NXT travels to Bakersfield, California to host the No Mercy Premium Live Event. This will be the first WWE PLE following the creation of parent group TKO Holdings.
Six matches have been made official for the event on Saturday, September 30th.
Noam Dar (c) vs. Butch – British Rules match for the NXT Heritage Cup
Butch feel revitalised following a return to NXT. With the increased integration of the main roster with the 3rd brand, Butch could bring the title to Friday nights and put even more of a spotlight on NXT to make the cup more significant.
Winner – Butch
Baron Corbin vs. Bron Breakker
Breakker feels destined for a big 2024 and the victory here will continue that journey. Corbin will do what he does best and make the rising star look amazing, giving the victory to Breakker who is inevitably going to either get another opportunity at the NXT Championship or move up to the main roster very soon.
Winner – Bron Breakker
The Family (c) vs. OTM vs. Los Lotharios vs. The Creed Brothers – 4-Way match for the NXT Tag Team Championships
Despite winning the title back in July this is only The Family’s this defence of the Tag Team Championships. This match is designed to remind the NXT Universe about the tag team division following the spotlight being shined brighter on the other 3 titles. Los Lotharios feel like champions in the future, but that will be in a two on two match. For now, The Family will win this one.
Winners – The Family
Dominik Mysterio (c) vs. Trick Williams – Singles match for the NXT North American Championship with Dragon Lee as the special referee
This match was thrown together at the last minute following sudden changes to the NXT roster. While Williams is on a journey to prove himself and win a championship, it isn’t time yet. Dragon Lee wants to be the one to dethrone Mysterio and will not play favourites, reluctantly counting the pin so “Dirty” Don’s reign continues.
Winner – Dominik Mysterio
Becky Lynch (c) vs. Tiffany Stratton – Extreme Rules match for the NXT Women’s Championship
Right now Becky Lynch is big business for NXT. The Man has proved to be a ratings hit on Tuesday night and feels refreshed following an extended feud with Trish Stratus. With future opponent Tegan Nox already lined up for the winner on the following episode of Raw, it doesn’t feel like Lynch will be dropping the title right now. It will also be interesting to see if new signee Jade Cargill is seen at ringside for this one.
Winner – Becky Lynch
Carmelo Hayes (c) vs. Ilja Dragunov – Singles match for the NXT Championship
Hayes looks to prove that his victory was not a fluke over Dragunov the first time. While the finish will be decisive, the result will still be the same with Hayes walking out still the champion. With the way the storyline is going, the wrestler who will eventually dethrone the NXT Champion will be the man who knows him best, Trick Williams.
Winner – Carmelo Hayes
