Summary
– Mandy Rose survived Alba Fyre in a throwback NXT Women’s Championship match from November 15, 2022
– The Last Woman Standing match featured weapons, a ladder spot, and a dramatic referee count
– Rose beat the count at the last second to remain NXT Women’s Champion
Mandy Rose and Alba Fyre delivered one of the more physical NXT Women’s Championship matches of Rose’s title reign on November 15, 2022.
The throwback match took place under Last Woman Standing rules, meaning there were no pinfalls or submissions. The only way to win was to keep an opponent down for the referee’s ten-count.
Fyre pushed Rose into survival mode from the start. The challenger used the anything-goes stipulation to her advantage, bringing a baseball bat into the fight as the match grew more dangerous.
Rose showed signs of trouble when her knee appeared to buckle during the action. The champion struggled to stand, giving Fyre a clear opening to close in on the title.
The match escalated when a ladder was introduced. Fyre went higher in an attempt to finish Rose, but the risk left both women down as the referee began counting.
The final stretch came down to pain and timing. Fyre barely moved while Rose pulled herself up just before the referee reached ten.
Rose beat the count in the final moment and retained the NXT Women’s Championship. The win kept her dominant reign alive, while Fyre proved she could push the champion to the edge.
Looking back, this match remains a strong reminder of how intense Rose’s NXT title run became. It was not just about winning, but surviving when the championship was nearly taken away.
