NXT Level Up preview: Reece and Diggs score big win over Bright and Grey

Tavion Heights def. Jasper Troy

Seemingly growing more confident by the week, former Olympian Tavion Heights brought some much-needed fire and intensity for his clash with the debuting Jasper Troy.

A former offensive lineman for the University of Northern Iowa, the 340-pound Troy impressed the WWE Universe with his stature from the moment he stepped through the curtain. He wowed them even more when he outmuscled Heights and used his brute strength to simply run through him and send him crashing back-first to the mat before connecting with a sidewalk slam.

Heights dug deep to escape his opponent’s clutches and dazzled the WWE Universe with an overhead suplex. Moments later, Heights dodged his hulking opponent and earned the three-count with a belly-to-belly suplex.

Brinley Reece & Layla Diggs def. Carlee Bright & Kendal Grey

Teaming with the more-established Brinley Reece, Layla Diggs enjoyed a WWE debut that she’ll never forget in NXT Level Up’s main event.

Diggs, a former track-and-field specialist, flashed incredible athleticism, scoring with an early headscissors takedown against Kendal Grey and deftly escaping Carlee Bright’s clutches to make a timely tag to Reece.

Grey received a tag and overwhelmed Reece with a series of strikes, but Reece recovered to take down her foe with a decisive roundoff DDT.
