Zoey Stark comes out to the ring

Zoey Stark said it’s so good to come back inside the ring. She said she wasn’t sure if she would get this moment back once again. She had an ACL tear but she didn’t stop working hard and now she is back. Stark said she recovered four months ahead of schedule.

The 28-year-old thanked her fans for the ovation she received last week. She said she was up against Toxic Attraction once again.

Cora Jade appeared and blamed Stark for stealing her moment. Stark called Jade a “piece of trash”. Toxic Attraction came out to the stage area. Mandy Rose said that come tomorrow, she will become the fourth longest reigning NXT Women’s Champion. Stark wanted a title match on the night. However, Gigi Dolin said she will face her tonight on the show.

Tony D’Angelo gave a speech to his family. He was happy with the direction of the Family. He hyped up the 8-man tag team match that was scheduled for later on in the night against Diamond Mine.

The Australian star continued calling the shots. Waller started trash talking and it pumped up Lee who delivered a bulldog. Outside the ring, Lee wiped out Waller. However, Trick Williams appeared ringside and punched Lee. Waller capitalized with a rolling Stunner to pick up the pinfall victory.
