WWE NXT SPRING BREAKIN’ WEEK TWO RESULTS AND LIVE BLOG FOR APRIL 30
Doctor, doctor, please, oh, the mess I’m in. She walked up to me and really stole my heart, and then she started to take my body apart. Living, loving, I’m on the run far away from you, and now I’m liveblogging this pro wrestling show for these folks.
The show opens with a recap of last week’s show.
Trick Williams makes his first entrance as NXT Champion and gets on the mic.
He says there’s lots of people he could thank but tonight he’s gonna focus on Ilja Dragunov. They went to war multiple times and Ilja took him to levels he didn’t know he had and he’s grateful for everything he did for him and for NXT and bids him to do his thing on Raw.
Lash Legend makes her entrance carrying a manila envelope and makes a pterodactyl noise before congratulating Trick on winning the title and he helps her into the ring. He reminds her of what happened the last time they were in the ring together and asks if she wants a little taste.
She tries to rebut but he says he knows her type and he thinks he’s her Reese’s cup and she wants to take the gold off and get straight to the chocolate on the inside. She tells him actually she likes Kit-Kats and he says he’ll break her off and the sexual tension in the ring is THICK.
Legend waves him off and says his head is in the cloud and he’s not focused but she has something for him right there in the envelope and what she has there is the truth. He asks her to stop playing games and she tells him to enjoy his title reign because soon it’s going to come crashing down and things are going to get really, really hot.
We get another Arianna Grace charm school video where she teaches Georgina how to eat and drink like a proper lady, but Gigi Dolin has tonight’s matches on her mind.
Oba Femi makes his entrance and has a moment with fellow champion Trick Williams as we go to break.

Ava Raine is in the ring and on the mic and talks about how fulfilling it is to see talent go to the main roster and then talks about crowning a first-ever NXT Women’s North American Champion, the same way the men’s title was created, in a ladder match.
Next week they’ll do a combine to determine the 12 women who will have qualifying matches, the six winners of which will go on to the ladder match at NXT Battleground.
Enter Jaida Parker who talks about how she’s going to win the title.
Enter Sol Ruca, who says that Jaida is confident but she’s not going to win the title, because that’s her spot.
Enter Arianna Grace.
She’s practically having a panic attack over the ladder match and wants to crown a champion by non-violent means.

Roxanne Perez is backstage upset she didn’t get drafted and she blames Ava Raine and accuses her of telling Adam Pearce not to draft her, and even when Ava explains that champions couldn’t be drafted she sticks to her guns and accuses Raine of pulling strings, and storms off before Raine can tell her some kind of announcement.
Josh Briggs is in the trainer’s room with Ivar telling him that Oba Femi hits like a truck. Wes Lee rolls up to tell them both they did a great job and he’s got next, which Briggs doesn’t like. Josh tells him to hit the road and Wes says he doesn’t want to cut in line and he’d be happy to beat Briggs for a title shot.

Roxanne Perez is complaining in Ava Raine’s office and Ava says earlier she wanted to tell her who her next opponent is, and next week, Chelsea Green will challenge her for the title.
Chelsea rolls up in a darling coral two-piece with a huge bow and opera gloves and talks about how great it is to be somewhere that appreciates her.
That’s the show, folks.
