WWE NXT Level Up Review - March 24, 2023

By Graham "GSM" Matthews

Odyssey Jones def. Kale Dixon

Jones desperately needs direction on NXT TV. He was building real momentum upon his return from injury but has been floundering for the past month or two. He's got charisma for days and isn't bad in the ring, either. There wasn't anything out of the ordinary about this outing, but at least it gave Jones an easy win. Due to this being a shorter show than normal with a slightly different format, we heard from Dixon in a pre-taped promo afterward, and I can't say he felt any less generic than he usually does.

Edris Enofe and Malik Blade def. Damon Kemp and Tavion Heights

Kemp and Heights have teamed up at least once before on Level Up, and like I said then, I really dig the pairing given their similar backgrounds in amateur wrestling. All four guys worked well together here and had a good little match. It didn't last longer your average Level Up main event (I would've cut the Dixon promo and added a minute or two to this), but I enjoyed what we got. Hopefully the Kemp and Heights team sticks.

Overall Show

I assume we only got two matches this week because two editions of NXT were taped this past week and thus less matches were taped for Level Up. Hey, I'm not complaining because the three matches don't tend to be anything special, anyway. That was certainly the case this week with what was very much an average episode. Both bouts were solid albeit forgettable. It was nice to see Jones and the duo of Enofe and Blade showcased, if nothing else.
