WWE NXT Vengeance Day 2026 is set to deliver intense matchups at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, featuring two major championship battles. The event will highlight the battle for the NXT Championship and the NXT Women’s North American Championship, showcasing fierce rivalries and personal vendettas that have built tension over the past months.
Main Event Clash: Ricky Saints Challenges Joe Hendry for the NXT Championship
Joe Hendry captured the vacant NXT Championship last month in a thrilling seven-man Ladder Match, rising to the top of the brand. However, Ricky Saints, who upset Oba Femi at NXT No Mercy and has remained determined to reclaim the title, is ready to challenge Hendry’s reign. Their rivalry intensified after Femi regained momentum in a rematch at NXT Deadline, pushing Saints to pursue the championship relentlessly.
Saints appears confident, partly due to his new alliance with Ethan Page and The Vanity Project, which was highlighted during the most recent NXT episode. Hendry is not without allies either, receiving support from new NXT North American Champion Myles Borne, Shiloh Hill, Hank Walker, and Tank Ledger. Both camps are prepared for potential chaos, making this confrontation highly unpredictable.
Title Rematch: Tatum Paxley Aims to Reclaim NXT Women’s North American Championship from Izzi Dame
The NXT Women’s North American Championship features a bitter rivalry between former friends turned foes. Izzi Dame captured the title after betraying Tatum Paxley at NXT Gold Rush, costing her the championship opportunity. Since then, Paxley has been focused on seeking vengeance and regaining the belt from Dame, who will be fighting to defend her first title reign in NXT.
This heated personal grudge is expected to fuel an emotionally charged match, as Paxley looks to balance the scales against her former ally now turned adversary.
Intense Underground Match Between Lola Vice and Kelani Jordan
Lola Vice and Kelani Jordan will clash in a no-holds-barred Underground Match, a rare and brutal contest within NXT. This fight comes with added stakes, as Jordan previously injured Vice’s fractured hand by slamming it with a ladder, causing further damage despite medical advice against competing with the injury.
Jordan intends to exploit this weakness during their ropeless match. Ahead of the fight, Jordan trained with former NXT Champion and MMA star Shayna Baszler, upping the intensity and indicating the physical nature of their contest. Fans can expect a hard-hitting, unforgiving encounter.

Their ongoing conflict has escalated, with Monroe issuing a challenge for a Street Fight where anything goes. This grudge match could edge the victor closer to contention for the NXT Women’s Championship as both competitors fight for supremacy without restrictions.
Growing Feud Between Dion Lennox and Tony D’Angelo
A personal vendetta continues between Dion Lennox and Tony D’Angelo after D’Angelo targeted Lennox’s faction, DarkState, during their recent struggles for the NXT Tag Team Championships against The Vanity Project. D’Angelo has declared that one of his main goals since returning to NXT is to dismantle DarkState, setting the stage for a fierce bout at Vengeance Day.
