Posted on by Bryan Rose

Indi Hartwell is the NXT Women’s Champion.

Hartwell won the ladder match at Saturday’s NXT Stand & Deliver to win the championship for the first time. The finish saw Hartwell unsure of herself as she stared at the ladder. Suddenly, Dexter Lumis showed up and helped Hartwell climb up the ladder. Hartwell grabbed the title, becoming champion for the first time.

During the match, we also saw the return of Jacy Jayne. At one point, she pushed former tag team partner Gigi Dolin off the ladder, sending her out of the ring for the remainder of the match.

Roxanne Perez’s run with the NXT Women’s Championship ended after over 100 days, defeating Mandy Rose on the December 13, 2022 edition of NXT. In the weeks leading to Stand & Deliver, her status for the match had been in question after collapsing following retaining her title against Meiko Satomura at NXT Roadblock. Perez told Shawn Michaels in his office on Tuesday’s NXT that she was cleared. Michaels was hesitant on letting her compete, but eventually relented.

Raquel Gonzalez defeated Io Shirai to win the NXT Women’s Championship in the main event of night one of NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver. 

Highlights from the match included Shirai connecting with a moonsault off the post to the ramp and a crossbody off the skull stage set piece. 

The closing sequence saw Shirai hit a moonsault in the ring, but Gonzalez kicked out. Gonzalez followed up with a lariat and a one-armed powerbomb to secure the victory. 

Gonzalez, 30, signed with WWE in 2016. She appeared as enhancement talent on NXT television in early 2017, then participated in the Mae Young Classic in the summer of that year as Reina Gonzalez. Her NXT ascent began when she became associated with Dakota Kai at NXT TakeOver: Portland in February 2020. 

Shirai’s NXT Women’s title reign ended after 10 months as champ. She claimed the Championship at NXT TakeOver: In Your House on June 7, 2020, dethroning Charlotte Flair by pinning Rhea Ripley in a triple threat match. 

WWE Evolution notes: Title change, battle royal, Mae Young Classic

Posted on by Bryan Rose

A new NXT women’s champion was crowned, a new contender for the Raw women’s championship was established and this year’s Mae Young Classic winner was crowned tonight at WWE Evolution.

In the battle royal, Nia Jax last eliminated Ember Moon to win a future title match. After throwing Zelina Vega to the outside on Tamina, Moon tried to eliminate Jax but to no avail, as Jax tree slammed her then eliminated Moon to win the match. After Ronda Rousey successfully defended the Raw women’s title at the end of the night, Jax was seen backstage watching Rousey celebrate on a nearby monitor.

The NXT women’s championship was the sole title to change hands tonight. The finish had Sane back body drop Baszler into a crowd of NXT women wrestlers, including Shayna Baszler’s friends Marina Shafir and Jessamyn Duke. Both got involved, with a second cheap shot by Duke allowing Baszler to get the submission win with the kirifuda clutch. With the win, Baszler becomes the first ever two time NXT women’s champion.

In the Mae Young Classic finals, Toni Storm defeated Io Shirai to win this year’s tournament. Shirai kicked out of the Storm zero (tiger bomb). Shirai went for a moonsault, but Storm got the knees up and hit a second Storm zero for the win.
