NXT Level Up results, Nov. 1, 2024: Mensah takes down Vance in thriller

Lainey Reid def. Carlee Bright

In case anyone believed that Lainey Reid acted out of character when she used the ropes for leverage to score a victory against Layla Diggs, she proved otherwise during her bout against Carlee Bright.

Sporting a new win-at-all-costs attitude, Reid ruthlessly dropped Bright throat-first onto the top rope before blistering her with several right hands in the corner.

Bright struck back with two clotheslines and a dropkick and nearly secured the win with a standing moonsault, but Reid escaped her opponent’s clutches by yanking her hair and notched the three-count with a modified neckbreaker.

Oro Mensah def. Niko Vance

Kickstarting what he hopes will be an incredible weekend for The Meta-Four, Oro Mensah threw caution to the wind in his thrilling main event clash with Niko Vance, an impressive rookie seeking his first win.

Mensah, whose Meta-Four allies Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson will compete in a Fatal 4-Way Tag Team Match for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Title at WWE Crown Jewel on Saturday, absorbed tremendous punishment from his loudmouthed foe in the early goings.

Just when Vance landed a nasty powerbomb and looked primed to seal the victory, however, Mensah landed a boot to the chin and a decisive spinning heel kick.
