Bonus Episode: Bayley (c) vs. Nia Jax (NXT Takeover: London 2015)

In this special holiday bonus episode of Grapple City Rewind, Bradley and Aaron jump back to NXT TakeOver: London (2015) to revisit a standout match for the NXT Women’s Championship: Bayley vs. Nia Jax. With a red-hot UK crowd, peak black-and-gold NXT energy, and Bayley in full “hugger” babyface mode, this match captures a unique moment in modern wrestling history.Aaron breaks down why this bout stood out to him—its December timing, Bayley’s first encounter with the now-iconic “Hey Bayley” chant, and a performance that showcased both Bayley’s underdog resilience and an early-career Nia Jax looking genuinely intimidating. The hosts dig into the crowd atmosphere, the storytelling, the submissions, and the enduring charm of Bayley’s character during this era.It’s a short, festive rewind packed with nostalgia for black-and-gold NXT fans and a warm lead-in to Season 2 coming in January.(626) 657-SLAMEmail: [email protected]: @grapplecitypodX:  @grapplecitypodTikTok: @grapplecitypodThreads: @grapplecitypodMusic by Bradley Palermo & The Shadow Queens.Created by  Bradley Palermo & Aaron Fink.
