Join 411’s Live WWE NXT Coverage

Keep Refreshing For The Latest Results

Hello everyone, and welcome to our live WWE NXT coverage on 411! It’s Jeremy Thomas, and we are in the aftermath of last week’s excellent NXT Roadblock. Tonight’s show will see Trick Williams and Eddy Thorpe settle their heated feud in NXT Underground, as well as Sol Ruca challenging Chelsea Green for the Women’s U.S. Championship. In addition, Ricky Saints will battle Ridge Holland and the The D’Angelo Family will seek revenge against The Culling. Looks to be a fun show overall.

Here at Thomas HQ, my movie-watching went back to my Hammer Watch Project as I saw the rather disappointing 1962 psychic kid/conspiracy thriller The Damned, 1963’s solid vampire flick The Kiss of the Vampire, and that same year’s William Castle-directed remake of The Old Dark House which I had fun with. Capping off my Hammer watches was 1964’s The Gorgon, which put a rather enjoyable spin on the mythological creature and had good performances as always from Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee.

Outside of the Hammer stuff, I did rewatches of 2024 standouts I Saw the TV Glow and Oddity and knocked out a couple of 2025 films in Max’s comedy horror flick The Parenting and the Dog Man film. I found the former fairly amusing and the latter was very much not made for me but I felt it was okay.

By the way, did you know I do a podcast talking about horror? (You probably do if you follow this live coverage.) Episode two of the Final Ghouls of Horror sees myself, Holly, L. talking about the iconic The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and you can listen to it below or wherever you listen to podcasts, including YouTube.

On TV, I’ve stayed caught up on Daredevil: Born Again which remains great and on a lark, I binged season two of Slasher, subtitled “Guilty Party” which was mostly fun. I only have season three left as a hole in my Slasher watch list and I’ll get to that eventually.

As a reminder, the GoFundMe for Larry’s kids is still active and if you can make a donation, that would be awesome. Thank you so much to everyone who’s done so thus far.

* We kick off with a recap of last week’s NXT Roadblock including Jordynne Grace’s win over Roxy, Je’Von Evans beating Ethan Page before being attacked by NXTribution, Undertaker giving Oba Femi a pep talk before he defended the NXT Title against Moose, and Stephanie Vaquer becoming a double champion by defeating Giulia in the title vs. title main event.

* Stephanie Vaquer and Trick Williams arrived to NXT earlier today, as did Eddy Thorpe and Ricky Saints (all separately of course).

* And we’re kicking off with the Women’s US Title match!

WWE Women’s United States Championship Match

Lockup to start, Chelsea takes over and starts to work over Sol’s arm.

Sol into the ropes and she knocks Green over, Sol lands on her feet from a hiptoss, X-Factor gets a two count.

Sol with a wristlock behind the back but Chesea puts her in the corner and kicks away at her. Ruca sent across the ring, Sol monkey flips her but Sol ends up on her feet and hits a spinning front suplex and surfs on Chelsea’s back! Kick to the face, she charges but gets pit on the apron and Alba distracts the ref as Piper grabs Sol’s leg to distract her. That allows Green to recover and she clips Sol’s leg off the ropes as we go to break.

We’re back as Chelsea dodges a charge by Sol in the corner and snaps Sol’s leg over her shoulder. But Ruca shoves Green back and goes up for a missile dropkick.

Winner: Chelsea Green (9:49)
Rating: ** 1/2
Thoughts: Not Ruca’s best match by a long shot, the springboard was clearly felt like a botch since they repeated the spot. But it was still solid on the whole and at least the rough parts played into the overall storyline.

* Je’Von walks up to Trick and says he sees what Trick is talking about. He talks about being jumped by NXTribution and says no one is safe. Trick says there is no “we,” he’s getting back to Oba and his title. He says Je’Von will never be him, he isn’t champ and never will be.

* Stephane Vaquer WALKS backstage.

* The D’Angelo Family gets pumped up backstage and Tony comes up to ask if they’re ready. Stacks says yes but Tony should stay in the back to protect himself in case Spears tries to take him out. Tony says now Stacks is thinking like the Underboss. He’s cool with it if the fam are, and they are.

* STEPHANIE VAQUER is here! The champ champ makes her way down to the ring and gets a mic. Vaquer takes a moment to soak in the “STEPHANIE” chants and says she needs to be honest: this is difficult for her because English isn’t her first language. But wrestling is. She had the chance to go to any promotion, any brand but she picked NXT because she wanted to make history in the best women’s division on the planet. Last week in New York against one of the best, she proved why she is La Primera. Holding the two titles makes her the best of the best and now she’s waiting for her first opponent to step in the ring, look her in the eyes —

JORDYNNE IS HERE! Jordynne congratulates Vaquer and says she can’t give her enough credit for being a trailblazer, but she’s not the only one who accomplished something. She beat Roxy, and that puts her — JAIDA PARKER ATTACKS JORDYNNE! Jaida says it don’t work like that because the line starts behind her. She says she’s not waiting until Stand & Deliver to make her point because she’s taking her own shots.

Jaida says she’s proud of Vaquer but do herself a favor. Bask in the glory, because this isn’t going to last longer. She says she’s standing 10 toes down looking Vaquer dead in the eyes, so be careful what she asks for because Jaida is here. They stare off.

* The D’Angelo Family WALKS backstage.

* Eddy Thorpe walks into the locker room and sees Ridge, asking if he’s gonna take off soon. He says they have a lot in common: no matter what they do or how they try, they’ll never be accepted.

Ridge says he’s taking care of his sports entertainer tonight and Eddy should as well.

Winner: The Culling (10:29)
Rating: ** 3/4
Thoughts: Perfectly fine match between these two teams. The finish worked fine for what it was and protects The Family a bit, which I’m okay with especially since The Culling needed the win.

* Ava tells Steph that she’s defending the Women’s NA Title against Jaida next week. Fallon walks in and wants her rematch. Vaquer says give her the match. Fallon wants the rematch next week and wants it after Jaida. Vaquer’s good with it so Ava says it’s done. Fallon leaves and Ava says it’s a big night for Stephanie next week.

* Jaida says her title match is set for next week and it’s Stand * Deliver season. No one’s getting in her way of coming into NXT Stand & Deliver as champion. Also, Karmen wasn’t happy with Ashante in the background.
