Folks, let’s break it down—Eddy Thorpe walked into NXT Underground undefeated, looking like the toughest guy in the fight club. Trick Williams? He walked in looking like he had a point to prove. And prove it, he did.
After months of back-and-forth, Williams finally settled the score, handing Thorpe his first-ever Underground loss. But did Williams get a chance to celebrate? Nope. Because in true WWE fashion, just when you think things are over, a parade of masked weirdos show up to ruin the moment.
Underground Rules: No Ropes, No Mercy, No Chill
This wasn’t your regular NXT match—this was Underground. No ropes. No disqualifications. No breathing room. From the opening bell, Williams and Thorpe immediately tried to rip each other apart, taking the fight to the floor, the steel steps, and even the commentary booth.
Thorpe looked like he was about to end Williams after tossing him into the announce table, but Williams refused to stay down. After surviving a nasty armbar attempt, he blasted Thorpe with the Trick Knee, scoring a flash knockout and securing the biggest win of his NXT career.
And Then? Absolute Madness.
Williams didn’t even get to enjoy his win before calling out NXT Champion Oba Femi, because apparently one fight per night just isn’t enough. Femi stepped up, but before anything could escalate, a new masked faction—Deep Slate—showed up like a group of very well-organized ninjas.
For weeks, these guys have been lurking around, messing with the likes of Fraxiom and Je’Von Evans. But instead of throwing hands, they just… stood there. Staring. Creepy.
What’s Next for Everyone Involved?
- Trick Williams – Does he go straight for Oba Femi’s NXT Championship at Stand & Deliver, or does he deal with Je’Von Evans first?
- Eddy Thorpe – He just lost his Underground streak. What’s next for him? A revenge tour?
- Deep Slate – Are they a threat to Williams? Femi? Everyone? Do they even talk?
With Stand & Deliver approaching, one thing is certain: NXT just got a whole lot more unpredictable.
