WWE NXT returns with the Vengeance Day Premium Live Event from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. Following weeks of escalating rivalries and championship pursuits, the event features several high-stakes matches across the brand.
The NXT Championship will be defended when Joe Hendry puts the title on the line against Ricky Saints. Hendry captured the vacant championship last month, but his celebration was cut short when Saints launched a surprise attack. Their rivalry has intensified ever since, and now the two will settle things with the title at stake.
Izzi Dame will defend the NXT Women’s North American Championship against former ally Tatum Paxley. Their feud began after Dame betrayed Paxley and removed her from The Culling, and the tension has only grown since Dame captured the championship from Thea Hail.
The rivalry between Blake Monroe and Jaida Parker will explode in a Street Fight after months of interference and escalating confrontations. Meanwhile, Tony D’Angelo and Dion Lennox will settle their issues in a Parking Lot Brawl as D’Angelo continues his war with DarkState.
An NXT Underground match is also scheduled, featuring Kelani Jordan taking on Lola Vice in a bout designed to showcase the most brutal side of the NXT roster.
The show kicks off at 7:00 PM ET on Peacock and is available for international fans on streaming platforms like Netflix. Ringside News will provide live, match-by-match updates and highlights throughout the night. Stay tuned to this page, refresh for the latest results as the action unfolds, and join the conversation in the comments below!
Your hosts for tonight are Megan Morant and Sam Roberts. They run down the card for tonight’s show.
We then take a look at Blake Monroe and Jaida Parker.
Sarah interviewed Blake earlier this week. Blake said Jaida knew exactly what she was doing when she interrupted her return. According to Blake, if you want people talking about you, you put yourself next to Blake Monroe. She said Jaida came after her to stay relevant.
Sarah asked Blake if she was being patronizing. Blake said Jaida talks a lot and claims she’s a top star. However, Blake questioned how someone can be considered a top star if they can’t get through a match without being suspended. She said people should be talking about her instead of Jaida, adding that if Jaida wants to climb in NXT, she’ll have to survive that climb.
Sarah then brought up how much the crowd supports Jaida. Blake said she knows the fans love her and saw their reactions when she attacked Jaida. However, she added that admiration and relevance are not the same thing. According to Blake, being loved doesn’t mean you own the room. She said the real question isn’t whether she can handle Jaida, but whether Jaida can handle the pressure. Blake added that when the bell rings, none of that matters — the only thing that matters is survival.
Blake spoke with Kelani earlier this week. He asked Kelani about competing in her first Underground match. Jordan said she and Lola Vice have been connected in NXT since they both debuted. When you spend that much time around someone, friendships form. They bonded over having the same passion and goals, which is why she took it personally when Lola kicked her out of the locker room.
Blake asked Kelani if she knew why she was kicked out. Kelani said it was because Lola was jealous and wanted her spot. She pointed to everything she’s accomplished and noted that Lola didn’t kick out Jacy Jayne or Arianna Grace. According to Kelani, Lola has had the same opportunities she has, and it still took her a long time to finally win a title.
Blake then brought up the Underground match and Lola’s strong record in that environment. Kelani said she is a top athlete and records are meant to be broken. She reminded everyone that she was the first person to make Lola tap out and believes she can do it again. Jordan added that she learned from her previous loss and plans to target Lola’s injured hand.
Blake also asked about Kelani training with Shayna Baszler. Kelani said Shayna understands what it’s like to lose an Underground match and has taught her how to capitalize on Lola’s injury. She added that Shayna proves it every time she steps into the ring. Kelani then questioned who Lola is without using her fist as a weapon, saying Lola may have to figure that out after their Underground match.
We take a look at the upcoming Women’s North American Championship match.
We take a look at the match between Tony D’Angelo and Dion Lennox.
Sarah interviewed Lola Vice earlier this week. Sarah asks why did she kick Kelani out of the locker room. Lola says there is loyalty. She teamed with TNA and she is not loyal to the business, fans, or friends. Lola says people bring up that she is a champion in AAA< but she never turned her back on NXT.
Sarah asks why did it get to this. Lola says Kelani couldn’t stand losing to her. Lola says she hasn’t won a title in NXT yet so she doesn’t know why Kelani is so jealous. Lola says she doesn’t play games. She knocks people out for a living.
Sarah asks if Lola is in over her head because of her injury. Lola says a hurt hand does not change Lola, it changes the way she hurts Kelani. She was done with Kelani but Kelani kept this going. She thinks she knows how it ends, but Kelani steps into her world at Vengeance Day. The Standout will not be able to stand up.
They mention Stand and Deliver on April 4th.
We have a video package highlighting the rivalry between Kelani Jordan and Lola Vice.

Later, Robert Stone is in the ring. He introduces Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, and Lainey Reid. Jacy says she plans to walk into Stand and Deliver as champion. She says it feels like just yesterday when people were calling her a transitional champion, and nothing makes her happier than watching those critics eat their words.
Jacy says she understands how the wrestling business works. She’s experienced the ups and downs, including wins, losses, betrayals, and injuries. She tells Stone that he’s used to seeing people sitting next to him in the locker room one day and gone the next.
Jacy brings up how last year she was in a tag team match on the Stand and Deliver countdown show and was just happy to be on the card. This year, however, she says things are different because she’s heading into Stand and Deliver with one of the most dominant title reigns. Jacy then adds that if people are being honest, she should be the one main-eventing Stand and Deliver. Jacy continues by talking about the people she’s beaten. She says two weeks ago she defeated Sol Ruca in less than six seconds and laughs about it. Jacy adds that this past Tuesday she was on her way to beating Zaria as well. According to Jacy, she had the match won before Sol got involved and stopped the three count. Robert Stone then says the goal now is to find Jacy’s next challenger.
Zaria comes out and confronts Jacy. She questions Jacy’s claim about having the match won and says she’s used to Sol being arrogant, but Jacy is just delusional. Zaria says she didn’t become champion because of Sol and nothing about her situation has worked in Sol’s favor either. She then says she deserves another title opportunity.
Fallon Henley responds by telling Zaria and Sol that they aren’t Fatal Influence’s problem and says they only have themselves to blame because they didn’t want their friend to succeed. Lainey Reid adds that the real problem is Zaria. She says she has helped Jacy retain the title several times and claims Zaria always finds a way to fail when she gets an opportunity. Zaria fires back by saying if they’re looking for help, they should at least know what the other person is going to do.
Sol Ruca’s music hits and she comes out. Sol says all she sees are two souls that will belong to her soon. She tells Jacy that while she thinks she’s on top, it’s strange how someone in that position can be so desperate to make people believe they like her. Sol then turns to Zaria and says she trusted her, but it seems like Zaria forgot how well she knows her. Sol says she knows exactly how to break Zaria’s heart. She admits it may sound selfish, but makes it clear that Zaria isn’t touching the title because it belongs to her.
Stone then announces that Jacy deserves to defend her championship and reveals that a week from Tuesday in Houston, Jacy Jayne will defend the title against both Zaria and Sol Ruca. After the announcement, Jacy, Fallon, and Lainey attack Sol. Zaria pulls them off and tries to hit Jacy with an F5, but Jacy escapes.
