The June 9th edition of WWE NXT was a showcase of the upcoming Great American Bash, with several high-stakes matches. The night's action began with a surprise tag team contest between Fraxiom and Noam Dar, featuring Romeo Moreno, which may have stolen the show. Fraxiom and Axiom's performance was impressive, but it was Romeo's energy and speed that truly stood out, reminiscent of Je'Von Evans. This match highlighted the potential of new tag teams, with Romeo looking like a breakout star. The main event saw NARAKU defeat Mason Rook to earn an NXT Championship opportunity, but the distraction of Kam Hendrix took away from the contest. The crowd's investment in this match was notable, and the potential for a deeper story between NARAKU and Tony D'Angelo is intriguing. The women's division was also on full display, with Kelani Jordan and Kendal Grey delivering an excellent match, solidifying Grey as a standout in NXT. The night's surprises included the Mr. NXT Pageant, won by Shiloh Hill, and the main event, where Zaria dethroned Tatum Paxley for the Women's North American Championship. Overall, the show was a step in the right direction for NXT, with key stars shining and building momentum for the future.
