WWE NXT results:
Joe Hendry lays out Ricky Saints, Ethan Page and Tony D'Angelo
Women’s Speed Champion Wren Sinclair & Kendal Grey def. Fallon Henley & Lainey Reid
Kendal Grey lifted The WrenQCC to a big win over Fatal Influence, and she has her sights set on Jacy Jayne and NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne.
Fatal Influence normally have stronger synergy than teams they face, but Sinclair and Grey were their equals in that regard thanks to their incredible mat skills and timely tag-ins. However, a cheap shot from Reid leveled Sinclair and gave them an advantage.
Sinclair finally tagged in Grey, and the former Evolve Women’s Champion shined by bringing the fight right to Reid. As Reid locked in an armbar, Sinclair did the same with a Final Wrench, leading to a major victory for the duo.
After the match, Grey called her shot against Jayne, but Lola Vice came out and argued for her own championship opportunity, leading to a No. 1 Contender’s Match being set for NXT in New York City.
Zaria said WHAT to Sol Ruca?!
Kelani Jordan def. Thea Hail
Kelani Jordan made a major statement by crushing Thea Hail in a matchup between former NXT Women’s North American Champions.
Jordan looked strong the entire matchup, ending it with her signature One of a Kind Moonsault.
She attempted to beat down Hail after the match, but Jaida Parker arrived on scene to thwart the assault.
HE’S BACK! Johnny Gargano returned to NXT for epic Gauntlet Match
Johnny Gargano won the North American Championship No. 1 Contender Gauntlet Match
NXT legend Johnny Gargano returned to the brand he dominated for years, broke out of his slump and became the No. 1 Contender to the NXT North American Championship.
Shiloh Hill and Jackson Drake started the bout, but neither could find a fall before the time limit elapsed, which allowed Dion Lennox to enter.
Charlie Dempsey came out fourth, leading to Gargano’s epic return in the fifth and final spot.
Lennox was the first Superstar to be eliminated after Bronco Nima and Lucien Price attacked him at ringside and sent him crashing through the barricade.
Drake and Dempsey fell by Hill’s hands next, leaving just the near-catatonic Gargano left.
However, Birth Right attacked Hill after he eliminated Dempsey, and one swift push from Candice LeRae allowed Gargano to fall into the cover and earn his first victory in months.
| Los Americanos def. The Culling | NXT Tag Team Tournament |
Rayo and Bravo Americano returned to NXT and picked up a win in the No. 1 Contender NXT Tag Team Tournament.
Shawn Spears and Niko Vance weren’t phased by the change in opponent, but they couldn’t overcome classic Los Americanos trickery.
Rayo and Bravo slipped metal plates into their masks and used them to stun Spears and score the win, earning a match against Birth Right next week.
Tony D’Angelo def. Ricky Saints via disqualification
Ricky Saints and Tony D’Angelo battled to a near draw in a match that ended in a disqualification when Ethan Page nailed Tony D with a chop block.
With Ethan Page watching at ringside, Saints used his ring savvy to keep the powerhouse off balance, even sending him into the steel ring steps.
Saints’ onslaught backfired as it only energized his opponent, prompting Page to slide into the ring and attack D’Angelo.
As the two destroyed Tony D, NXT Champion Joe Hendry appeared and evened the odds before hitting D’Angelo with a Standing Ovation.
As the dust settled, Interim NXT General Manager Robert Stone revealed that all four Superstars will meet in a Fatal 4-Way Match for the title at NXT Stand & Deliver.
