WWE NXT 14th of May 2024

This week’s episode of WWE NXT kicks off with Noam Dar supposedly being attacked backstage. Meta-Four played it over the top so it’s likely he’s just trying to get out of his scheduled match tonight with Je’Von Evans.

RAW Superstar Kiana James is backstage with Izzi Dame. James says there’s a reason she befriended her and no one else. James says she is going to run RAW while Dame runs NXT.

D’Angelo was somehow more than prepared and gave her an envelope that had all the fine money and more in it to spruce up Ava’s office. D’Angelo called Ava tough but fair.

Lola Vice and Shayna Baszler are backstage. Shayna Baszler says all she knows is dominance by running down her accomplishments in NXT. She has decided to stick around to see who Lola Vice’s opponent is at Battleground. Karmen Petrovic and Natalya run in and attack Vice as referees and security try to separate the two women.

Wes Lee comes to the ring and says the last time he was in the ring with a microphone was one of the darkest times in his life because he didn’t know if he’d ever be back. Lee says he loves the North American Championship, and he missed the NXT Universe.
Lee says two days after his surgery, he was up and walking again, and his ultimate goal was to get back to NXT. Wes says he was supposed to miss a year, but he’s back in six months feeling tremendous energy. Lee is interrupted by NXT North American Champion Oba Femi.
Oba Femi says he isn’t there to cut him down, and he respects everything he did for the North American Championship. Femi says he took the title as high as he could, and he will now take it to new heights that Lee could only dream of.
Femi says Lee has the heart of a warrior, but he is a true warrior, and he is someone Lee can’t conquer. Oba asks if Lee wants a title shot, and Lee says yes. Femi says Lee needs to prove himself to earn the shot.
Lee tries to respond but they are both interrupted by Ivar. Ivar says he wants a shot at Oba Femi as well. Josh Briggs interrupts all of them and says everyone is so emotional. The crowd boos Briggs out of the building.
Briggs says he and Oba Femi need to run their match back because his ribs are healed. Femi says they all have compelling arguments. Lee suggests they should do a fatal four-way for the title. Femi says the three of them can fight, and the winner will face him.

Ridge Holland is backstage and is asked if he’s going to face The Good Brothers alone tonight. Chase U shows up and offers their help. Holland accepts, thinking he’ll be teaming up with Andre Chase, but Chase suggests Riley Osborne, and Holland is all for it, wanting to prove himself to him. That match is next.

Lexis King is backstage with other talents, bragging that he’s been on fire lately and talking about his recent win over Baron Corbin. Jazmyn Nyx shows up and asks everyone to sign her get-well-soon card for Jacy Jayne.
