NXT Level Up results: Jan. 5, 2024
Brooks Jensen def. Luca Crusifino Now sporting a mustache and a mullet, Brooks Jensen continued his venture into singles competition by pulling no punches during a brawl with the conniving Luca Crusifino. True to form, “The Legal Eagle” took the advantage by blasting Jensen with a reverse elbow to the jaw during a rope break, and he scored a two-count after getting some serious hangtime and dropping his opponent with an incredible neckbreaker. Nevertheless, the country-strong Jensen answered with a debilitating clothesline and earned the win by soaring from the top rope with a knee drop to the face. Kiana James & Izzi Dame def. Brinley Reece & Kiyah Saint In addition to getting their pre-match handshake down pat, Brinley Reece and Kiyah Saint also showed impressive in-ring chemistry against the coldblooded Kiana James and her new associate, Izzi Dame. Reece and Saint hit the ground running, making a couple quick tags and overwhelming the infuriated James. Saint looked to be closing in on a win for her team when she received a tag and blitzed both of her opponents. However, Dame distracted Saint and tagged into the match, and James and Dame nailed Saint with a flatliner and a Dealbreaker, respectively, for the three-count. Oro Mensah def. Dion Lennox Dion Lennox seemingly went into his main event bout with Oro Mensah looking to be the aggressor, and the strategy paid dividends several times in the edge-of-your-seat collision. Case in point, the NXT Arena came unglued when Lennox whipped Mensah into the corner to send him flying over the turnbuckles and crashing to the ringside floor. Jakara Jackson and Lash Legend, however, stepped between the competitors to give Mensah a reprieve, and Mensah got back on the attack with a nasty kick before later scoring the win by fish-hooking Lennox and clocking him with a spinning heel kick.
