defeated Odyssey Jones in another short match. After a DDT, Stacks delivered a knee to the back of Jones for the pin to win.

- Pretty Deadly (Kit Wilson and Elton Prince) defeated Chase University (Andre Chase and Duke Hudson) in a match that was set up after the tag teams confronted each other in a backstage party thrown by new NXT women's tag champs, Kiana James and Fallon Henley.

Thea Hail came out in between the match and Hudson was busy with her which allowed Pretty Deadly to double-team on Chase before pinning him with the Spilled Milk finisher.

After the match, NXT Tag Team Champions Gallus came out on the ramp and shared a stare-down with Pretty Deadly to end the segment.

- WWE Raw roster member Bayley returned to WWE NXT after almost three years to host a "Ding Dong, Hello!" segment with Toxic Attraction members - Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne.

Gigi and Jacy blamed each other for not winning the NXT Women's Title at Vengeance Day. Bayley wanted them to stay together and hugged it out, only to witness a shocking turn-on.

Jacy superkick-ed Dolin out of nowhere and sent her head into the "Ding Dong, Hello" prop door. Dolin was seen crying while lying on the mat as NXT quickly went off the air.
