Kendal Grey Championship Celebration
The new NXT Women’s Champion Kendal Grey opened the show with an emotional address following her title victory at The Great American Bash. Grey admitted public speaking still makes her nervous, reflecting on her struggles with self-doubt since arriving in NXT despite dominating amateur wrestling and WWE EVOLVE.
Grey said she finally proved to herself that she belongs as champion and vowed to elevate the women’s division by competing at her own pace rather than trying to fit anyone else’s image of what a champion should look like.
Wren Sinclair interrupted carrying a celebration cake, congratulating Grey on both women leaving The Great American Bash with championship gold. Their celebration was short-lived, however, as Kelani Jordan interrupted to complain about being overlooked for the NXT Women’s Championship.
Before things escalated, Tatum Paxley stormed in from the crowd and attacked Jordan, sending the two brawling backstage while Grey and Sinclair casually celebrated in the ring with cake.
Backstage Developments
Earlier in the night, Keanu Carver brutally attacked El Hijo del Vikingo backstage, forcing Robert Stone to cancel Vikingo’s scheduled AAA Latin American Championship defense.
Izzi Dame complained about Kendal Grey and Wren Sinclair both holding championships before Zaria mocked The Culling’s recent struggles.
Kelani Jordan later demanded justice from Robert Stone following Paxley’s attack. Stone instead booked Jordan against Paxley in the night’s main event before also announcing Keanu Carver would face EK Prosper later in the evening.
WWE NXT Tag Team Championship
The Vanity Project (c) vs. El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. & Galeno
AAA stars El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. and Galeno brought the fight to the champions early, thrilling the crowd with tandem offense and several close calls. Galeno’s strength repeatedly overwhelmed Ricky Smokes and Brad Baylor, while Wagner dazzled with his trademark aerial attacks.
Despite the challengers controlling much of the latter stages, outside interference from Jackson Drake shifted the momentum. Vanity Project capitalized with their Flying Double Foot Stomp/Side Russian Leg Sweep combination to escape with another successful title defense.

The NXT Champion revealed he had signed medical waivers simply to compete at The Great American Bash and insisted he’d gladly risk everything again to remain champion.
As D’Angelo made his way backstage, Kendal Grey greeted him with a fist bump—only for NARAKU to ambush D’Angelo from behind with a steel chair before planting him with Everything Is EVIL.

With Kendal Grey joining commentary, Kelani Jordan focused her attack on Paxley’s injured leg while repeatedly mocking her opponent.

The closing stretch saw both women trade counters before Jordan escaped Cemetery Drive, attacked Paxley’s injured leg again and delivered the Reverse Olympic Slam followed by a Split-Legged Moonsault to earn the victory.
After the match, Nikki Blackheart made a shocking appearance, attacking Paxley from behind before leaving her laid out with a Torture Rack as NXT went off the air.
