NXT's Thousand Dollar Man Cameron Grimes was furious about what happened with Kyle O'Reilly in the opening of the show. Grimes received some mail regarding his purchase of a NFT, which he'd successfully bid on.
Unfortunately, someone came in after the bidding time had closed with a massive bid and won the NFT. Much to Grimes' displeasure, the bidder was none other than 'The Million Dollar Man' Ted Dibiase.
Are we about to see confrontation between Grimes and Dibiase on NXT?
Zoey Stark vs Sarray on NXT
Sarray's debut on NXT saw her face off against one of the brand's shining new stars, Zoey Stark.
Stark brought the newcomer down with her power advantage. Every time Zoeytook her to the mat, though, Sarray slid out of her grasp. A running dropkick took Stark down, and Sarray got a Muta Lock.
Stark broke away and used her strength advantage to wear down Sarray. A suplex slammed the Japanese star in the middle of the mat, and a series of elbows to the neck weakened her for a sleeper hold attempt. Sarray fought back and sent Stark to the floor giving her time to recuperate.
When Stark came back in, she was hammered hard with a series of big rights. Zoey responded with a running knee but was met with a pair of leaping dropkicks that nearly took her head off. A fisherman's suplex with a bridge almost pinned Stark.
Stark caught Sarray with a series of running kicks and knee strikes but missed the 450 Splash. A roll-through from Sarray earned another near fall, and she was dropped with a thrust kick for her trouble.
A spinning heel kick and forearm from Sarray set Stark up for a sleeper suplex, and that was all she wrote. The Japanese star was successful in her NXT debut.
Result: Sarray defeated Zoey Stark via pinfall on NXT.
Grade: A-
After the match, Toni Storm blindsided Zoey Stark, sending her headfirst into the steel structure near the ramp. Sarray made the save, but the damage was already done.
The NXT Women's Champion and Dakota Kai were interviewed by McKenzie backstage. Raquel Gonzalez and Kai were confident in the champ's ability and weren't phased by Io Shirai's statement earlier in the night. As far as the Mercedes Martinez's of the world, step up and be prepared to get knocked back down.
