The 2024 NXT Spring Breakin event goes down tonight. WWE had previously announced this year’s edition of Spring Breakin’ would be a two-week event. The NXT spring event kicks off in style at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.
Four matches have been confirmed at the time of the writing. The top NXT men and women’s titles will be up for grabs as well. Without further ado, let’s dive right into our preview of NXT Spring Breakin’ Week 1.
Sol Ruca vs. Blair Davenport – Beach Brawl
Sol Ruca was put on the shelf for 11 months following an assault in early 2023. The attacker would reveal themselves to be Blair Davenport on May 30, 2023, NXT. Ruca would make a surprise return to cost Davenport her match at NXT Roadblock in March 2024.
Ruca picked up the win against Davenport in their singles encounter on April 2. However, she’d lose the match to Lola Vice two weeks later due to Davenport’s interference. Ruca demanded NXT GM Ava to set up a No DQ match between her and Davenport.
The two bitter rivals are set to collide tonight in a Beach Brawl.
NXT Underground match contract signing
Lola Vice didn’t appreciate Natalya’s return to NXT. Miss Vice took the liberty to mock the BOAT following her win over Karmen Petrovic. Natalya would challenge Vice to an NXT Underground match in the lead-up to Spring Breakin’.
Both women will put pen to paper in what could turn out to be tense encounter tonight at NXT Spring Breakin’ Week 1. Will Natalya’s experience help her survive Lola Vice’s turf? We’ll find out at NXT Spring Breakin’ Week 2.
The D’Angelo Family vs. No Quarter Catch Crew – Six-man tag team match at NXT Spring Breakin’
Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo and Luca Crusifino defeated Damon Kemp and Myles Borne in tag team action in the lead-up to NXT Spring Breakin’. We learned the following week that The Family had eliminated a member of NQCC (implied to be Drew Gulak) at their behest.
Tony D’Angelo asked NQCC to pay up. The verbal confrontation turned into a brawl after The Don of NXT teased taking the Heritage Cup away from Charlie Dempsey. Both teams will meet tonight in a six-man tag team match.
Roxanne Perez (c) vs. Lyra Valkyria vs. Tatum Paxley – Triple threat match for the NXT Women’s Championship
Roxanne Perez beat Lyra Valkyria for the NXT Women’s Championship at Stand & Deliver. Lyra wanted her rematch but suffered a massive setback when Tatum Paxley turned on her. Roxanne watched as Paxley brutally assaulted the former NXT Women’s Champion.
However, Roxanne’s sadistic happiness turned into a bitter nightmare when Ava told her to put her title on the line in a triple threat at NXT Spring Breakin’. The odds are surely stacked against The Prodigy.
Ilja Dragunov (c) vs. Trick Williams – NXT Championship match
The biggest match of the night will see Trick Williams take on Ilja Dragunov for the NXT Championship. Williams had previously failed to dethrone Dragunov in their brutal showdown at NXT Vengeance Day 2024. The post-match angle saw Carmelo Hayes show his true colors and take out his fellow Trick Melo Gang partner.
Williams would defeat Melo in their historic main event at Stand & Deliver in front of a capacity crowd. He’d also win their Steel Cage encounter on April 16th WWE NXT. Williams cannot afford to lose at Spring Breakin’. If he does, it’ll be the last time we are going to see him on the White and Gold Brand.
