On September 17th, 2024 WWE aired the 751st episode of NXT live in Orlando Florida inside WWE Performance Center.
Note: This review will be shorter then normal as it be the last few mins of the match.
-Kicking off this week’s NXT with a video recapping the events of last week’s edition of NXT.
-After announcing that Sexxy Red will be making her return to NXT on October 8th, Randy Orton will be competing on NXT on that same show and The Miz will be hosting a special edition of Miz TV on October 1st, Ava introduces Trick Williams.
-Williams makes his way out and says he’s the Last Man Standing after defeating Pete Dunne last week. He says 2 weeks from now, more history will be made when he wins back the NXT Title from Ethan Page.
-NXT Champion Ethan Page’s music hits and he makes his way out. He mocks Williams’ fans for cheering for him & Williams tells Page that he and the fans don’t like it. Page says while Williams has every right to be confident, he’s not Pete Dunne. He says he happens to be Williams’ kryptonite as is evident with the NXT Title. Williams says since Page stole the NXT Title from him, he’s been running from him but that stops on October 1.
-Page disputes Williams’ statement that he stole the NXT Title from him and says he both earned it and won it. He says he remembers the shocked and surprised looks on everyone’s faces when he won the NXT Title including Williams then says on October 1, Williams will have a different look on his face when he retains his title to continue the Era of Ego.
-Williams says Page is crazy and tells him that when they meet for the NXT Title , people won’t be cheering him on. Page responds by hitting Ego’s Edge to Williams though the table set up in the ring, then leaves the ring without signing the contract (Williams not having done so himself either).
-We then head over to a video from last week of a frustrated Tony D’Angelo confronting Hammerstone after he paid him to dethrone Oba Femi as North American Champion but being unable to do so. D’Angelo demands that Hammerstone get himself a rematch for the title but Hammerstone declines to do so.
-Ava spoke with Robert Stone & Stevie Turner before Je Von Evans & Cedric Alexander met Ava for a chance to get booked on the card for the 10/8 edition of NXT in Saint Louis. Ava told Evans she would think about it.

She tells Punk that she always preferred AJ Lee to him then says she was excited to see him return to WWE at Survivor Series last year. She says now that she’s standing face 2 face in the ring with Punk, she realizes she should’ve been a Drew McIntyre fan in the first place. She says Chicago will no longer be Punk’s town when she retains the Women’s Title against Giulia on October 1st.
-Perez says she doesn’t care how big Giulia is in Japan because she’s big around the globe and is untouchable. Punk then tells Perez that while she might think he’s upset she interrupted him, he actually appreciates it. He says he used to have a chip on his shoulder like Perez does, then says the Women’s Title makes her the best in possibly all of WWE.

-Giulia’ music hits and she makes her way out. She stares down Perez and tells her that the countdown is on until she dethrones her as Women’s Champion. She tells her that she has 2 weeks left and looks to leave the ring. Perez then looks to clock Giulia with the Women’s Title but Punk stops her.
