NXT Spring Breakin' 2024 Week Two results

NXT North American Champion Oba Femi def. Ivar

Oba Femi threw down in a matchup between two of the biggest and baddest Superstars when he tangled with Ivar, but in the end it was the champion that walked out still North American Champion.

The Viking Raider looked dominant early on, using his unique athleticism for his 360lb frame to stagger the champion and even crashing him through the barricade at ringside and hitting a moonsault to the outside.

Femi proved his championship mettle by withstanding a Doomsault by sticking his right foot on the rope, forcing the break.

Ivar went for another Doomsault but this time it got countered before the champion hit a ring-shattering pop up powerbomb to retain his title.

After the match, Wes Lee made his shocking return from injury and confronted Femi, signifying that he wants his title back.

Thea Hail def. Jacy Jayne

Thea Hail scored what may be the biggest win of her career by defeating her former friend Jacy Jayne, but she unfortunately experienced a bout of déjà vu after the match ended.

Jayne used her experience to overwhelm her younger opponent, including countering Hail's signature backwards dive into a neckbreaker.

Jayne's partner Jazmyn Nyx attempted to hit Hail with a Pele Kick, but it missed and hit Fallon Henley instead, allowing Hail to lock in a Kimura Lock and submit Jayne.

However, after the match, Henley snapped and punched Hail with a stiff right hand much to the delight of Jayne and Nyx.

The O.C def. Tyson Dupont & Tyriek Igwe

Tyson Dupont and Tyriek Igwe showed out in their NXT debut, but they couldn't topple the established veterans of Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson.

The O.C. withstood the initial burst from the rookies and after one incredible Spinebuster from Anderson, the two hit a devastating Magic Killer to spoil the debut of Dupont and Igwe.

Ridge Holland def. Shawn Spears

Shawn Spears was on a mission to awaken the monster inside of Ridge Holland, and he may have gotten more than he asked for when the two met at Spring Breakin'.

Holland proceeded to get a look in his eyes as he reached a new level before hitting Spears with a tremendous DDT to earn the win.

NXT Tag Team Champions Axiom & Nathan Frazer def. AOP

With Karrion Kross, Scarlett, and WWE Hall of Famer Paul Ellering at ringside, Akam and Rezar nearly won the titles on multiple occasions, but Axiom and Frazer withstood every major shot that they took.

After The Final Testament attempted to interfere, the NXT official ejected them from ringside and during the chaos, New Catch Republic appeared and helped the champions retain their titles.

Lola Vice def. Natalya – NXT Underground Match

Brutality came to NXT once again as Natalya and Lola Vice made history in the first-ever Women's NXT Underground Match.

Natalya locked in a Sharpshooter but Vice's partner, Shayna Baszler, locked in a Kirifuda Clutch on Natalya's partner Karmen Petrovic, forcing Natalya to break the hold and save her friend.

Vice took advantage of that move as she proceeded to knock Natalya out and win the match.
