WWE NXT Results – July 26, 2022
Your announcers are Wade Barrett and Vic Joseph.
Zoey Stark makes her way to the ring.
Zoey says it feels so good to be back inside this ring. She says you have no idea how good it feels to be in the ring again. She says she wasn’t sure if she would get to have this moment ever again. At Halloween Havoc I tore my ACL and MCL off the bone. I was told I would be out over a year. That was a hard day for me and a hard pill to swallow. Deep down inside, I knew I could beat that time table. The day after surgery, I started physical therapy and I got back to work. She says the insecurities that go through your head got to her. Would you remember her? She says she did not know. I know you can’t see past those curtains and behind there are the trainer’s rooms. I worked my ass off in there and I got back four months ahead of schedule. The night of the battle royal came. The noise you made when I came out when my music hit. That made all of the grueling pain of the surgery and physical therapy worth it.
Look at me now. I am the number one contender to the NXT Women’s Championship. Look who stands in my way . . . Toxic Attraction. The same women who took me out and nearly ended my career. Guess what. I am going to take that NXT Women’s Championship from Mandy Rose.

Zoey wants to know how Cora is feeling because the last time I saw you, I threw your scrawny ass over the top rope.
Cora says that she is already sick of Zoey after one week. Nineteen people worked against me and I would have won the match. You ruined my moment like Roxanne did two weeks ago.
Zoey says she held that title proudly and for you to throw away that title like a piece of trash. You are a piece of trash.
Cora says that Zoey is jealous that she did more in one week than you did .. . .
Toxic Attraction interrupts.
Mandy says you two talk a big game. She says that when it comes to this title, I only win. Tomorrow, I become the fourth longest reigning women’s champion in NXT history. Goodbye Bayley. Goodbye Charlotte. Goodbye Raquel Rodriguez. Tomorrow, goodbye Paige.
Zoey says that Mandy should put her title up against her tonight.
Gigi says that they have run this show since you have been injured. You don’t call the shots. Gigi says she will fight Zoey tonight and put her on the shelf longer. Your dream of becoming NXT Women’s Champion will stay a dream.
Grayson Waller walks in the back and he tells people to stop looking at your phone because she isn’t going to follow you. She is already following me. I wanted to sit back because the Grayson Waller Effect will be in action. I am going to embarrass Wes Lee tonight.
