Last Time in Action: EK Prosper lost to Lexis King in the Men’s Speed Championship final (NXT, April 21). Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo and Uriah Connors alongside King, Arianna Grace and Charlie Dempsey lost to Prosper, Shiloh Hill, Hank and Tank and Wren Sinclair (NXT: Countdown to Stand & Deliver, April 4). Sean Legacy and Prosper defeated Jasper Troy (NXT, March 10).
BirthRight arrived with a smile, mocking their opponents before revealing they had laid out Dorian Van Dux backstage.
Prosper arrived followed quickly by a returning Legacy, starting a brawl that became a tag team match.
Prosper and Legacy showed chemistry that out-shined BirthRight throughout the fast-paced action in this contest, winning with Legacy’s Shambles on Stacks.
BirthRight attacked both men after the match until Evolve’s Tate Wilder came in to make the save.
Losses like this certainly do not help BirthRight’s standing in NXT, but it was nice to see Legacy back in action.
The action was fast paced and made Legacy look great. In a new-look NXT, he should be a major rising star in the division.
Even with King’s Men’s Speed Championship win, BirthRight needs so much more credibility as a group.
It is another showcase of NXT’s inability to build reliable heel factions, which makes it more difficult to build big babyfaces that can contest them.
Legacy and Prosper def. Stacks and Connors
