An excellent Steel Cage match featuring Rhea Ripley vs. Mercedes Martinez closed out this week’s episode of WWE NXT on the USA Network.
Ripley executed a Rip Tide off the second rope and put Martinez through a table. The announcers made it sound like this was the end of the feud and they pointed out that Ripley was finally able to get the upper hand after being tormented for several months by The Robert Stone Brand.
This could be the end for Martinez on NXT because of plans for her on the main roster. As noted earlier, Martinez is one of the Retribution members that has been featured on Monday Night Raw in recent weeks.
Several people from NXT have been portraying the Retribution members in recent weeks and, as noted earlier, there is one main roster member who is part of the group. Click here for the spoiler news on who is part of Retribution.
