Myka Lockwood Powerbombs Tate Wilder Onto Apron, Swinging Jackson Drake Match

3 articles · Updated · Cageside Seats · Jun 3

Summary

  • Tate Wilder lost control of his match with Jackson Drake when Myka Lockwood, stationed at ringside, shoved Drake clear of a dive, caught Wilder and powerbombed him onto the apron.
  • That interference — not Wilder’s much-discussed recklessness — decided the bout, with the recap framing the finish as academic once Lockwood landed the apron shot.
  • The segment stood out on a Jun. 2 NXT episode the review cast as lacking clear male standouts, even as prospects like Naraku and Mason Rook were cited as possible future focal points.
  • Across the show, OTM beat The Culling amid apparent internal cracks, Kelani Jordan and Kendal Grey were set for a No. 1 contender match next week, and NXT’s broader identity remained in question.
