WWE NXT Preview For Tonight: Joe Hendry Concert, Trick Williams Rap, More

WWE NXT is set to deliver a high-stakes go-home edition on Tuesday, May 21, 2025, just days ahead of the NXT Battleground Premium Live Event this Sunday, May 25th.

The final episode before Battleground will feature a unique blend of music, rivalry, and in-ring action, with crossover star power on full display.

TNA World Champion Joe Hendry will headline the show with a special live concert performance. Hendry is set to defend his TNA World Championship against Trick Williams at Battleground in a groundbreaking inter-promotional clash. In response, Trick Williams will showcase his own mic skills with a live rap performance as the two stars continue their war of wordsโ€”and styles.

In the womenโ€™s division, Kelani Jordan is scheduled to face Zaria in a high-stakes singles match. If Jordan scores the victory, she will earn a shot at Sol Rucaโ€™s NXT Womenโ€™s North American Championship at Battleground. With championship implications, this match adds extra intrigue to the nightโ€™s lineup.

In tag team action, Chase Uโ€™s Uriah Connors & Kale Dixon will step up against the returning and dangerous duo OTM (Bronco Nima & Lucien Price). After calling out top competition to help get Chase U back on track, Connors and Dixon now face a huge challenge.

Also set for Tuesday is a hard-hitting singles clash between โ€œThe Chairmanโ€ Shawn Spears and Josh Briggs. The tension between the two ignited during a backstage altercation last week, when Spears took verbal jabs at Briggsโ€™ former tag team history. Expect a physical, personal encounter.
