The superstars of tomorrow aren’t just looking to climb the ladder—they are ready to seize their moment and force the wrestling world to witness the true power of the White and Gold brand.

Lola Vice Steals the Crown in a Triple Threat Classic

If you wanted human emotion and high-stakes drama, this Women’s NXT Championship match had it in spades. Jacy Jayne walked in with the gold and a whole entourage of backup, but Lola Vice walked out as the new queen of Tuesday nights.

Vice, Jayne, and Kendal Grey paced this beautifully. Rather than rushing from high spot to high spot, they let the damage breathe. Grey showed off some incredibly smooth counters, looking every bit like a future cornerstone of the division. But the story belonged to Vice. Once Wren Sinclair chased Jayne’s backup out of the arena, it was a fair fight. Vice uncorked a sickening spinning backfist on Jayne to secure the pinfall. An absolute banger of an opener.

Vanity Project Retains the Tag Team Gold

Brad Baylor and Ricky Smoked (The Vanity Project) are young, arrogant, and highly punchable. Naturally, they found a way to cheat out a victory over Los Americanos (the thinly veiled, endlessly entertaining duo of Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate).

The veteran savvy of Bravo and Rayo was on full display—at one point, Bravo suplexed both champions simultaneously because, well, he’s the Big Strong Boy. But youth and treachery outsmarted age and experience. Jackson Drake interfered behind the referee’s back, allowing Baylor and Smoked to steal the win. It was a solid bout, even if some of the comedy spots dragged the pacing down slightly.

Sol Ruca and Zaria Put Friendship in the Rearview

Breaking up is hard to do. It’s even harder when your former best friend is trying to throw you through a steel ramp. Sol Ruca and Zaria’s grudge match was built on months of simmering betrayal, and the bad blood translated perfectly between the ropes.

Ruca didn’t even wait for the bell, launching a springboard clothesline while her music was still echoing through the arena. Zaria eventually grounded the high-flyer, utilizing her immense power advantage. You could feel the desperation when Ruca momentarily tried to appeal to her former friend, only to realize the bridge was burned to ashes. Three Sol Snatchers later, Ruca secured a deeply personal victory.

Myles Borne Survives Johnny Wrestling

Johnny Gargano is to NXT what Tom Brady is to New England. So, when he challenges for the North American Championship—the very title he helped legitimize—it’s a massive test for the current champion.

Myles Borne passed that test, but just barely. Gargano dug deep into his bag of tricks, faking a moment of self-doubt just to sucker Borne in for a takedown. Even with Candice LeRae running interference, Borne showed incredible grit, dragging himself to the ropes to break the Gargano Escape. Borne retained clean, proving he belongs in the upper echelon. Of course, no good deed goes unpunished in wrestling; Dion Lennox immediately ambushed Borne with a steel chair post-match, laying the groundwork for our next title feud.

Tatum Paxley Grinds Out a Win Over Blake Monroe

This Women’s North American Championship match was good, but it felt like it was missing that extra gear. When two competitors despise each other this much, you expect them to try and tear each other’s limbs off. Instead, we got a standard wrestling match.

That said, Paxley’s early targeting of Monroe’s injured shoulder was smart, psychological work. Monroe nearly stole it with a Glamour Shot, but Paxley survived, hit her finisher, and kept her title safely around her waist.

Tony D’Angelo Pulls the Ultimate Heist

Nobody—and I mean nobody—had Tony D’Angelo walking out of a Fatal 4-Way with the NXT Championship on their bingo card expect me who chose Tony D’Angelo on the Total Apex Wrestling podcast on Youtube.

Joe Hendry, Ricky Saints, Ethan Page, and D’Angelo threw everything they had at each other. Saints and Page tried a temporary alliance, which fell apart the second a pinfall was on the line (as it always does). But the “Don of NXT” put on the performance of a lifetime. After putting Saints and Page through the announce desk, Tony D delivered a soul-crushing spear to Hendry to win the NXT Championship.

The crowd erupted for the hometown mob boss, closing out a fantastic, high-energy event that proved NXT is still the best pure wrestling show on television. Tony D who was on NXT with the likes of Brown Breaker, Trick Williams, Obi Femi, and Jevon Evans. This win could not have meant more to anyone else on this card glad he finally won the NXT Heavyweight Championship.
