This week’s episode of WWE NXT saw a 28-year-old superstar return to get revenge on for an unprovoked ambush last week. Notably, the attack forced her out of a major match to decide the number one contender for the NXT Women’s Championship at No Mercy.
Karmen Petrovic was chosen for last week’s Six-Woman Gauntlet match by General Manager Ava via a lucky draw. However, this infuriated Izzi Dame, who believed she deserved to be in the match. Seeing Petrovic as her closest rival since they trained together, Dame ambushed her in the parking lot, rendering her unable to fight that night.
However, she wasn’t considered for the now-vacant spot by Ava, who didn’t want to reward such unruly behavior amongst other WWE stars. Instead, she gave the opportunity to Brinley Reece. While this infuriated Izzi Dame, Karmen Petrovic returned to get payback this week, winning the match after a close call.
Both WWE stars fought with visible animosity toward each other, with Dame trying to prove that she was stronger than Petrovic. She even tried to disrespect Petrovic by trying to pin her by placing her foot on her chest. However, the match ended with her taking the loss as Petrovic prevailed and successfully avenged herself.
It would be interesting to see if this would be a one-off match between these women or if they will lock horns in the future as well.
