The NXT North American Qualifiers got intense; What happened to Mercedes Martinez?

The Robert Stone Brand

The Robert Stone Brand vs Shotzi Blackheart & Rhea Ripley on NXT

Rhea Ripley ran right into Mercedes Martinez, who was tagged out by Aliyah. That was, of course, a dumb move, as the former NXT Women's Champion launched Aliyah across the ring into the turnbuckle.

Reunited and it feels so good. 💚🖤 #WWENXT @ShotziWWE pic.twitter.com/cTrNj5QvN9

Shotzi Blackheart took over, planting Aliyah with a facebuster. As Aliyah broke away from a jackknife pinfall, Shotzi avoided a punch from Martinez. That allowed Aliyah to bring her down with a hair pull and tag Martinez back in.

The Robert Stone Brand tore apart Blackheart as Ripley stared on. Martinez tortured Blackheart, squeezing the life out of her with vairous submisison holds. Blackheart made it to her corner when Aliyah tagged in, and Ripley battered Aliyah with cravate style knee strikes.

An electric chair facebust planted Aliyah for a two-count, with Martinez breaking it up. Shotzi sent Martinez to the floor with an enziguri. Though Ripley planted Aliyah with the Riptide, a distraction from Robert Stone allowed Martinez to crotch Blackheart before she could go for the Senton.

Ripley took Martinez to the floor and powerbombed her over the barricade, sending her out to the uncovered concrete. Blackheat recovered and finished Aliyah with the Senton Bomb.

Let her rip. #WWENXT @RheaRipley_WWE @RealMMartinez pic.twitter.com/PC0TONOqrP
