Layla Diggs scored an upset victory on “WWE NXT” over Thea Hail, Lizzy Rain, and Izzi Dame to turn out to be primary contender for the Women’s North American Championship. She’ll tackle Zaria for a shot on the gold next week.
Dame tried to take control of the match early on, but Rain prevented it and the three other women went to work after Dame was taken to the surface. Diggs attempted a double pin on Rain and Hail, but was tripped up and sent face-first onto the ring apron by Dame. Diggs planted Dame onto the canvas, however it was Rain who tried to get the advantage.
Diggs hit a flying cross body to Dame and Rain on the surface, but Hail hit a trust fall from the center rope to all the field on the surface. Back within the ring, Dame hit a superplex on Rain, then Diggs and Hail hit double frog splashes. Hail almost had Diggs pinned off a standing moonsault.
Hail hit her springboard back senton to Diggs and Rain, but Dame tried to steal the pin. Diggs dove off the ropes right right into a cutter from Rain, but Dame tried to capitalize again and took down Rain with a boot, then an influence bomb before hitting Diggs with a chokeslam. Hail tried to lock within the Kimura Lock on Diggs, but Diggs ran Hail into the corner, before being sent shoulder-first into the post herself.
Dame and Rain went one-on-one with the opposite women down, but Hail intercepted Rain and tried to roll her up, then tried again for the Kimura. Rain hit a Thunderstuck to Hail, but Dame took out Rain with a giant boot. In the long run, it was Diggs who hit the moonsault to Hail, with Dame and Rain out of the ring, for the victory.
