NXT rolled into Wednesday night with plenty of unfinished business hanging in the air. After Heatwave, Blake Monroe had her sights set on championship gold, Fatal Influence’s internal cracks were widening, and a new #1 contender’s tournament was announced for Sol Ruca’s NXT Women’s Title. Let’s break down the night’s matches and moments.
Blake Monroe vs. Kelani Jordan
The show kicked off with a continuation of Blake Monroe’s Heatwave momentum… or at least, it was supposed to. Kelani Jordan wasted no time, blasting Monroe with a front dropkick before stringing together an armdrag into a pin and a jackknife attempt. Both women exchanged quick near falls until Blake rocked Kelani with a stiff headbutt.
Jordan answered back with a superkick, then connected on a handspring into a Skull Crushing Finale variation for two. Monroe regrouped, muscling Kelani into the corner and attacking the back with heavy strikes. She grounded her with a wristlock takedown and bridged into an armbar, but Jordan wriggled free into a crucifix pin attempt.
Momentum shifted again as Kelani landed a leaping side kick and followed with crisp strikes, a cartwheel neckbreaker, and an X-Factor. Blake bailed to the floor, only to eat a head kick from Jordan on the apron. That’s when Jordynne Grace stormed out, chasing Monroe straight into a locked door backstage. The chaos left Blake dazed enough for Kelani to capitalize: Samoan Drop, split-legged moonsault, three count.
Winner: Kelani Jordan
Wren Sinclair & Kendal Grey vs. Izzi Dame & Tatum Paxley
Charlie Dempsey set Wren Sinclair up with a reluctant new partner in Kendal Grey, and the chemistry was as shaky as advertised.
Izzi Dame muscled Kendal around early, but Wren tagged in to score a quick takedown. Paxley entered and quickly swung momentum with strikes and teamwork, Izzi dropping Wren with a corner dropkick before Paxley locked in a body scissors to grind her down.
Sinclair clawed her way to tag Grey, who exploded with clotheslines, a belly-to-belly, and a Flatliner to Izzi. Paxley cut her off, forcing Wren to tag back in, but a miscue in the chaos left Sinclair vulnerable. Izzi hit a sit-out powerbomb to seal the win.
Winners: Izzi Dame & Tatum Paxley
Alba Fyre vs. Tyra Mae Steele
Alba Fyre played her usual arrogant game early, but Tyra Mae Steele refused to be bullied. She whipped Alba around the mat with a bow-and-arrow submission and showed off surprising power with a German suplex into an ankle lock.
Fyre fought back with a dive through the ropes and a nasty knee to the skull, but her stomp attempt whiffed. Steele rallied, even dodging Chelsea Green’s attempted interference. Just as Alba lined up a superkick, Steele ducked and rolled her up for the shocking three.
Winner: Tyra Mae Steele
Post-match, Chelsea blindsided Steele until Tavion tried to intervene—only to get laid out by Page with the title belt. Page and Green stood tall over Tavion, draping the Canadian flag over him.
Lola Vice, Sol Ruca & Zaria vs. Fatal Influence
This one had chaos written all over it. Sol Ruca and Fallon Henley kicked things off, trading takedowns before Fallon nailed a suplex. Jazmyn Nyx tagged in to punish Sol, but Ruca muscled her down for a front slam and brought in Zaria, who nailed a hiptoss combo and a lariat.
Nyx rallied with a crossbody, but Zaria kept pace with power moves until Lola Vice tagged in to square off with Jacy Jayne. Vice showed off slick counters and an armbar attempt, though Jacy drilled her with a lariat and hip check for two. Fallon re-entered and briefly grounded Sol, but Ruca fired back with her signature agility—until Fatal Influence swarmed.
Through the break, FI dominated, cutting Sol off from her corner while Zaria and Lola were battered outside. The tide turned when Ruca escaped a suplex and tagged in Zaria, who flattened both Jayne and Henley. Jazmyn tried a springboard but was slammed down. Sol and Zaria combined for an elevated splash that nearly ended it.
Lola finally tagged back in, unleashing a flurry of kicks and hip smashes on all three members of Fatal Influence. Just as the heels regrouped, miscommunication struck—Jazmyn collided with Fallon, Sol pulled Jacy to the floor, and Vice nailed Fallon for the decisive pin.
Winners: Lola Vice, Sol Ruca & Zaria
A strong main event closed the show, with Fatal Influence’s unity looking shakier than ever. Meanwhile, Lola Vice, Sol Ruca, and Zaria walked out with momentum firmly on their side, critical with Vice’s title shot looming.
