NXT Level Up results: Ruca overcomes Palmer to pickup a critical victory

Tyson Dupont & Tyriek Igwe def. Uriah Connors & Kale Dixon

Growing more popular with every match on NXT and NXT Level Up, Tyson Dupont and Tyriek Igwe received a loud ovation upon entering the NXT Arena and continued to receive adulation while throwing fists with Uriah Connors and Kale Dixon.

What Connors and Dixon lack in experience as a tandem, they seemingly tried to make up for it with arrogance, particularly when they each took time to mock the NXT Universe rather than continue their attack on Dupont.

Dupont and Igwe soon got back on track, however, and they sealed the victory by teaming up for the Heart Stopper on Dixon, allowing Dupont to earn the pinfall.

Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo def. Jasper Troy

Make it 15 straight NXT Level Up wins for Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo.

The Underboss of The D’Angelo Family was laser-focused as usual, though the gargantuan Jasper Troy sent him crashing to the mat simply by stepping in his way after Stacks bounced off the ropes.

The former offensive lineman from Northern Iowa earned a long two-count with a swinging side slam, but Stacks climbed the ropes to rain down right hands and soon sealed the win by landing a superkick followed by Cement Shoes.

Sol Ruca def. Dani Palmer

Sol Ruca and Dani Palmer put their friendship on the backburner during NXT Level Up’s main event, throwing caution to the wind and digging deep into their playbooks in search of a critical win.

Competing with a newfound confidence after scoring a big win over Lainey Reid in her last match, Palmer claimed the advantage in the early goings by dropkicking the airborne Ruca out of midair before landing a frog splash from the second rope.

At a critical juncture, however, Palmer kicked out of Ruca’s crafty rollup, only for Ruca to immediately launch herself off the middle rope and level her opponent with a breathtaking Sol Snatcher to notch the three-count.
