🔥 The Main Event: NXT Championship On The Line
Trick Williams (c) vs. Carmelo Hayes – Steel Cage Match
The rivalry between Trick Williams and Carmelo Hayes has been one of the most personal and intense stories in NXT history. What started as a brotherhood has turned into a blood feud, with both men trading vicious attacks, betrayals, and show-stealing matches.
At NXT Live 4/22/25, they finally step inside a Steel Cage to settle the score once and for all—with the NXT Championship hanging in the balance.
Why This Match Matters:
- No Escape: The Steel Cage ensures no interference, no running away—just pure, unfiltered violence.
- History: Melo believes he made Trick, while Trick says he outgrew Melo. Who truly deserves to be the face of NXT?
- Potential Swerve: Could a third superstar (like a returning Bron Breakker or Ilja Dragunov) crash the party?
Prediction: Trick retains, but Melo turns heel again post-match, setting up an EXTREME RULES rematch.
💥 NXT Women’s Championship: A Clash of Titans
Roxanne Perez (c) vs. Lash Legend – No Disqualification
Roxanne Perez has been a fighting champion, but Lash Legend has been an unstoppable force, dismantling everyone in her path. After weeks of brutal sneak attacks and mind games, NXT GM Ava has made this a No DQ Match—meaning anything goes!
What to Expect:
- Weapons Galore: Chairs, kendo sticks, and maybe even a table or two.
- Outside Interference? The rest of the Meta-Four (Jakara Jackson, Noam Dar, Oro Mensah) could get involved.
- Surprise Return: Could Lyra Valkyria or Cora Jade make a shocking comeback to challenge the winner?
Prediction: Roxanne barely escapes with the title, but Lash looks dominant in defeat, setting up a future Last Woman Standing match.
⚡ High-Stakes Grudge Match
Ilja Dragunov vs. Dijak – “I Quit” Match
Two of NXT’s most brutal warriors will collide in an “I Quit” Match—a stipulation that fits their war-like history. Dragunov and Dijak have left each other battered in previous encounters, but this time, one man must verbally surrender or be beaten into submission.
Key Factors:
- Unmatched Intensity: Both men thrive in hardcore environments. Expect vicious strikes, insane bumps, and possibly blood.
- Mind Games: Will Dijak target Dragunov’s injured neck? Will Ilja push himself beyond human limits again?
- Future Implications: The loser may be forced to leave NXT… or could this lead to a call-up to RAW or SmackDown?
Prediction: Dragunov wins after an absolutely brutal fight, but Dijak refuses to quit—forcing the referee to stop the match.
🌟 Breakout Star Showcase
Oba Femi vs. Nathan Frazer – North American Championship Open Challenge
Oba Femi has been an unstoppable monster since winning the NXT North American Championship, crushing every challenger in his path. But high-flying sensation Nathan Frazer has answered his open challenge, promising to use his speed to overcome Femi’s power.
Why This Could Steal the Show:
- David vs. Goliath: Frazer’s aerial assault vs. Femi’s raw strength.
- Potential Cash-In: Could Lexis King (Mr. Money in the Bank) swoop in after the match?
- Future Opponents: A Frazer win could set up a feud with Tyler Bate or Joe Coffey.
Prediction: Oba Femi retains, but Frazer earns his respect in a thrilling match.
