WWE NXT Results:
Myles Borne defeated Saquon Shugars by pinfall to retain the North American Championship
- Tristan Angels debuts, then Kam Hendrix attacks Borne from behind and lands a uranage on him
Tony D’Angelo called out his next challenger for the NXT Championship, but he was interrupted by former IWGP World Champion EVIL, who handed him a black scroll with a red character on it. Tavion Heights ran in and laid out D’Angelo before Will Kross came in and hit a moonsault.
- NXT’s Vic Joseph reacted to Kroos’ debut by asking if he was a fan. It makes sense in the moment, but an odd selling point in hindsight.

- Legacy hit a Fireman’s Carry neckbreaker for the win. BirthRight attacked Prosper and Legacy after the match, Evolve star Tate Wilder ran out to the ring for the save
Jaida Parker is shown getting into an argument with Kali Armstrong in the women’s locker room.
Lola Vice calls out Izzi Dame and dares her to meet her in the ring. Shawn Spears shows up on the screen and says Vice has to stay one step ahead, while Izzi sneaks in from behind. Mr. Iguana runs in and evens the odds, taking out Izzi and Niko Vance before celebrating with Vice.
Saquon Shugars and Dion Lennox are shown arguing when Cutler James tells them to stop. Osiris Griffin encourages them to get on the same page, then James and Griffin then decide to focus on the NXT Tag Team Championship.
Lizzy Rain defeated Nikkita Lyons
- This was Rain’s WWE debut. She won after hitting her finishing move, Thunderstruck, a Shining Wizard-like elevated knee strike.
Kelani Jordan defeated Wren Sinclair (w/ Kendal Grey)
- Jordan wins after hitting a split-legged moonsault
Shiloh Hill defeated Ricky Saints
- Hill won after hitting The Wind of the Beast
Just before the show went off the air, Tony D’Angelo is shown telling Shawn Michaels that Keanu Carver is right about having a target on his back. Michaels tells D’Angelo if he wants the attention, he can have it as champion.
