NXT Level Up results: Axiom soars to a big win over Heights

Josh Briggs & Brooks Jensen def. Kale Dixon & Luca Crusifino

The smug factor was off the charts from the second Kale Dixon and Luca Crusifino stepped through the curtains and posed together on the turnbuckles before their clash with the hard-hitting tandem of Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen.

Teaming together for the first time against the former NXT UK Tag Team Champions, Dixon and Crusifino backed up their bluster for sizeable portions of the match, especially when they isolated Jensen in their corner and took turns stomping him into the canvas.

Briggs and Jensen won out with their experience advantage, however, hitting several impressive double-team moves and sealing the win with Ride the Lightning, which teed up Jensen to pin Dixon.

Valentina Feroz def. Lola Vice

Valentina Feroz and Lola Vice each competed at breakneck speed right from the opening bell in a battle the was equal parts slugfest and mat-wrestling clinic.

Once the early grappling gave way to fisticuffs and power moves, Vice slammed Feroz into the canvas with a unique spinebuster and followed with a nasty stomp to the back.

After absorbing tremendous punishment from Vice, Feroz got an assist from Yulisa Leon, who clobbered Elektra Lopez with a clothesline when Lopez tried to attack Feroz. Seconds later, Feroz launched herself back into the ring and pinned Vice with a picture-perfect sunset flip.

Axiom def. Tavion Heights

With an electricity permeating through the NXT Arena from the second he made his spellbinding entrance, Axiom didn’t disappoint once the bell rang for battle with mat technician Tavion Heights.

Axiom held his own while outmaneuvering the former Olympian in the early goings, then hit a vicious enzuigiri.

Heights almost scored the win when he blasted the highflyer with a ring-shaking Doctor Bomb, but Axiom narrowly kicked out and later secured the three-count following a breathtaking Golden Ratio.
