WWE NXT Results:
A highlight package for last week’s action is shown.
NXT North American Championship Match: Ethan Page (c) vs. Elio LeFleur
Page knocks over LeFleur with a shoulder block. LeFleur
flips out of a hold from Page and mockingly pats Page on the head. LeFleur sends Page over the top and lands a dive. Page cuts LeFleur off and lands a nasty backbreaker on the top turnbuckle.
After the break, Page works over LeFleur. LeFleur fires up. Page gets his knees up. LeFleur tries a ranna and gets powerbombed. Page rolls LeFleur up with a handful of tights for the win.
Winner and STILL North American Champion, Ethan Page!
Grade: C+
This was a fun match, but the jury is still out on LeFleur. Being a high flyer is one thing, but it seemed all of his offense, beyond a few strikes, was dependent on the ropes. All of that bouncing around is fine, but it doesn’t give us a sense of whether LeFleur is good or not. After tonight, this writer is willing to give this some time, but debuting in a loss is certainly a choice.
NXT Championship Ladder Match Qualifier: Josh Briggs vs. Shiloh Hill
Hill is in control early. Briggs fires back and walks into a ranna from Hill. After the break, Briggs is working over Hill. Briggs misses a moonsault. Hill hits his finish for the win.
Winner- Shiloh Hill
After the match, Tony D’Angleo spawns in the ring and attacks Hill and Briggs. D’Angleo and Ricky Saints have a staredown. D’Angelo walks away.
Grade: C+
Who did Briggs piss off?
The Vanity Project vs. Chase U
Chase U are in control early. Baylor and Smokes take control after a cheapshot. Smokes and Baylor get the win after Drake gets involved in the match.
Winners- The Vanity Project
Grade: C
Standard TV tag match. Both teams are… let’s just say young. So young. Sigh. What are they doing? At this point, they may want to move a vet team to NXT to help with the division.
Miss Parker…
The NXT crowd welcomes Parker back. Parker cuts a weirdly babyface promo, putting over a few faces and putting down a few heels. Parker declares she is back, and her hard work will speak for itself. Parker is the standard that doesn’t need to bend. She will not dim her light because… and the lights go out, and Blake Monroe interrupts from the bird’s nest. The spotlight is on Monroe. Monroe tells Parker she doens’t get to come back and stand in her way. Parker says she’s standing right here.
Grade: B
Jaida Parker is a star. Period. Not taking away from Blake Monroe, she is well on her way to running the women’s division, but Parker has something that most don’t. She has the same thing that Trick Williams does. There is just an inherent charisma that is impossible to ignore. The IWC complained about this feud being set up, but this is the perfect feud for BOTH women. They are going to try to murder each other, and it’s going to be so fun to watch.
NXT Championship Ladder Match Qualifier: Sean Legacy vs. Eli Knight
Legacy and Knight start off hot with kick hip tosses, strikes, and flips. Legacy sends Knight out of the ring and lands a dive. Knight lands a dropkick that sends Legacy out of the ring. Knight eventually lands an Asai moonsault.
After the break, Knight lands a double jump moonsault for a nearfall. Legacy hits his finish for the win.
Winner- Sean Legacy
After the match, Tony D’Angelo teleports back into the arena and attacks Legacy. NXT GM Ava comes to the ring with the police. D’Angelo willingly surrenders and is arrested.
Grade: C+
Good TV match with an extremely obvious finish. That includes the attack by D’Angelo after the fact.
Number One Contenders Match for the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team titles: Zaruca vs. Wren-QCC vs. Fatal Influence
Ruca, Reid, and Grey kick off the match. Everyone trades quick pinfalls. Zaria tags herself in and lands a double clothesline. Grey and Sinclair double-team Zaria. Ruca and Zaria try the keg stand, but Zaria’s injured shoulder gives out. Fatal Influence clears the ring, and Reid lands a dive. Grey and Sinclair both land dives to the floor. Ruca fires up. Zaria tags herself in and hits a double spear. After a bunch of shenanigans, Ruca lands a double Sol Snatcher. Zaria pins Henley after an F5.
Winners and NEW Number One Contenders, Zaruca!
Grade: B
This match was a ton of fun. In Rasheed Wallace’s voice All three teams played hard. Good night.
WWE NXT Review:
NXT is in such flux it’s hard not grade this show on a curve, but this writer isn’t shooting this show any bail. The show is all over the place. Some matches are great (the main event), and some promo segments hit (Jaida Parker delivered her “Hard Times” promo, and this writer has yet to recover), but everything else is just bland. Time will tell if any of the new stars will hit, but as of 2026, NXT has been a rough watch.
Rating: C
This event is ongoing. This information will be updated as the event progresses.
