NXT Live Results (05/13/2025)

WWE NXT tonight continues on the road to its next PLE, which is Battleground on May 25.

Joe Hendry and Trick Williams are set to clash for the TNA World Championship at Battleground. Both champion and challenger meet tonight on NXT for a contract signing.

Henry and Williams are also scheduled to compete in a tag match at TNA Under Siege on May 23 where Hendry & Elijah (the former Elias) take on Williams & Frankie Kazarian.

Myles Borne of No Quarter Catch Crew is the next challenger for NXT Champion Oba Femi. Tonight, Femi will face No Quarter Catch Crew’s Charlie Dempsey in non-title action.

Plus, Tony D’Angelo vs. Wes Lee is official for tonight.

Opening the show is Myles Borne and No Quarter Catch Crew. Borne enters the sound stage at the Performance Center for an in-ring promo. Borne is flanked by Charlie Dempsey, Tavion Heights and Wren Sinclair.

Borne is morphing from a development wrestler into a superstar before our very eyes. Borne first talks about shocking the world by winning the battle royal last week, thus earning a title shot at the NXT Championship.

Borne shifts his monologue to address something “we have been dancing around for awhile now.” Borne says he is partially deaf, which affects the way he talks. Last week, Borne heard the crowd so crazy when he won the battle royal. Borne does not “want be to known as the deaf kid.” He wants to be judges for his “ability, not his disability.”

“That is what everyone with a disability wants to be judged by,” says Borne.

Borne goes on to admit he is the underdog at Battleground against Oba Femi for the NXT title.

“I am facing a dominant champion, but I am fighting for all the kids out there who are struggling, fighting their own fight,” says Borne. “To prove that you too can achieve success.”

Borne vows to shock the world again at Battleground against Femi. Borne says he might be hard of hearing, but he will hear is name announced as the new NXT champion.

Ethan Page interrupts the promo, since no monologue in NXT can hardly go uninterrupted. Page says “enough with all the sentimental crap” as Page also accuses Borne of “pandering to these basic civilians.”

Page gets in the ring saying Borne won the battle royal on a fluke. Page then offers to talk slow so Borne can read his lips, while Page tells Borne he cannot beat Femi. Page says he is not on Femi’s level. Page then challenges Borne to put the number one contender status on the line in match tonight.

Charlie Dempsey chimes in as he tries convincing Borne to accept the challenge from Page, and Borne agrees to the match. Out comes NXT General Manager Ava, who makes the match official for tonight. She says that match is scheduled for later, as Dempsey’s match against Femi is scheduled for right now.

NXT Champion Oba Femi defeated Charlie Dempsey (with No Quarter Catch Crew) in a non-title match

Femi pinned Dempsey with Fall From Grace. The match itself begins just before the show cuts to its first commercial break. They wrestle through picture-in-picture.

Dempsey is getting ragdolled until he targets an arm. He works Femi’s arm, and Dempsey gets a near fall after a German suplex. Dempsey then applies a short arm scissors, but Femi powers out with a feat of strength.

Comeback by Femi as he mows down Dempsey with a series of uppercuts. Femi tosses Dempsey around the ring before delivering the Fall From Grace (pop-up powerbomb). Femi then covers Dempsey for a pinfall.

Karmen Pertrovic and Thea Heal are talking backstage when they come across a distraught Tatum Paxley. She is freaking out about Gigi Dolan leaving her, although her name is even mentioned. Paxley warns the new friends they will only be betrayed.

Ethan Page is confronted backstage by NXT North American Champion Ricky Saints. Page is warming up for his match later on, and Saints remarks that Page loves “raining on people’s parade.” Page admits to getting pleasure in stealing people’s moment. Page then insults Saints before leaving.

Wes Lee (with Tyson Dupont & Tyriek Igwe) defeated Tony D’Angelo

Lee pinned D’Angelo, after “The Don” was distracted by a pre-taped video from Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo.

The match goes through a commercial break. Just before cutting away to picture-in-picture, Lee takes a hip toss over the ropes into the waiting arms of Dupont and Igwe. “The Don” then jumps off the apron with a high cross on all three.

Few rest holds during the break, as Lee sails through the ropes with a tope suicida. Lee gets in D’Angelo’s face to taunt him about Stacks. Lee screams that D’Angelo will lose The Family. That fires up D’Angelo.

On the floor, they do a spot where “The Don” clotheslines Dupont & Igwe. Lee tries to steal a pin, but “The Don” kicks out. Lee bumps and feeds for D’Angelo. Near falls for D’Angelo after a powerslam.

Lee counters D’Angelo finisher with a hurricanrana. D’Angelo then counters Lee’s finisher, as “The Don” blocks a Cardiac Kick with a spear. Lee was almost dumped on his head. At that point, Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo appears on a video screen.

Stacks is at Adrianna Rizzo’s safe house. A distracted D’Angelo is then hit with a Cardiac Kick from Lee, and Lee hooks a leg while covering D’Angelo for a three count.

As Lee is announced as the winner of the match, the pre-tape with Stacks continues to play on the video screen. Stacks vows to pay Rizzo a visit. D’Angelo rushes out of the ring and exits the sound stage.

For the second consecutive week, OTM is featured in a vignette sponsored by an insurance company.

NXT Women’s Champion Stephanie Vaquer is headed to the ring. Vaquer is cutting a promo in English and Spanish when she is interrupted by two members of Fatal Influence — Fallon Henley and Jacy Jayne.

Henley cuts a promo on Vaquer, and Jayne chimes in with a snide remark. Tension between Jayne and Henley as they bicker.

Out comes Jordynne Grace, and she gets in the ring to confront everyone else. There is some bickering and quick promos. Not sure what this accomplished as it just ended, but it somehow sets up a tag match for tonight’s main event.

Charlie Dempsey is backstage on rubber legs. Myles Borne tells Tavion Heights and Wren Sinclair they should take Dempsey to the trainers’ room. Borne then says he will go “take care of business.”

Cameos from LFG as Undertaker is backstage with Bubba Ray Dudley. They are with Tyra Mae Steele and Zena Sterling from LFG. This leads to a confrontation with Izzi Dame, Nikkita Lyons, Lola Vice and Lash Legend.

Tony D’Angelo orders a camera operator to follow him as they get into a SUV. They speed off, presumably heading to save Rizzo.

Myles Borne defeated Ethan Page in a number one contender’s match

Borne pinned Page clean to retain his status as number one contender.

They wrestle a methodical match through a commercial break, and they are given plenty of time. Borne not only looks similar to Randy Orton, they have the most Randy Orton kind of match they can have without Randy Orton himself.

As they go home, Page counters a Olympic slam (which they established earlier in the match as one of Borne’s big moves). Borne in turn counters Page’s finisher, and Borne delivers a standing dropkick. Borne then flips over to cradle Page’s leg for the deciding pinfall.

In a promo posted to social media, Sean Legacy politely challenges Je’Von Evans to a singles match.

Evans and Ashante “Thee” Adonis then have words in a locker room skit. Ricky Saints overhears Adonis say he can “smoke” Evans, and Saints offers to grant the winner a North American title match at Battleground. That match between Evans and Adonis is later made official for next Tuesday.

Tony D’Angelo arrives at the safe house, and he gets out of the SUV along with the camera operator. “The Don” tells the driver to go get the rest of the boys. D’Angelo is approaching the house when he is jumped by Stacks. “The Don” is hit in the legs with a crowbar, and Stacks pummels him. Stacks vows to finish the D’Angelo family for good at Battleground.

Thea Hail defeated Tatum Paxley via disqualification

Paxley is disqualified for a blatant eye poke. Hail had Paxley locked in an armbar when Paxley goes for an eye poke. The referee stops the match, but a crazed Paxley keeps going for the eye. Paxley is pulled off of Hail by a group of referees.

Kelani Jordan and Zaria argue in a locker room skit, which sets up a return match between them for next Tuesday. Sol Ruca offers the winner a shot at the NXT Women’s North American Championship in a title match at Battleground.

TNA Champion Joe Hendry and Trick Williams meet with Ava in a conference room for a contract signing which is very tame for a contract signing gimmick in WWE. Ava first puts over the history and importance of the TNA Championship.

They exchange words and both stand up, presumably to fight. Ava threatens to call security if they do not sit down. They sit, and they proceed to cut promos on each other.

Hendry cuts a heckuva promo putting over TNA, while Trick proclaims himself “Hollywood”. Trick vows to the Hendry’s fame, his TNA title and his brand. Trick then signs the contract. Hendry cuts a final promo on Trick, and Hendry signs the contract.

Josh Briggs and Shawn Spears set up a singles match between them in a locker room skit. Briggs is talking with NXT Tag Team Champions Hank & Tank when Briggs is confronted by Spears.

In another skit, Chase U’s Kale Dixon and Uriah Connors convince Ava they need booked in a tag match. Ava agrees, and she books them in their NXT debut tag match against OTM.

Along with the matches set up for next Tuesday is a live concert from Joe Hendry, along with a rap performance by Trick Williams.

NXT Women’s Champion Stephanie Vaquer & Jordynne Grace defeated Fatal Influence (Fallon Henley & Jacy Jayne)

Grace pinned Jayne after Beast Mode. Good match, but somewhat anticlimactic for a main event.

Before the final commercial break of the show, the heels are in control after a few high spots. Jayne does a somersault senton off the apron. Henley follows up with a springboard off the middle rope into a high cross on the floor.

The heels work over Vaquer throughout the break, building heat as the show returns from picture-in-picture. Hot tag to Grace, and cleans house. They build to a spot where Grace takes a bullet for Vaquer, when the heels go for a high/low combo on the champ. Grace takes stereo knee strikes, but she kicks out for a near fall.

Vaquer is down as she sells on the floor. Meanwhile, Grace is being double-teamed in the ring. Grace make her own save, and Grace fights off both heels. Beast Mode finisher on Jayne, and Grace covers her for a pinfall.

Cut away to backstage where Ethan Page has apparently ambushed Ricky Saints. Cut back to the sound stage as Grace and Vaquer pose.

Next week is the go-home show ahead of Battlegroun
