WWE NXT Results (5/13/25): Live Match Updates and Highlights

The show opens up with a video recapping the events of last week’s 25-Man WWE NXT Championship #1 Contenders’ Battle Royal. Vic Joseph, WWE Hall of Famer Booker T and Corey Graves then welcome us to the show as No Quarter Catch Crew make their way down to the ring.

Myles Borne then grabs a mic. Borne says last week he shocked the world when he became the last man standing against some of the toughest men out there. Borne then says he’s partially deaf, but last week when he eliminated Ethan Page and Shawn Spears, he still heard the fans going crazy. Borne then says he wants to be known by his abilities rather than his disability and he will become the new NXT Champion.

Ethan Page’s music then hits and he makes his way out. Page says Borne won the 25 Man WWE NXT Championship #1 Contender’s Battle Royal on a fluke last week and Borne can’t beat Oba Femi for the NXT Championship. Page then challenges Borne to put his #1 Contendership on the line against him tonight and Charlie Dempsey encourages Page to accept the match. Borne then accepts the challenge, but Ava makes her way to the ring to make the match official. Ava then says the match will be scheduled for later and Dempsey’s match against Oba will happen now.

Oba Femi’s music then hits and he makes his way down to the ring for the first match of the night.

Non-Title Match: WWE NXT Champion “The Ruler Of NXT” Oba Femi vs. No Quarter Catch Crew’s Charlie Dempsey

The match starts off with Femi hitting a mat return on Dempsey. Femi then runs over Dempsey with a shoulder tackle, but Dempsey hits a kick on Femi’s thigh and both men continue going back and forth. Dempsey then rolls up Femi, but Femi kicks out and nails Dempsey with a boot.

Dempsey then wears down Femi with a Triangle hold, but Femi escapes and nails Dempsey with a back body drop. Dempsey then hits a German suplex on Femi, but Femi sends Dempsey crashing into the mat with a Sidewalk Slam and sends him crashing into the mat with a powerbomb for the win.

The winner of the Non-Title Match, WWE NXT Champion “The Ruler Of NXT” Oba Femi!

After the match, Femi stares Myles Borne down.

We then head to the back, where Karmen Petrovic is having a conversation with Thea Hail. They then stumble on Tatum Paxley throwing a fit. Paxley talks about losing her two best friends (the recently released Shotzi and Gigi Dolin). Paxley then says Karmen will soon leave Thea. Paxley then says she was just projecting Thea. Paxley then storms off.

Tony D’Angelo then makes his way down to the ring for the next match of the night.

An ad then aired for WWE EVOLVE.

We then head to the back, where WWE NXT North American Champion Ricky Saints confronts “All Ego” Ethan Page about trying to ruin the parade of Myles Borne. Page says he agrees that it’s a positive and he’s about to win the title shot to restore balance in NXT. Saints then says good luck with that.

Wes Lee then makes his way down to the ring for the next match of the night with Tyson DuPont and Tyriek Igwe.

Singles Match: Wes Lee vs. The D’Angelo Family’s “The Don Of NXT” Tony D’Angelo

The match starts off with both men wasting no time in going after each other and locking up. Both men then take turns locking in submission holds on one another, but D’Angelo delivers some right hands on Lee’s midsection. Igwe then looks to interfere, but D’Angelo fights him off and sends Lee crashing into Igwe and DuPont on the outside. DuPont and Igwe then catch Lee, but D’Angelo nails all three men with a crossbody off the apron.

Lee then flies out of the other side of the ring with a tope suicida to take down D’Angelo, then delivers some stomps on him and sends him back inside the ring. Lee then hits a splash off the top rope back inside the ring and goes for a pin, but D’Angelo kicks out. D’Angelo then sends Lee crashing into the mat, but Lee hits a Kardiak Kick on D’Angelo.

D’Angelo then avoids it, but becomes distracted when Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo appears on the big screen and declares that he is outside of Adriana Rizzo’s safe house. This then opens the door for Lee to hit the Kardiak Kick on D’Angelo for the win.

The winner of the Singles Match, Wes Lee!

After the match, Stacks says he will pay Rizzo a visit. Tony D’Angelo then heads to the back immediately.

We then see WWE NXT Women’s Champion “The Dark Angel” Stephanie Vaquer walking in the backstage area.

An O.T.M. vignette airs, where they both talk about their comeback.

WWE NXT Women’s Champion “The Dark Angel” Stephanie Vaquer then makes her way down to the ring. Vaquer then grabs a mic and says she has respect for Jordynne Grace and she wants to ascend to the top of NXT. Fatal Influence’s music then hits and Jacy Jayne and Fallon Henley make their way out. Henley says Vaquer has been on top since arriving in NXT and is truly one of a kind, but that will make her downfall more sweeter. Jayne then adds that since Vaquer pinned Henley to become the NXT Women’s North American Champion, Henley becomes slightly offended. Jayne then says her point is that NXT is Fatal Influence’s domain.

Jordynne Grace’s music then hits and she makes her way out. Grace says Henley and Jayne get in each other’s way and questions how they can work together to win the NXT Women’s Championship. Jayne then says she and Henley deserve to be on top of the women’s division of NXT, but Grace interrupts her and says she won’t fail again. Jayne then puts both women on notice and says Fatal Influence is coming for the NXT Women’s Championship.

We then see Tavion Heights and Wren Sinclair helping prop up a battered Charlie Dempsey. They all then hype Myles Borne up for his upcoming match.

We then see WWE Hall of Famers The Undertaker and Bubba Ray Dudley hyping up the finalist women from LFG. Bully then talks about how only one of the two women will get an NXT contract to wrestle in the best women’s division in the business. Izzi Dame and Nikkita Lyons then show up to talk smack to the rookies. Lash Legend and Lola Vice then show up to do the same. Undertaker then says the two rookies have their work cut out for them.

We then see Tony D’Angelo barge over to a van and tells the driver to head over to Rizzo’s safe house.

After the match, Borne stands tall and celebrates his win.

We then get a Sean Legacy Twitter promo, where he talks about all the hype he got after last week’s battle royal. Legacy then calls out Je’Von Evans for a match.

We then head to the back, where Je’Von Evans and Ashante “Thee” Adonis are having a conversation. Adonis says Evans is too big of a star to worry about an indie wrestler. Evans then says he won’t forget where he came from. Adonis then says he would smoke Evans and Legacy for real. Ricky Saints then cuts in and hypes them to go after his title.

Thea Hail then makes her way down to the ring for the next match of the night.

We then see Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo attack Tony D’Angelo with a crow bar outside of Adriana Rizzo’s safe house before telling him he will finish him once and for all at Battleground and put an end to The D’Angelo Family.

After the match, several officials run down to the ring to pry Paxley off of Hail.

We then head to the back, where Jaida Park revels at Thea Hail getting whooped. Kelani Jordan then storms into the locker room to confront Sol Ruca and ZARIA. ZARIA says Jordan can b***h all she wants, the result will all be the same. Jordan then says if she can beat ZARIA next week, she’ll face Sol Ruca for the title and Sol agrees. It seems that ZARIA didn’t like Sol randomly setting up that match.

Trick Williams, TNA World Champion Joe Hendry and NXT General Manager Ava are then shown meeting at a table backstage for the upcoming contract signing.

We then head to the back to NXT General Manager Ava’s office, where she is moderating the Joe Hendry vs. Trick Williams contract signing. Ava hypes up TNA lasting for 23 years. Ava also hypes up AJ Styles, Kurt Angle, LA Knight and Bully Ray as former TNA World Champions. Williams says he will take what’s important to Hendry, the TNA World Title. Williams then says Battleground is his house. Hendry then says he knows Williams does more to be more, but Williams has forgotten about that and has resorted to b***hing.

Both men then stands up, but Ava tells them to sit down because security is outside. Hendry then says TNA has been hottest than it’s been in years. Hendry then says he wakes up every day to keep that hot by being champion. Hendry then says he’ll put down TNA and NXT stars. Hendry then says the title will be on the line on a WWE PLE and that’s a big deal. Williams then says it’s a big deal because of him. Williams then says he’s bigger than TNA. Williams then says he’s Hollywood. Williams then says every man has their 15 minutes of fame except him. Williams then says he’ll take Hendry’s fame, title and brand. Ava then pushes the contract over and Williams signs it. Hendry then says no one is more confident than Trick Williams. Hendry then says Williams main evented Stand & Deliver two years in a row, so Battleground isn’t the biggest match of his career, but it might be the most important due to Williams being at a crossroads. Hendry then says Williams can’t get back to the NXT Title and after Battleground he can’t get to the TNA Title. Hendry then says as fast as Williams’ star can rise, it will fall down just as fast. Hendry then signs the contract.

We then see Hank and Tank meet up with Josh Briggs to console him about losing Inamura as a tag partner. Josh then talks about how Inamura had Josh’s back when he was on excursion in Japan. Josh then says he feels guilty about pushing Inamura away. Shawn Spears then shows up to tell Briggs that he should have done things differently. Spears then calls Briggs a cancer in his previous two relationships. Briggs then says he has a good idea how he can clear his head and Spears walks off.

We then see Kale Dixon and Uriah Connors confront NXT General Manager Ava to ask for a random match to show people what the new Chase U is all about. Ava then grants both of them a debut tag team match next week. Andre Chase then shows up. Ava then says Uriah and Kale will face the returning OTM. Chase then yells “What the F**k.”

It is then announced that next Tuesday on NXT we will see TNA World Champion Joe Hendry in concert and Trick Williams have a rap performance for the first time ever.

Fallon Henley and Jacy Jayne are already in the ring for the main event of the night and Jordynne Grace and Stephanie Vaquer follows.
