WWE NXT Results (02/07) - We Hear From Carmelo Hayes, Sol Ruca Vs. Zoey Stark, Bayley Hosts Toxic Attraction On Ding Dong, Hello
Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s results of "WWE NXT" on February 7, 2023!
Bayley will be bringing back her "Ding Dong, Hello" talk show tonight as she will be hosting Jacy Jayne and Gigi Dolin. Dolin and Jayne faced Roxanne Perez this past Saturday at "Vengeance Day" in a Triple Threat Match for the "NXT" Women's Championship, but ultimately both fell short. Cracks in the relationship between the Toxic Attraction teammates have began to form, and now the question remains: will they be able to keep their alliance going strong?
Carmelo Hayes seems to have some things on his mind that he wants to share with the "NXT Universe". Melo defeated Apollo Crews in a two-out-of-three falls match on Saturday, and made it known later that night he was coming for the "NXT" Championship after staring down Bron Breakker following his Steel Cage Match with Grayson Waller.
Elektra Lopez has been trying to show Valentina Feroz that her scheming ways earn her wins over the past few weeks. However, Feroz has refused to listen to her and has remained adamant that cheating is never the right thing to do (despite the fact she has struggled to pick up wins). As Feroz goes head-to-head with the dominant Lyra Valkyria tonight, Lopez will surely want to keep a close eye on things.
Elsewhere, Sol Ruca will collide with Zoey Stark in what promises to be a hard-hitting bout. The pair previously squared off on the November 22, 2022 edition of "NXT", and while Stark may have come out on top, Ruca has grown immensely since then.
We are live! The show kicks off with a video recapping what went down at "Vengeance Day". Vic Joseph and Booker T then greet audiences at home as Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams head to the ring.
We Hear From Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams
Williams says "Vengeance Day" will go down as the day Melo changed Apollo Crews from a vision seer into Stevie Wonder. Melo then gloats about his win, then says the "NXT" Universe knows he is everything he says he is. He says history doesn't lie and says he did what he said he would. He says there is still one man who needs to get put on a t-shirt. He says only one event can hold them both, but before he can finish his sentence, JD McDonagh's music hits and he cuts him off.
McDonagh says his ears must be deceiving him and says it sounds like he was about to challenge for the "NXT" Championship. He says Melo comes from an entitled generation, and while he loves calling himself "The A Champ", he isn't ready to be the face of "NXT". Melo says he thought he beat everyone, but it seems as if he left a survivor. McDonagh cuts him off and says while he counts merchandise sales, he counts body parts. He tells Melo he should call the hospital in advance because that's where he's going to send him. Melo then challenges McDonagh to a match, and McDonagh accepts.
We then head backstage to Fallon Henley and Kiana James. Henley says she saw James cheat in a replay, and says they're going to give Kayden Carter and Katana Chance a rematch. Henley then asks James if she's going to tell Jensen who she was talking to last week, and James says it was no one. The two then enter a room, where members of the "NXT" roster are waiting inside to surprise them with a surprise party.
Back at ringside, Sol Ruca heads down, followed by Zoey Stark.

James says she already thanked him and brushes her. A rough looking Pretty Deadly appears, and one of the party-goers asks what happened to them. Pretty Deadly says it's because they lost the "NXT" Tag Team Championships, then take note of Chase U and say they're the reason they failed to regain them. Andre Chase doesn't take too kindly to this, and says he would be happy to kick their asses later tonight.

The Creed Brothers agree that they need to get Indus Sher back for causing the injury before the medical official clears Nile. Isla Dawn and Alba Fyre walk in, and Dawn asks Paxley why she was outside when Nikkita Lyons was attacked a couple weeks ago.

We head backstage to Tiffany Stratton applying lipstick. Thea Hail approaches her and says she saw the TikTok she made about Chase U. Stratton calls her a fan, and Hail lists off a bunch of reasons why Chase U is great. Stratton calls Chase U "cringey", and Hail becomes increasingly frustrated. She tries calming herself down, but Stratton keeps running her mouth. Hail says Stratton only cares about herself, but all she cares about is Chase U. She says Chase U opens their arms to anyone, and if she's not down for that, then she can suck it. Ava Raine then appears behind her and drags her out of the room.
Back from the break, we head to Fallon Henley and Kiana James' party. Henley tells Brooks Jensen and Josh Briggs the party is awesome, then says she has something to tell him.

Bayley Hosts Toxic Attraction on Ding Dong, Hello
Back from the break, Bayley walks in through the "Ding Dong, Hello" door and greets fans at her talk show. She says she loves "NXT" and her guests tonight, then introduces Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne. The pair head to the ring, but side-eye one another and argue who gets in the ring first.
Bayley asks Toxic Attraction what happened on Saturday. The two women begin arguing, and Jayne says Dolin cost her the "NXT" Women's Championship. Dolin says Jayne was the one who cost her, and Jayne says they were supposed to be a team. Dolin says Jayne would've sunk into obscurity if she were to win, and Jayne takes a shot at Dolin's gear. Dolin says she was surprised she saw her gear when she was looking up at the lights.
Bayley asks each of them what they would do if they were to split, and Dolin says she hasn't give it much thought, but the sky's the limit. Jayne says her plan is to go straight to the top. Bayley asks them if that would be easier to have a ride or die to do it with, and Dolin questions what the locker room must think of her. Jayne does the same, then says Bayley knows better than anyone there is strength in numbers. Dolin says she needs someone who she can trust, and Jayne says when she gets angry, she goes for the jugular. She tells Dolin no matter what happens, she is her sister. Dolin echoes the sentiment, and Jayne says they can either go their separate ways or have one more run together. The pair then think about going after the "NXT" Tag Team Championships or even the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships. Bayley tries shoving the idea out of their heads, and the duo hug one another.
Jayne holds Dolin's hand up, but superkicks her out of nowhere and shoves her head into the "Ding Dong, Hello" door as Dolin begins sobbing.
