During tonight’s WWE NXT event at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, NXT GM Ava revealed plans for the future of the WWE NXT Championship, setting up a high-stakes six-man ladder match. The show featured intense matches including Joe Hendry versus Dion Lennox in a No Disqualification bout, Jasper Troy’s defense of the NXT Men’s Speed Championship against Tavion Heights, and a tough fight between Lola Vice and Kelani Jordan. Izzi Dame also took center stage to discuss her recent win of the Women’s North American Championship.

This event served as a critical moment to showcase fresh rivalries and introduce a formidable new presence that could reshape the NXT men’s division and championship hierarchy.

Setting the Stage for the Next NXT Champion

The show began with NXT GM Ava standing in the ring amidst the entire NXT locker room, highlighting the openness of the men’s division and the uncertain future of the NXT Championship. Ricky Saints made his entrance, immediately demanding recognition as the top contender and declaring himself the present force to beat, dismissing others as future champions. Despite his bold claims, Ava emphasized the competitiveness of everyone present, announcing the upcoming six-man ladder match that would determine the new champion. The championship belt was then suspended above the ring, signaling the stakes.

The atmosphere quickly intensified when Keanu Carver, the latest addition from the Evolve roster, appeared suddenly and demolished everyone in sight, instantly establishing himself as a dominant force in NXT. His overwhelming display left Saints visibly shaken, suggesting Carver may drastically alter the division’s dynamics moving forward.

Lola Vice and Kelani Jordan Deliver a Fierce Battle

The women’s division heated up as Kelani Jordan ambushed Lola Vice even before the match officially began. Jordan dominated early, launching an aggressive offense and landing a high-flying move off the top rope. However, the match took a turn when Jordan attempted an illegal roll-up using the ropes, only to be caught by the referee. As Jordan argued the call, Vice capitalized with a decisive Uraken strike, securing the victory.

Despite interference and fierce exchanges, Lola Vice emerged victorious, signaling her intent to challenge for higher honors in the women’s division.

The match stood out as one of the better displays in the often brief and chaotic Speed Championship bouts.

Following the match, Lexis King launched a surprise attack on Tavion Heights, hinting at further developments in their rivalry.
