Tonight, the superstars of the World Wrestling Federation’s NXT Generation were at the WWF Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, for a new episode of NXT on The CW!
Tonight’s show saw a tag team title defense, though not the one announced, a couple of women’s matches, some new invitees to the John Cena Classic, and ending with multiple factions brawling.
Let’s dive into the results from tonight’s NXT!
WWF NXT 11/10/26 Quick Results
- EK Prosper beat Kam Hendrix via pinfall in about 10:00
- Izzi Dame defeated Wren Sinclair via pinfall in 10:30

- The Vanity Project defeated Hank and Tank via pinfall in about 11:00
Grayson Waller Wants Someone to Step Up
NXT opened with highlights of last week’s show, followed by the crowd going wild for CM Punk’s music. It wasn’t Punk of course, but rather NXT Grayson Waller. Waller talked about the people he’s beaten, including Punk last week, and announced that he’s the Best in the World now. Waller said he wanted some to step up and give him a real challenge.
This brought out Shiloh Hill, who said that it pissed him when Waller called the men’s division soft and lazy, citing that he cracked his skull in two places that night and still showed up the next day. Waller gave props for Shiloh for saying all of that to his face, and that Shiloh wasn’t like the others in the back. Then Waller told him that he’s not ready yet, and left.
Mason Rook returned and attacked Waller and threw him back in the ring where Hill punched him. Rook then slammed Waller in the corner.
Stinger’s View: A strong opening segment. I don’t care about Mason Rook, but Waller and Shiloh Hill would be a fun program. A good way to open the show.
Backstage, John Cena talked with Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno. Cena gave them briefcases and said the contents included an invite to the John Cena Classic and a book that explains everything. So Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno join Zilla Fatu as NXT participants in the John Cena Classic.
EK Prosper Defeats Kam Hendrix
The match started with some trash talk before the two exchanged holds, with Hendrix taking control and working over EK Prosper. Prosper fought back with a series of kicks and a dropkick that sent Hendrix to the outside, followed by a Blockbuster back in the ring for a two count. Hendrix regained control with a big clothesline and a vertical drop, but Prosper avoided a suplex and caught him with a springboard moonsault to the floor.
Following the commercial break, Hendrix continued his assault with a chokeslam into the corner and a one-armed powerbomb for another near fall. Prosper rallied with a satellite DDT, several clotheslines, and a moonsault into a Showtime Kick, but couldn’t put Hendrix away. Hendrix answered with a Death Valley Driver for two before attempting a powerbomb, which Prosper escaped. Hendrix then missed a charge into the corner and went face-first into the ring post, allowing Prosper to climb to the top rope and connect with a moonsault for the victory.
Winner: EK Prosper via pinfall in about 10:00.
Stinger’s View: A pretty good opening match. Not surprised with EK getting the win. They had Hendrix flip out afterwards by clearing the broadcast table and tossing chairs into the ring.
There was some video segment involving Tony D and Myles Borne at a bridge, but I wasn’t in the room and didn’t hear what they were saying.
Vanity Project also attacked Dar and Moreno backstage with trash cans.
Izzie Dame defeats Wren Sinclair
Wren Sinclair took the fight to Izzi Dame early, sending her to the outside before following up with a dropkick off the apron. Sinclair made it clear that she wasn’t the same Wren anymore, but Dame eventually fought her way back into the match.
Late in the contest, Sinclair escaped a powerbomb attempt and caught Dame with an inside cradle for a two count. Sinclair then applied her submission hold, but Dame managed to roll out of it. Sinclair continued pressing the attack, sending Dame into the corner and scoring another near fall with a rollup. She attempted an Alabama Slam, but Dame broke free and connected with a knee strike to pick up the victory.
Winner: Izzi Dame via pinfall in around 10:00.
Stinger’s View: A good match between these two, as expected. I was hoping Wren would pick up the win, but I’m fine with Izzi getting it. After the match, Zaria came out and hit a spear and F5 on Izzi.
Backstage, John Cena talked with Kelani Jordan (earlier in the day) who was way out of her normal character. He gave her a briefcase and welcomed her to the John Cena Classic.
Kelani Jordan Gets a New Challenger
NXT Women’s Champion Kelani Jordan came to the ring to celebrate her victory over Paige last week, boasting that nobody should be surprised she won. Jordan also talked about being selected for the John Cena Classic and said she planned to take some well-earned time off until then.
That brought out a returning Kendal Grey, who received a warm welcome from the crowd before reminding Jordan that she never received her championship rematch. NXT General Manager Robert Stone eventually came out and acknowledged that Grey was owed a rematch, having missed her opportunity due to injury.
Stone then made it official, announcing that Jordan will defend the NXT Women’s Championship against Kendal Grey next week.
Stinger’s View: A good promo from Kelani. I think the match will be excellent, but I’m not sure why we’re immediately jumping right to it next week. It’s the kind of match that should be on the next NXT PLE, not hot-shotted next week. But it’ll be great, so I can’t complain about it.
Backstage, Robert Stone was outside the trainer’s room where Dar and Moreno were being attended to. The doctor came out and told him that Dar and Moreno wouldn’t be cleared to wrestle tonight for the tag team titles. Vanity Project showed up and laughed about it, but Stone told them they would still be defending the titles tonight.
Lizzy Rain Defeats Chantel Monroe
Chantel Monroe started the match with a quick rollup attempt and a slap, but Lizzy Rain chased her to the outside and drove her back and face into the ring apron. Rain continued the attack with clotheslines and chops before Monroe turned things around by knocking her off the turnbuckle and hitting a handstand into double knees for a two count.
Rain fought back with a fisherman buster and attempted a submission, but Monroe escaped to the outside. Following the commercial break, Rain connected with a missile dropkick and the two exchanged strikes before Rain hit a suplex and a spinebuster. Rain locked in the Liontamer, but Monroe managed to reach the ropes. Monroe answered with a cradle, a superkick, and a Koji Clutch, but couldn’t put Rain away.
Monroe later attempted another pin while holding the ropes, but the referee caught her at two and refused to count. Rain then connected with the Thunderstruck Kick to pick up the victory.
Winner: Lizzy Rain via pinfall in about 9:00.
Stinger’s View: Wait just a minute, ladies and gentlemen. As the top reporter at THE worldwide leader in pro wrestling coverage, I can’t just sit back and allow this sort of injustice to slip by without protest and reviewing the facts. The referee should have been keeping an eye on Lizzy’s shoulders to make sure they didn’t come off the mat, not looking to see what the lovely Chantel may have been grabbing. I believe the wrestling ring predates the birth of Chantel Monroe; therefore, she didn’t invent the concept of the ring having ropes, and so it’s not her fault they are there. I believe she grabbed them for a fraction of a second just to maintain her balance. This is bogus officiating. Up until this point, the match was fantastic, of course. Lizzy looked good, but obviously not on the level of Chantel. Someone check the official’s Kalshi account. I believe he may be betting on the outcomes.
Backstage, Kam Hendrix was interviewed in the locker room, talked a little trash about Tony D, then attacked Tony.
NXT Tag Team Championship: The Vanity Project (c) Defeat Hank & Tank
The Vanity Project’s Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes defended the NXT Tag Team Championship against Hank Walker and Tank Ledger, who took control early by sending the champions to the outside. Hank and Tank worked together to keep Smokes and Baylor on the defensive, but the champions eventually isolated Hank and took control. Tank later got the hot tag and cleaned house, hitting a Black Hole Slam on Baylor for a two count.
Both teams exchanged double-team moves, with Hank and Tank breaking out of simultaneous sleeper holds before Tank connected with a cartwheel clothesline and a Swanton Bomb on Baylor for another near fall. Just as the challengers appeared to be closing in on victory, Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno arrived with a group of people, creating a distraction that allowed Myka Lockwood to interfere on behalf of The Vanity Project. The champions took advantage of the interference to steal the victory and retain their titles.
Brad Baylor & Ricky Smokes defeated Hank and Tank to retain the titles in about 8:00.
Stinger’s View: I’m not a fan of the bait and switch. Unless we’re going to get a Triple Threat Tag Team match for the titles at some point, it’s seems like a waste to toss Hank and Tank in there as replacements to just have them lose thanks to outside interference. For what it was, the match was ok.
Chantel Monroe Confronts Thea Hail and Layla Diggs
Backstage, Thea Hail showed Layla Diggs a bald spot on the side of her head and admitted that she wasn’t comfortable sharing her struggles with everyone. Diggs was sympathetic, but Chantel Monroe interrupted the conversation and took a shot at Hail, saying that she could lose every day of the week and it still wouldn’t be as bad as Hail’s bald spot. An upset Hail declared that she’d had enough and started to leave, while Diggs tried to stop her.
Stinger’s View: For someone who isn’t comfortable sharing her struggles with everyone in the locker room, she is doing it in front of the world on TV and social media. It may seem like Chantel was being rude and nasty towards Thea Hail, but the volume was cutting out, and I couldn’t hear it. It upset Thea, but from reading her lips, it looked more like Chantel was offering words of encouragement and something about how they needed to stick together. People are out to make Chantel look bad, and I won’t stand for such slander, nor will I print it in such a respectable establishment as this one. (In all seriousness, I feel for Thea Hail in her very real struggles with alopecia.)
Zilla Fatu Confronted by Three NXT Factions
Zilla Fatu came to the ring wearing a John Cena Classic jacket and talked about being invited to the tournament, but made it clear that he also had his sights set on the NXT Championship. Before he could call out Grayson Waller, the lights went out, and DarkState’s Dion Lennox, Osiris Griffin, and Cutler James appeared in the crowd.
Fatu mocked Lennox for losing to Cruz Montana, leading to a heated exchange before DarkState threatened to show him why they were still the most dangerous group in wrestling.
Before they could enter the ring, BirthRight’s Charlie Dempsey, Lexis King, Uriah Connors, Channing Lorenzo, and Arianna Grace arrived, with King declaring that BirthRight, not DarkState, was the top faction in NXT. Fatu suggested that he and Lennox could settle their differences in a singles match next week before calling out to Karmen Petrovic in the crowd.
That brought out Perros Del Mal’s Daga, Angel, and Berto, who joined Petrovic on the apron. With three factions surrounding the ring, Fatu wisely stepped outside and watched as DarkState, BirthRight, and Perros Del Mal erupted into a massive brawl that continued as NXT went off the air.
Stinger’s View: Well, that’s certainly a chaotic and fun way to end the show, but I’m not sure what we’re building towards with these three factions brawling like they’ve had issues for a while. What are we doing here? What did any of it have to do with Fatu? I guess I’m interested in seeing what comes next.
Overall, this was a fun episode of NXT. The matches were all entertaining, there was some fun character work, and we got some matches announced for next week (seriously, someone make Adam Pearce watch the show and take notes).
Until next time, this has been Stinger reporting from the rafters of Titanquisitor Hall where we’re launching a full investigation into the betting habits of a certain official who can’t keep his eyes off the lovely Chantel Monroe.
