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’re just days away from Stand & Deliver with a few big matches set to be finalized tonight. Tonight’s show will see Ethan Page, Eddy Thorpe, Wes Lee, and Lexis King compete to determine Ricky Saints’ opponent for the North American Championship on Saturday while a tag team gauntlet match will grant the winner a shot at Fraxiom for the NXT Tag Team Championships. Plus we’ll have the final two qualifiers for the NXT Women’s North American Championship Ladder Match, and DarkState will battle The D’Angelo Family in a parking lot fight. That’s a lot of potential for a strong go-home show, and hopefully we’ll have a lot of fun tonight.

I was back on my movie watching push over the past week, with a few new 2025 watches under my belt. I watched the pretty great documentary Becoming Led Zeppelin about the band’s early days, which featured plenty of early performance footage and plenty of interview footage, as well as the surprisingly fun kid’s animated horror flick Night of the Zoopocalypse. In lesser action news, I found the Prime Video flick G20 silly but watchable thanks to Viola Davis in the lead role while A Working Man was no The Beekeeper thanks to hilariously incompetent bad guys. I also watched Last Breath, based on the true story of a diving rescue, which was well-made but which I didn’t really connect with.

In older watches, I was disappointed by the 1966 Hammer flick The Reptile which was too dull for my tastes. The Mind of a Monster documentary on The Green River Killer from 2020 was a perfectly serviceable acount of the hunt for Gary Ridgway, but nothing that is must-watch. I also did a rewatch of Underworld: Evolution, which I unabashedly enjoy for its ridiculousness. And finally I rewatched The Thing for my Final Ghouls of Horror podcast and then watched The Thing from Another World, the 1951 film based on the same story.

Speaking of The Final Ghouls of Horror, you can see check out the latest episode below in which Holly and L introduced me to Are You Afraid of the Dark?. Subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts, including YouTube.

On the TV side, I kept up on Daredevil: Born Again and watched the season finale of Yellowjackets, both of which were damned good this week. I also finally started watching The White Lotus starting with all of season one. It’s certainly a good show and the first season ends well, despite (or perhaps because) I hated how it closed out.

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.

* TUDUM.

* We’re LIVE in Orlando at the Capitol Wrestling Center and kicking off with the NA Title #1 Contenders Match — with Ricky Saints coming out to watch!

NXT North American Championship #1 Contenders Match
Eddy Thorpe vs. Wes Lee vs. Ethan Page vs. Lexis King

We get a brawl to start! King with a kick to Thorpe and Lee goes up and over him, but King trips Lee and walks over him to showboat. Page and Thorpe and Lee surround King and take turns beating on him with kicks before tossing him. Page with a shot to Lee, but Thorpe batters Page with kicks and hits a snap German suplex. Kicks to Page and Lee in the corner, he knocks down King and covers for two but Page breaks it up.

Lee goes over Page but Thorpe stops him so he kicks the hell out of Thorpe and hits a leaping double stomp. Axe kick to Page in the corner, he charges at King but gets trapped, Thorpe flattens him, Page ends up in the corner but Kick escapes and charges — everyone dodges and King to the outside! Thorpe gets dumped by Page, who puts Lee on the apron and hits a lungblower through the ropes for two.

King up top but Page cuts him off and climbs. They battle and Thorpe is over, he goes up and he and Page go for a double superplex. Lee is over, he grabs them all — stack superplex/bomb and all four men are down!

King to the outside now, Lee is up and hits a standing SSP on Page for two, Thorpe breaks it up. Eddy and Wes trade strikes in the center of the ring, kick to Lee’s chest — Page goes for a German but Eddy breaks free. Lee kicks Eddy, who goes up and over. Page is sent to the outside — and Lee dives on Lexis!

Eddy to the outside, he goes for a kick at Page who moves and Saints is almost kicked! Saints tosses Thorpe and gets in Page’s face — and Saints has been ejected from the ringside area as we go to break!

We’re back and King nails Lee, but Page knocks King down and then bodyslams Lee onto King. He tosses King into Eddy who was trying to come in the ring, goes for Ego’s Edge but King counters into the Coronation, countered into a Boston Crab by Page! King tries to get to the ropes, Lee goes for a clothesline but Page ducks. Thorpe yanks Lee out of the ring and goes for a crossface — and Lee is in for an armbar!

He goes up and knocks Thorpe to the apron, Page grabs King and puts him on his shoulders while grabbing Thorpe — LEE UP TOP FOR WHISPER OF THE WIND! All men are down! Double cover by Lee and Page but both are nearfalls.

Page and Lee up and facing off — they tee off against each other. Lee takes over but gets decked and comes back with an enzuigiri. Lee up top but King shoves him to the floor! King with a swanton, cover but Thorpe brekas it up with a top-rope elbowdrop. He goes for a DDT but a Meteora by Lee, Coronation by King — Twisted Grin by Page! And that gets it.

Winner: Ethan Page (12:20)
Rating: *** 1/2
Thoughts: Well this was delightfully fun. Chaotic in the right way, a lot of fun spots. Page winning was the obvious choice but I enjoyed the journey to get there.

Page gets on the mic and says that makes him the man now. He says Ricky didn’t want him to be the winner because everyone remembers the first and Page ruined Saints’ first title win. Saints comes through the crowd behind Page and spears him! He poses over Page with the title.

* We get a video package on Jordynne Grace ahead of Stand & Deliver that runs through her career from the start and how she had “negative aura” at the start. She says she was trying to find her way in a world that didn’t fit her. But she had self-awareness and built who she would become. She fell in love with getting stronger and become focused on building her body like an A-bomb. She was obsessed with it and it was the only way for her. She wanted the WWE Universe to say “WWE women are killing it but have you seen Jordynne in TNA?” She forced her way into the conversation and made people believe in her, and she has her biggest opportunity at Stand & Deliver. She knows what she has to do.

* Sol Ruca and Zaria are talking about the NXT Women’s NA Title match at Stand & Deliver, but Kelani says she’s going to show up and prove no one can do it like Lani. Izzi Dame says she misses old Kelani and says it doesn’t matter because she’ll bring another championship to The Culling.

Women’s North American Championship Ladder Match Qualifier
Tatum Paxley vs. Lola Vice

Lockup to start, Tatum with a rollup for one. Waistlock by Tatum, Lola reverses it and puts Tatum on the mat. Tatum manages to break free, flips over Lola and rolls her up for two — but Lola right into the crossface! Tatum backs her into a two-count and hits a kick, then applies a wristlock. Elbow to the wrist, she puts Lola on the mat and flips over into an armbar! Lola gets free and goes for a triangle but Tatum puts her shoulders on the mat for two again.

Lola with a quick shot to the gut and a headlock throw takedown. Tatum up to her knees and then feet, she shots Lola off and Lola ducks an elbow, sleeper but she’s pushed into the ropes — Lola plants Tatum! Tatum out of the ring and climbs under the ring?

We’re back with Tatum ducking a boot and hitting a couple forearms. Neckbreaker by Paxley, then s horizontal splash in the corner, Irish whip and another splash! Third attempt, Lola gets the knees up. Kick to the spin of Paxley and repeated kicks to her! Hip smash in the corner, Lola pulls Paxley out of the corner for a nearfall.

Tatum goes for the Psycho Blade but Lola countsers into a sleeper — Tatum flips through for a bridge cover for two-plus! Tatum springboards into the ring — Lola nails her with a kick! Spinning backfist finishes it.

Winner: Lola Vice (9:56)
Rating: ***
Thoughts: There were a couple brief moments of sloppiness but these two worked great against each other and Tatum was surprisingly (to me) competitive. Good little match.

* We get Giulia’s vignette in which she talks about seeing Vaquer back in the glory of being double champion and waited for a rematch, but never got one. She said friendships only go so far when it comes to the Women’s Title and she reminded Vaquer what Beautiful Madness is last week. She doesn’t know much about Jaida but she’s confident and likes to dish out punishment but not take it. Jordynne is strong, but she’ll introduce Jordynne to Strong Style. Jordynne and Jaida are obstacles to Vaquer and her goal was to win the title; losing it just made her more dangerous. Last year she introduced herself at S&D; this year she leaves as NXT Women’s Champion.

* Trick Williams arrives and seems to survive the parking lot.

* There’s a big argument backstage and Gigi and Tatum walks up and asks about another Stand & Deliver opportunity. Ava says there will be a triple threat women’s tag team match and the winner gets a Women’s Tag Title match next week. Roxy is pissed because she’s off the card and Ava takes a shot at her losing an Smackdown, but if Roxy gets a partner she’ll be in the match as a four-way.

NXT Tag Team Championship #1 Contenders Gauntlet Match

Our first competitors are Hank & Tank against Tyson DuPont & Tyriek Igwe. Tank starts with Tyson and they lockup, but break.

Tank put in the corner but Tank battles out, blind tag to Hank off the ropes and he runs over Tyriek. Tyson sent to the floor, pancake, they take out Igwe and cover for three!

He crawls toward Tank but Brooks distracts the ref — double team maneuver by The Culling and a cover gets two-plus.

Hank tries to get the tag but Niko blocks it, my feed goes wonky but it comes back with Tank getting the hot tag! He lays out Brooks with a German suplex and my feed went wonky AGAIN — it comes back and Brooks rolls up Tank for two. Tank on the second rope and comes off into a spinning heel kick, Niko tags in — double team maneuver but Tank reverses for three!

The NQCC controlled Hank & Tank through the break, We’re back with Borne knocking Hank down and beating on him. But Hank fights back and they trade blows — they both go down and make the tags! Heights takes over but Tank battles back into he gets sent into the ropes for a short-arm clothesline — Tank fires back with an elbow! Heightsd plants Tank and charges into a BIG lariat, cover but Hank breaks it up!

Tank gives Hank a pep talk but Briggs and Inamura chop Hank. Hank rolls up Briggs and Inamura goes to break it up but it’s too late!

Winner: Hank & Tank (20:46)
Rating: ** 1/2
Thoughts: After the second pinfall it was clear which way this was going. None of this was bad, and kudos to Hank and Tank for running that distance, but this lagged in a lot of moments. It’s a gauntlet match so it had to go as long as it did, but it was just largely there.

* Sophie Turner is with Cali Armstrong and says she’ll be in the man event of WWE EVOLVE next week. Stone hypes up Hank & Tank and Ava says there’s a surprise entrant for the final qualifier.

* Oba Femi has arrived and seemingly survives the parking lo–OH WAIT DARKSTATE IS THERE. So it’s inconclusive if Oba survived.

* The NXT Spotlight is Jaida Parker’s vignette and she says people have made assumptions about her her whole life. She says her path to S&R started at Port St. Lucie where she laughed, cried and made a name for herself. She’s the only home-grown talent in the match and the whole world is intimidated by her. She is pressure, the kind that creates diamonds. She says her dad was a coach and wouldn’t let her play football, so she played soccer. She’s been in a woman’s locker room her whould life and women just try to cut you down. None of the women here want her to succeed before she does.

Jaida says her uncle was her best friend and support system and gets amotional about his passing, saying she decided she couldn’t trust anyone after. Life made her hard and she doesn’t need friends; she needs the moments that make or break you and nothing has broken her. At S&D she shows that Jaida don’t play.

The Street Fight is happening and it’s a heavily-edited mess to start. It spills into the backs area and is still kind of a mess. Lots of brawling, a fire extinguisher gets used, it goes back to the parking lot and Luca gets choke slammed onto the hood of a car. Then Tony shows up with a crowbar and beats on DarkState with it until the cops show up. Tony said he called them and it was his people. He asks what Stacks was doing going over his head, he said he had a plan. Tony says he was doing business and it’s not being done on the street. It’s happening at Stand & Deliver because that’s what they do. He knows what’s best for the family and tells Stacks not to question him again. Stacks says “understood.” They hug afterword.

Yeah, that was awful.

* Stephanie Vaquer is in CHile and promoting her Stand & Deliver match, noting that she’s happy to rep her country at Stand & Deliver and talking about the first double women’s champion in NXT history. She is honored by her home town and talks about how her dad got worried when she said she wanted to wrestle, and how he never got to see her matches but she has a big surprise because she has replicas of her titles that she gives him.

She feels blessed to be in Chile to thank her people for their support, and vows to continue repping Chile with pride and courage.

* Hank & Tank are with Kelly Kincaid. Hank says they’ve had tons of advice from tag teams and some was good, some not so good but they stayed true to themselves. Tank says they didn’t change who they are and stayed true to themselves in the ring.

Fraxiom walk in and Axiom says they found who they are and are looking forward to it. Frazer said he knew they could do it, and that they ran their gauntlet for nothing. Hank & Tank offer handshakes, and Frazer walks off.

* Roxy says even Hank & Tank go to Stand & Deliver and she doesn’t. Ava asks if she found a tag team partner and she said she’s going to be her own partner. Ava says that’s not how it works. Cora walks in and asks if Roxy needs her match enough to say she’s sorry.

* The announcers run down the Stand & Deliver card:

Women’s North American Championship Ladder Match Qualifier
Karmen Petrovic vs. Thea Hail

Thea gets a big “Welcome Back” chant. Lock up, Thea with a roll-up and then another. Thea into the ropes, armdrag to Karmen and another. Splash in the corner and a suplex throw, sending Karmen to the outside! Thea with a dive but Karmen kicks her.

She takes aim and hits a twisting double underhook! Kimura Lock finishes it!

Winner: Thea Hail (2:42)
Rating: N/A
Thoughts: RIP Karmen AND WELCOME BACK THEA!

* Trick Williams is out here for the main event segment! He gets a mic and plays to the crowd briefly. He says he’s been doing a lot of thinking lately about who he is after Je’Von said he was Carmelo Hayes. He gets it now; you die the hero or live long enough to become the villain. But he’s still alive. Heavy is the head that wears the crown and Oba’s head may be heavy, but he’s coming to get it and Je’Von gets a “better luck next year.”

HERE’S OBA! He says Mr. Williams talks like he’s still the man around here but he’s not. He’s a broken record playing the same hits over and over but no one is playing along anymore. That doesn’t work because the crowd chants “WHOOP THAT TRICK!” Oba says the spotlight is moving on and he better get ready to follow, because after he beats Trick he’s moving on from him.

Trick says they still chant “Whoop That Trick” around this worked. He asks if Oba is still calling himself the Ruler and that it takes more than a few Black Panther chants to do that. He says he’s gonna help everyone out–

And here’s Je’Von! Evans asks Trick to please, PLEASE shut his ass up. He could be tripping, but he was right about Trick. Trick comes here week after week after week after week after week about a match he deserves, and they’re tired about it. If he’s going to talk, talk about something else.

Evans says Trick is dismissed and it’s time to talk about the Ruler. He’s not going to lie, real recognizes real and Oba’s been glue to a title since he got to NXT. He’s not trying to be a smartass but the first two times he dropped Oba, he was hyped about it because he dropped an NXT Champion. How many times are we going to hear “Oba Femi’s going to headline wrestleMania” and its not if he gets drafted, it’s when.

Je’Von says Oba is going to be great, but he walks around the PC like it revolves around him. But he’ll be dead ass with Oba; he wasn’t supposed to make it to WWE but he did. And Oba thinks he’s the favorite, but that’s the way Je’Von likes it.

Oba calls Je’Von the young OG and this is what 20 years looks like. Je’Von has a phenomenal rookie year and he knows what that’s like. Je’Von is the future but he’s the present and it does revolve around him because he has the title. Je’Von can’t handle it because he’s a child!

Trick says he’s going to help them out; it’s about how he’s going to get the title. Evans says it’s about how they can’t touch him in the ring. Trick and Oba shove Evans out of the ring and start brawling! Evans back in and he gets tossed again, back to the brawling — and Evans with a springboard cutter to BOTH of them! He holds the title over the downed Oba and Trick.

And with that, we’re done for the night!
