NXT Level Up results: Josh Briggs vs. Quincy Elliott

Posted on by Chick Fritts

Javier Bernal defeated Bryson Montana

This was a nothing match. This was Montana’s Level Up debut. He looked clean enough in the ring.

The match opened with back and forth. Bernal used arm drags to take Montana to the mat, and Montana answered with slams. Eventually, Montana locked Bernal in a torture rack variation; once Bernal escaped, he connected with a bunch of strikes, a dropkick, and a double knee facebreaker. Bernal then pinned Montana to bring this match to a close.

Ivy Nile defeated Yulisa Leon

Was this perfect? No. Did I love every moment? Absolutely. If there is a reason to watch NXT Level Up, it is Ivy Nile.

Leon started the match with an awkward takedown into the corner. Nile stood up, scored a takedown of her own, and immediately turned her attention to the arm of Leon. Leon escaped the hold and landed some strikes, rocking Nile. Leon took Nile back to the mat and tried for multiple quick pin attempts but couldn’t close things out.

Leon tried standing Nile up, perhaps for a suplex, but Nile reversed into a neckbreaker. From the ground, the pair exchanged strikes, building to a standing position. Nile won out but couldn’t connect with anything substantial while standing. Leon capitalized, catching Nile with a scoop slam. Leon tried pinning Nile, almost in a north-south position; this was the perfect opening for Nile, who turned the pin into a dragon sleeper to close the match.

Josh Briggs defeated Quincy Elliott

This wasn’t great.

Briggs gained the advantage early, knocking Elliott to his knees. After landing a punch to a grounded Elliott, Briggs celebrated with a high-five to Brooks Jensen; Briggs hurt his hand because Jensen was wearing a cast. This opened the door for Elliott, who took advantage with some heavy strikes and slams.

After an extended period of Elliott control, Briggs dodged a banzai drop. Briggs responded with some punches and a big boot to rock Elliott. Elliott tried to fight back with a corner splash, but Briggs bounced back with a lariat to win the match. 

Quincy Elliott to debut on WWE NXT Level Up

Posted on by Joseph Currier

A new member of the NXT roster is debuting on this week’s episode of Level Up.

WWE has announced that Quincy Elliott will debut in a match against Joe Gacy on NXT Level Up this Friday night. Elliott formerly wrestled using the names MIG and Lil Atari outside of WWE.

Elliott appeared on an episode of NXT last November as part of Gacy’s “all-inclusive invitational.” WWE filed a trademark for the name “Quincy Elliott” in conjunction with that segment.

Elliott also appeared in the audience during “Lashing Out with Lash Legend” on NXT earlier this month.

In December 2021, Outsports ranked MIG/Lil Atari 182nd on their list of the top 200 LGBTQ wrestlers of the year:

If the spikes don’t get you, MIG has plenty in his arsenal to put anyone down for the count. The California independent regular displayed his power and impressive agility at Supreme Pro Wrestling and VERSUS Pro Wrestling, challenging for the LVL Up Expo title at the latter. But MIG bust onto many people’s radar at Paris Is Bumping: Solid Gold ‘21 as Haus of Atari’s Lil Atari. He closed out the year with an appearance on WWE NXT in a segment with Joe Gacy and Roderick Strong.

This will be the sixth episode of NXT Level Up since the show replaced 205 Live.

Jacket Time (Kushida & Ikemen Jiro) vs. Malik Blade & Edris Enofe will headline this Friday’s Level Up. Ivy Nile vs. Kiana James rounds out the three-match lineup for the show.

Kiana James is Kayla Inlay’s new WWE in-ring name. It was confirmed last week that she’s officially signed with WWE. Inlay debuted on NXT in a loss to Sarray this February.
