WWE NXT Results 11/7 - Heritage Cup Match, Iron Survivor Challenge Qualifiers & More
Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s results for "WWE NXT" on November 7, 2023, coming to you live from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida!
Noam Dar will be putting his "NXT" Heritage Cup on the line against Alpha Academy's Akira Tozawa. Dar has held the Cup since defeating Nathan Frazer at "NXT" Heatwave back in August, and has only had one defense thus far against Butch at "NXT" No Mercy.
Newly crowned "NXT" Women's Champion Lyra Valkyria will be addressing the "NXT" Universe for the first time since becoming titleholder. Valkyria dethroned Becky Lynch during Night One of "NXT" Halloween Havoc, ending her 42 day reign in the process.
After weeks of animosity, Bron Breakker will be going one-on-one with Von Wagner as the two look to put their issues to rest once and for all. Breakker currently holds two wins over Wagner, and defeated his associate Mr. Stone in rapid fashion during Night Two of Halloween Havoc.
The first participants in the Men's and Women's Iron Survivor Challenge matches at "NXT" Deadline will be determined, as Dijak takes on Tyler Bate and Tiffany Stratton squares off with Fallon Henley. Last year's Iron Survivior Challenges were won by Grayson Waller and Roxanne Perez, both of whom recieved matches for the "NXT" Championship and "NXT" Women's Championship respectively.

Back from the break, Carmelo Hayes is waiting in the ring.
Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams Come Face-To-Face
Hayes wastes no time and calls Trick Williams out to the ring. Williams' music hits and he makes his way down to the ring.
Hayes tells Williams he understands why he's upset, but says roadblocks are part of the journey. He says he called Williams to share the glory of his title reigns, and Williams says he's having a hard time figuring things out after doing nothing but putting Hayes first for the past two years. He says every time Hayes won a title, it felt like he did too. Hayes says when he won, Williams did too and Williams says it was easy for Hayes when he had the ball to take all the shots. He questions why Hayes can't support him in the same way now that he has the ball, then looks to ask him if he attacked him.
Hayes cuts him off and asks him if he believed in him. He says he's always been there for Williams and he's always known he was destined for greatness. He says he's been telling him such for months, and says he knew he had the potential to be a once in a lifetime performer. He asks Williams if that answered his question, and Williams says he wants to have his moments. He says he was always there when Hayes was there, and questions where he's been. He says Hayes hasn't been there when he was attacked, and Hayes looks to confirm that Williams never saw who attacked him. Williams confirms such, and Hayes asks the same question again. Williams says yes once again, then asks Hayes if he was the one who attacked him.
Before Hayes can answer, he is cut off by Lexis King's music. King gives his own version of what's happening, and both Hayes and Williams tell him that this doesn't involve him. King says he's trying to help the two of them get to the bottom of things and accuses Hayes of being the attacker. He says it could've also been someone new to "NXT" with a dark mind and asks Williams if he's sure Hayes was his attacker. Williams looks to clock him, but accidentally ends up hitting Hayes. He immediately apologizes, and looks to help Hayes up. Hayes slaps his hand away the first time, but takes it the second time. The two men hug as the show goes off the air, but Hayes appears to be visibly angered by what just happened as they do so.
