At the WWE Performance Center in Winter Park, Florida, a dramatic night unfolded on October 7, 2025, as WWE NXT Showdown Results revealed intense battles and pivotal moments that shaped the brand’s future. The Hardy Boyz emerged as unified tag team champions in a winner-take-all contest, while tension within Team NXT escalated after Trick Williams dramatically walked out during the men’s Survivor Series match.
Historic Unification: Hardy Boyz Capture Dual Tag Team Championships
The night began with a high-stakes winner-take-all match between The Hardy Boyz and DarkState, with both the WWE NXT Tag Team Championship and the TNA World Tag Team Championship on the line. Despite a brutal early ambush from DarkState before the bell, Jeff Hardy quickly gained control, delivering a powerful move to Cutler James and helping clear the ring for their team. Outside enforcers were removed by the referee, leaving DarkState’s Lennox and Griffin isolated.
The Hardy Boyz applied their signature double-team tactics, targeting Lennox’s arm and neck to wear down their opponents. DarkState shifted the momentum by isolating Jeff Hardy with relentless strikes and corner assaults, especially through the commercial break, slowing the pace significantly. Jeff’s endurance shone through with a Whisper in the Wind, setting up Matt Hardy to unleash a series of Side Effects, DDTs, and corner strikes against Lennox.
The closing moments were fierce and closely contested. DarkState surprisingly executed a double powerbomb, nearly securing the victory at a two-count. Matt Hardy retaliated with back-to-back Twist of Fates before tagging in Jeff, who clinched the win with a Swanton Bomb. This victory crowned The Hardy Boyz as the new WWE NXT Tag Team Champions while they retained the TNA World Tag Team Championship.
Immediately after the match, the celebration was cut short by an unexpected appearance from The Dudley Boyz and TNA President Carlos Silva, who stared down the newly unified champions from the audience, hinting at a potential future confrontation.
Women’s Survivor Series Match Showcases Resilience and Rivalries
The first women’s Survivor Series elimination match featured Team NXT—Jacy Jayne, Lola Vice, Jaida Parker, and Sol Ruca—against Team TNA’s Kelani Jordan, Mara Sade, and The Inspiration, with Jordynne Grace officiating as the special guest referee. The contest opened with fierce exchanges between Jayne and Jordan, sparking early tension that also flared between Jayne and Vice.
Team TNA gained the upper hand by isolating Lola Vice, as the match’s pace intensified with rapid tags and high-impact moves. Mara Sade secured the first elimination over Jaida Parker, but Sol Ruca quickly responded with a Sol Snatcher submission, eliminating Sade and evening the teams.
Lola Vice delivered a standout performance with aggressive mid-kicks, hip attacks, and a Rear Naked Choke submission that removed both Cassie Lee and Jessie McKay, narrowing Team TNA’s numbers. However, a miscommunication between Vice and Jayne allowed Kelani Jordan to capitalize with an Olympic Slam, eliminating Vice.
The finale featured a striking duel between Sol Ruca and Jordan, including an Avalanche Spanish Fly and a 450 splash attempt. Ruca’s resilience forced Jordan to the mat with another Sol Snatcher, but Jayne tagged herself in and expertly seized the pinfall, delivering victory for Team NXT.
Jacy Jayne and Sol Ruca emerged as the sole survivors of the match, underscoring their strength heading into future challenges.
Backstage Tensions Rise Ahead of Upcoming Matches
Backstage segments added intrigue to the evening, with AVA rejecting Matt Cardona’s apology over previous interference, while Josh Briggs stormed in, upset after being denied a spot. AVA granted Briggs a match against Cardona scheduled for next week’s show, setting the stage for further conflict.
Another backstage scene featured El Hijo Del Dr. Wagner Jr. announcing his intent to challenge for the North American Championship, only to be mocked by Lexis King, who accused him of impersonating Tavion Heights. The real Tavion Heights then appeared behind King, leaving her visibly shocked.
Meanwhile, tensions grew among the women’s competitors when Jacy Jayne cryptically told Sol Ruca she would “see her around,” prompting Zaria to question Sol’s alliances. Blake Monroe entered the conversation, accusing Sol of greed and warning Zaria that her own chances would be limited while Sol focused on title pursuits. Monroe revealed ambitions for the Women’s North American Championship, indicating that the partnership dubbed “ZaRuca” might not endure.
North American Championship Bout Excites Fans with High Stakes
Ethan Page defended his WWE NXT North American Championship against Mustafa Ali in a highly expressive and thrilling match. Ali’s speed and skill countered Page’s power early, highlighted by a Spinning DDT on the floor and a near pinfall following a Sunset Flip Powerbomb.
Page regained momentum with a series of impactful moves including the Confidence Breaker and a Pump Kick, combined with an Avalanche Snake Eyes. Ali’s resiliency captivated the crowd as he struck back with a Tornado DDT, a suicide dive over the announce table, and several rapid roll-ups.
As the match neared its climax, Page reversed Ali’s hurricanrana attempt and finished with The Twisted Grin, successfully retaining his North American Title in a contest praised for its intensity and athleticism.
Men’s Survivor Series Match Ends in Betrayal and Brand Defeat
The night’s main event pitted Team NXT—Ricky Saints, Trick Williams, Je’Von Evans, and Myles Borne—against Team TNA featuring Mike Santana, Frankie Kazarian, Moose, and Leon Slater, with Joe Hendry as special guest referee. Action was fierce from the outset, though Team NXT suffered early setbacks when Myles Borne was eliminated by Kazarian’s Slingshot Cutter, and Je’Von Evans was pinned following a counter roll-up by Slater.
As Team NXT appeared overwhelmed, internal conflict peaked when Trick Williams abruptly walked out, upset at being bypassed for the captaincy, leaving Ricky Saints to face the opposition alone. Saints fought valiantly, pinning Kazarian and Slater through clever maneuvers, showcasing determination despite the odds.
Nevertheless, the numbers proved decisive, as Moose and Santana executed a devastating Pop-Up Powerbomb followed by Spin the Block, securing victory for Team TNA. Mike Santana and Moose were the match’s sole survivors as they sealed the brand’s triumph.
Post-Match Developments and Future Prospects
Following Team TNA’s win, AVA congratulated Santino Marella and emphasized the strength of their partnership. She announced a Knockouts Division Battle Royal scheduled for the next week, with the winner earning a title shot against Jacy Jayne’s NXT Women’s Championship at the upcoming Halloween Havoc. Marella accepted the challenge, and their handshake closed the broadcast.
The show concluded with tension looming: The Dudley Boyz’s appearance signaled a potential challenge to The Hardy Boyz’s newly unified tag titles, Mustafa Ali’s quest for the North American Championship remains active, and Trick Williams’ unexpected departure raises serious questions about Team NXT’s unity and future performance. These storylines promise to intensify in upcoming WWE NXT episodes.
