In-Ring: Zoey Stark
Zoey Stark makes her way to the ring. Zoey says she feels good not having to carry Nikkita Lyons around for another week. Nine months ago, I was on the shelf. I came back like a bat into hell to get a title match against Mandy Rose. I was ready and then I get called into a meeting. Everything changed. I was told that there was going to be a tag tourney for the WWE Women’s Tag Title and I was asked to team with Nikkita.
They chose us over more established teams like Toxic Attraction or Kayden and Katana. I knew I would have to do the heavy lifting, but I was proud to represent NXT. We didn’t make it to that part. After my match with Mandy, I wasn’t medically cleared. Nikkita comes in and puts her hand on her shoulder. Nikkita said that’s okay, accidents happen. She isn’t mad at her. Zoey says she did not get injured training or doing stupid videos on social media. I got injured wrestling for the title.
I came back and carried Nikkita on my back. Through the training and tape study, I asked her for one thing, take a fraction of the load. All I got was endless apology instead of endless results. When I held those tag titles in my hands last week, they should have been mine. I knew exactly what I needed to do.
We see footage of what Zoey did to Nikkita.
Zoey she tried her hardest to help Nikkita. She was helping a new athlete. The more time I gave, the more they clung and leeched to her. She says she is done and tired of this. She tried to be the solution. Now she is a huge part of the problem. She didn’t get famous posing on the beach or doing some stupid dance on social media. I did it in the ring.
For all of you cheering her own, SCREW YOU. You are the same people who go on social media and like those posts. Zoey says you look at Nikkita looking at her assets and dream about her. SCREW ALL OF YOU. The way I see it, NXT is not about the future. It is about Zoey Stark. I am UNDENIABLE. I’m the hunter while every female back there is the prey.
