Adriana Rizzo def. Lainey Reid
As was her mission statement, Adriana Rizzo handled family business against the hard-hitting Lainey Reid.
Rizzo overwhelmed her slightly less-experienced opponent by throwing her to the mat, landing a picture-perfect dropkick and raining down right hands in the corner.
Reid eventually got back on track with a vicious knee strike to the face and a twisting suplex, but “The Rizz” earned the three-count following a split-legged somersault attack into a pinning combination.
Dante Chen def. Harlem Lewis
A former superstar college football linebacker who broke the record for career tackles at Morehead State University, the powerful Harlem Lewis jumped straight into the fire by combatting “The Gatekeeper of NXT” Dante Chen.
Sporting a durag and a menacing scowl, Lewis put his gridiron skills to good use, blitzing his veteran foe with a ring-shaking scoop slam while mocking the NXT Arena with a sarcastic “Let’s go Dante” chant.
For all his intensity and bluster, however, Lewis still came up short in his debut bout after Chen landed a wicked pump kick and the Chentle Touch for the hard-earned win.
