#5. Elektra Lopez double-crossed Xyon Quinn to leave with Santos Escobar on WWE NXT 2.0
This week, new champion Bron Breakker opened WWE NXT 2.0 and spoke about his victory over Tommaso Ciampa. He put over The Blackheart before promising a memorable reign with the title.
The first match of the night followed soon after. Santos Escobar entered the ring to take on Xyon Quinn. The former stared down the new champion, hinting towards a possible future clash.
Quinn used his strength to work over Escobar early. The former NXT Cruiserweight Champion used several tactics to go after the limbs of the newcomer and weaken him.
Elektra Lopez arrived to distract both men. She stood in Escobar’s path as he tried to slam Quinn into the steel post.
Soon after, she revealed her true intentions as she delivered a low blow to Quinn. Escobar took advantage and finished off the powerhouse with the Phantom Driver. Lopez celebrated the win with Legado del Fantasma to end the segment.
Both NXT 2.0 Superstars delivered a good match early on Tuesday. It was the right call to put Escobar over in this one. The ending suggests that the storyline between Lopez and Quinn isn’t over yet. The newcomer could end up finding a way to get back at the female superstar.
