TNA star Zachary Wentz comes face to face with NXT star Wes Lee ahead of their match at NXT No Mercy.
There was a promo with Wes Lee and Zachary Wentz with some referees and security in the ring to talk about their upcoming match at No Mercy. Wes repeatedly told Wentz that Wentz isnβt on his level. Wentz said he messed up MSK when he was there but he can own up to that.
Wentz reminded Wes of when Wes nearly quit NXT three times when Wentz and Miguel came out on the last one. He also mentioned being there for Wes following Wesβs back injury. He was happy for Wesβs singles success. The promo got more heated with Wentz mentioning how he and Trey won the TNA tag titles together, something that Wes and Zach never did. Zach cut a firery promo about how he intends to now make sure that Wes doesnβt have more success in WWE while Wes intends to send him back to TNA. No pull apart and they were kept separated.
–TNA Knockout Star Rosemary aligns with Wendy Choo, takes on NXT Womens North American Champion, Kelani Jordan
Kelani Jordan came to the ring addressing Wendy Choo with Kelani not wanting to wait until Sunday. Wendy came on the screen and sent a hooded figure to the ring to fight Kelani. It was revealed to be TNAβs Rosemary. Rosemary didnβt have her traditional βLeft Behindβ TNA theme.
In a non-title match, Kelani Jordan beat Rosemary via the split legged moonsault. After the match, Wendy Choo came back on the screen again with the lights going out. It showed blackness taking over Kelaniβs video screen while Wendyβs face was on some of the other video screens. Wendy got in the ring when the lights came back on locking Kelani in a sleeper hold. Rosemary pushed the NXT North American Womenβs title toward Wendy who held it.
Backstage, Joe Hendry ran into Trick Williams. Hendry thanks Trick for the assist in his match to get the NXT title shot. Joe says Trick doesnβt need to worry about anything because when he wins on Sunday at No Mercy, Trick will get the first NXT Title shot.
–Joe Hendry concert.
Joe Hendry concert was the last segment taped with Joe singing a song about Ethan Page making fun of Ethan in goofy photos of Ethan with action figures and in awkward positions. The main chorus at the end was βEthan sucks, Believe in Joe, Ethan put on some clothes.β Ethan Page came out and interrupted the song as the fans sang that chorus toward him.
He continued to run down Joe as they sang. NXT GM Ava came out and said because of Ethanβs actions with the referees, she is making a special guest referee for No Mercyβs world title match introducing Trick Williams. Joe Hendry laid out Ethan with a Standing Ovation before posing with the NXT title in the ring as Trick celebrated with him.
The match and special referee is official:
