WWE NXT Results (December 9th, 2020): Winners, Grades, and Video Highlights

That's all for tonight, you fine folks! Thanks for coming out! I will see you guys next Wednesday (unless you check out my LIVE coverage of the other weekly shows elsewhere), but until then... I'm outta here.

RESULTS:
Raquel Gonzalez defeated Ember Moon
Tomasso Ciampa defeated Cameron Grimes
Grizzled Young Veterans defeated Ever-Rise and Imperium
Jake Atlas defeated Isiah 'Swerve' Scott

A pretty eventful episode of NXT tonight. Kross is back, which is cool. And the push for Gonzalez is going full steam ahead.

It looked as if Gonzalez and Ripley were about to throw down, but Raquel smirks and high tails it out of there.

Toni Storm hits the ring to help Gonzalez continue the beat down on Moon, but Rhea Ripley (MAH UTHER GURL) comes out to back her up.

Moon goes for a Superkick, but Raquel grabs her leg and lifts her up into a powerbomb and gets the win.

RESULTS: Raquel Gonzalez defeats Ember Moon

Moon goes for the Eclipse but Raquel grabs her out of mid-air

Moon and Gonzalez are fighting it out in a TakeOver-quality level match.

Stopped right in her tracks. 😨#WWENXT @RaquelWWE @WWEEmberMoon pic.twitter.com/b77QYeATin

Lorcan and Burch comes to the ring to interfere, and Drake Maverick comes down to head them off. And they come back and attack Drake and Dain comes out to protect him and then goes back to the ring to fight Dunne but Dunne hits the Bitter End and wins

RESULT: Pete Dunne defeats Killian Dain

Vic Joseph shouts "Dain is ROLLING!" as Dain goes for a cannonball into the corner... and misses.

Killian Dain and Pete Dunne are just destroying each other... as expected

Who knew that RAW Superstar Bianca Belair was so knowledgeable about vaping?

Dunne and Dain is now ON

Tyler Rust is approached backstage by McKenzie as he apparently is heading to the trainer's room. Malcom Bivens approaches him and offers to have a conversation with him.

Priest comes out to start some trouble with the Gargano Gang... but Karrion Kross makes his return and destroys Priest with a powerbomb through a table!

Gargano presents Candice a trophy for winning War Games. It's got a doll version of Shotzi Blackheart's head on it.

Johnny Gargano, Candice Larae, Austin Theory, and Indi Heartwell are all celebrating Gargano's title win in the ring. Wade Barrett calls him "Good News Gargano" and now my night has been made.

This whole "old guy torturing BOA and Xia Li" gimmick kind of makes me nauseous.

Ciampa and Thatcher stare down as he leaves the stage, with Thatcher insisting he had nothing to do with Rust coming to the ring.

Meanwhile, Grimes is pretty upset with Thatcher and tells him so. Thatcher turns to leave, not giving a crud about Cameron Grimes. Grimes grabs him by the shoulder and turns him around - and Thatcher grabs his leg and twists it around in a move that looked so painful, my wife screamed while watching it.

Someone comes running to the ring and it looks like it's Tyler Rust? Ciampa takes care of him, and then Grimes with a Widow's Bell and a three.

RESULT: Tomasso Ciampa defeats Cameron Grimes

Grimes and Blackheart putting on a really good match, with Cameron reversing a powerslam and nearly getting a three count.

Could Goldberg vs. AJ Styles happen? 🤔https://t.co/qsmeoJor3c

Can Cameron Grimes do a Russian accent? I think he'd be perfect for a Rasputin biopic.

Ciampa has a headlock on Grimes, and Thatcher comes down to the ring, opens up a folding chair, and sits and watches the match.

So far we've seen the Kross tease...

Watched GYV and Imperium try to put on another quality match, but are interrupted by two guys...

And Toni Storm lay claim to the NXT Women's Title...

Not a bad evening thus far.

Grimes is in the ring as we come back from break, being... Cameron Grimes. Tomasso Ciampa comes out to the ring wearing a Halloween mask that looks like he got at a thrift store.

Looks like @WWEEmberMoon & #WWENXT Women's Champion @shirai_io got the last laugh tonight!! pic.twitter.com/wTGdcLnYmq

Ciampa vs Grimes is next.

Io and Toni are fighting backstage and out onto the ring area. Io with a VICIOUS punch to the face, and then a running knee into Storm. Toni tries to hightail it out of there, but out comes Ember Moon to toss her back.

"Toni, I don't have a problem with you... I just don't like you!" and BAM, the fight is on!

Toni Storm is being interviewed and she's going on about how she's got a problem with everybody talking about Ember Moon and not her. But, her team won on Sunday and now she's ready to win the NXT Women's Championship from.... oh, hey, it's Io Shirai (MAH GURL!)

I didn't really mean that crack about Ever-Rise. I know I give them a hard time every week, but that's just schtick. I think they're perfectly fine gentlemen and pro wrestlers.

Parker tries to go for a piledriver (that's a no no!) but James Drake flips it around - Ticket To Mayhem on Parker and GYV get the win.

RESULT: Grizzled Young Veterans defeat Imperium and Ever-Rise

Is Ever-Rise looking like chubby indie show back-ups a conscious decision or...?

There's no "sitting out" of this #TripleThreat match, Ever-Rise. 🤨#WWENXT @MattMartelWWE @ChaseParkerWWE pic.twitter.com/ZDxDd2WCix

Back from break and Grizzled Young Veterans, Imperium, and Ever-Rise are in the middle of a Triple Threat Match,

Tomasso Ciampa, who defeated Tim Thatcher on Sunday is taking on Cameron Grimes tonight. Tommy Champ cuts a promo about all of that, and then runs off really fast as if he heard his car alarm going off.

Swerve isn't just surprised he lost, he's angry. Atlas wants a good sportsmanlike handshake, but Scott storms out of the ring and Atlas is trying really hard to look like he's insulted and not doing so well at it.

Scott slaps an behind-the-back armbar on Atlas, but Jake rolls him up with a pin and a win

RESULT: Jake Atlas defeats Isiah 'Swerve' Scott

It is now time for Jake Atlas vs Isiah 'Swerve' Scott and I really think they need to bring Vince Russo in to be Scott's manager.
