WWE NXT Results 8/1 - Schism Holds An Interrogation, Lyra Valkyria Collides With Jacy Jayne
Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s results for "WWE NXT" on August 1, 2023, coming to you live from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida!
Lyra Valkyria defeated Jacy Jayne on the Fourth of July episode of "NXT", and tonight, Jayne has a shot at redemption as the two collide in a rematch. The pair have been at odds with one another over the past several weeks, blindsiding one another with attacks and coming face-to-face with some choice words for each other on multiple occasions
Last week, two masked individuals from Schism cost Joe Gacy, Rip Fowler, and Jagger Reid their six-man tag team match against "NXT" Champion Carmelo Hayes, Trick Williams, and Ilja Dragunov. Tonight, the trio and Ava will hold an interrogation as they look to get to the bottom of who they are and resolve their issues once and for all.
Valentina Feroz and Yulisa Leon look to keep their good fortunes rolling as they take on newfound allies Elektra Lopez and Lola Vice. Feroz and Leon joined forces with "NXT" Heritage Cup Champion Nathan Frazer and Dragon Lee to defeat Meta-Four this past Sunday on the pre-show of "NXT" The Great American Bash.
Additionally, Dijak will be returning to televised in-ring action as he squares off with Eddy Thorpe. Dijak last competed on the "NXT" Battleground special in May, during which he fell short to the aforementioned Dragunov in a Last Man Standing match.

We then head backstage to Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams talking about Hayes' defense against Ilja Dragunov at The Great American Bash. Williams says he meant what he said last week when he said he has to do this for him. Hayes voices his support, and Williams explains that the "NXT" Universe sees him as a sidekick. He says he isn't the "NXT" Champion and he has to show Dragunov what he's made of. Hayes says he respects that, and Williams says while it isn't a breakup, it's time for him to be his own man. The pair then hug.

McKenzie Mitchell asks for an update on their condition, and D'Angelo makes it clear that he wants to face all three members of Gallus.

We Hear From Dominik Mysterio and Rhea Ripley
Ripley introduces Dominik as still the North American Champion, and says he proved that he's more of a man than Wes Lee, Mustafa Ali, and everyone in the audience. Dominik calls himself the greatest Luchador of all time, but before he can continue, Dragon Lee's music hits and he makes his way down to the ring.
Dragon says he won't let Dominik disrespect the "NXT" Universe or his heritage any longer. Ripley calls Dragon "Rey Mysterio Jr. Jr." and Dragon says he doesn't like him. He then questions Dominik's statement about being the greatest Luchador of all time, and says no one believes that because that honor belongs to his father. Dominik says he made the Mysterio name relevant, and Dragon says the only reason he is still North American Champion is because of Ripley. He then challenges Dominik to a title match next week as a means to prove himself, and Dominik accepts. Ripley makes it clear she'll be at ringside, and Dragon says he won't be alone either. Rey Mysterio then appears on the Titan Tron and says he's proud to say he'll be on "NXT" next week in the corner of someone he truly respects.

Noam Dar and Oro Mensah walk in, and Dar gloats about being the so-called Heritage Cup Champion.

Back from the break, Schism is waiting in the ring with several of their members.
Schism Attempts To Figure Out Who Is Responsible For Their Recent Sabotage
Joe Gacy says it's not uncommon to have issues with new members, but insubordination is toxic to the roots of the Schism tree and must be eradicated. Rip Fowler and Jagger Reid speak to the two saboteurs as if they are The Creed Brothers in disguise, and Ava says two of the masks put their hands on The Dyad which is unacceptable. She asks each person to step forward and take their masks, and each individual does it one by one (including Ikemen Jiro) until there are two left. Fowler and Reid attack the two remaining members (thinking they're Brutus and Julius Creed) and unmask them, only to find out they aren't The Creed Brothers.
Julius and Brutus then pop up on the Titan Tron, and laugh at Fowler and Reid for thinking the two individuals were them. Julius says they lost the Loser Leaves "NXT" match and tells them all about the adventures himself and Brutus have been on. He makes it clear that they "aren't in Orlando", and thank Schism for giving them some vacation time.
The Dyad then look to attack the two individuals, but Gacy stops them and tells The Creed Brothers he knows they're nearby. He tells Schism members across the world to bring Brutus and Julius to him.
