Next week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2025/06/wwe-nxt-6102025.html

We see various wrestlers arrive.

We have a summit for the North American Title match. Ethan Page says Rey Fenix is stuck on a plane and won't be here. He says Laredo Kid and Je'Von Evans are in his ring. He talks about some upcoming matches that he didn't agree to, but says Ricky Saints did.

Laredo says Page just talks. Evans says Page cost him his SD match. Page says Evans stuck his nose in his business and Evans says he should have stuck his foot up his @ss. Sean Legacy comes out. He says he faces whoever has the N-A Title after Worlds Collide. He says hopefully it's not Page.

The Vanity Project come out as Sean says he can become the first Evolve men's champ. They say Sean is killing the vibe. Brad says Jackson Drake will take care of Sean at Evolve and take the bumps with him. The Vanity Project says they have Page's back and a big brawl breaks out. The heels are sent out and the faces do stereo dives to the outside. 

We see El Hijo del Vikingo in the crowd.

Chase U (Andre Chase, Uriah Connors and Kale Dixon) vs The Darkstate (Cutler James, Osiris Griffin and Dion Lennox)

Darkstate jum pin the ring 4v3 and attack the faces. Kale is pulled out to safety then UC goes in and gets 3v1'd.

Cutler back elbows UC then fireman's carry takeovers him. Cutler does corner spears then lariats UC. UC chops Dion then is taken down and pounded on. Dion backbreakers him. Dion crabs him. Kale drops Dion then they double clothesline each other.

Griffin shoulders over UC then knocks Chase off the apron. Griffin is pulled over the top but comes right back in. Griffin takes a double superkick then Dion does too. Griffin hits a double suplex.

Kale is thrown into a powerbomb and is pinned.

Thoughts: It was a quick one that was full of action. Chase U lost as expected here. What we got was fine but we didn't get a lot of it or anyone in it. I don't even think Chase officially got in the ring.

Legacy, Laredo and Evans talk to Ava in the back. She sets up an 8-man for tonight and tells them to find a partner. Evans says they can handle the heels 3v4. Dragon Lee walks in and offers to team with them.

Trick Williams is interviewed. He says Mike Santana is the standard of TNA but the standard has changed. He says he's in charge and calls the shots. He says TNA has been looking for someone to make them legit for 20 years and it's him. He says he knows what is best for TNA - TrickNA. He says the title stays with him.

Tyra Mae Steele, Kendal Grey and Carlee Bright talk in the back. She says disappointing Taker is just as scary as competing in The Olympics. Arianna Grace says she has won numerous beauty pageants. She says she hates gossip and says she heard Tyra's medals aren't 100% gold. She says not to talk about yourself if you want to fit in here. Tyra says she found her first opponent.

Round 1 - MB has Tavion with him and CD has Wren. CD armdrags him and armlocks him. MB snapmares him down and they stand off. MB shoulders him over. CD side headlocks him. CD armdrags him into an armlock. CD headscissors him and MB kips out. CD does a nice headscissors takedown then rolls him around with a keylock. MB lifts him out of it and they trade pin attempts. MB then gets a surprise pin to win the fall.

Round 2 - This start during a PiP break. CD cravates him MB side headlock takeovers him. CD headscissors him and MB kips out. MB hip throws him then side headlocks him. CD shoulders him over. MB bow and arrows him. MB backdrops him for 2. MB side headlock takeovers him. They fight over a top wristlock. CD shoulders him over. The round ends and CD knees him in the gut.

Round 4 - CD running dropkicks him in the corner then hits euros. CD hits knees to the ribs. CD knees him in the gut then takes a back body drop. MB shoulders and lariats him over. MB belly to belly overhead suplexes him. CD hits forearms to the gut. They trade pin attempts and CD backslides him with a bridge. MB tries a pin then dropkicks him. MB then wins.

Thoughts: It was a solid match as expected here with the two working well and Borne not looking out of his depth. I thought the result could go either way as there were storylines to explore regardless of who win. NQCC hasn't done much for anyone and I don't mind Borne leaving.

Borne offers a handshake after. Dempsey won't shake his hand.

The Culling are in the back and Izzi Dame chirs Brooks Jensen. Dame says he was never fully bought in and says now he's out. Shawn Spears agrees and The Culling walk.

Thoughts: I don't like this one if I'm Brooks. He hasn't improved a lot and this would seem like a way to cut him.

Tyra Mae Steele vs Arianna Grace

Tyra takes her down by the leg and then the arm. AG ropebreaks then does it again when her leg is grabbed. Tyra overhead suplexes her in a a dangerous looking spot. AG beats up on her in the corner then short arm lariats her. AG running facekicks her for 2.

Tyra hits lariats on her then does an AA style throw from her shoulders. AG germans her and wins.

Thoughts: It was a quick one with Tyra bullying Grace around and winning. Grace did not look ready for some of those throws.

We get a video on Jacy Jayne's surprise NXT Women's Title win last week.

Mike Santana is interviewed. He said he should be soaking this all in but he will take his time to reflect when the TNA Title is on his shoulder. He said he didn't see a fighting champion in Trick's eyes last week, he said he saw a champ. He said Trick is fighting for himself but he's fighting for the legacy of TNA. He then talks in spanish hand says he's fighting for his daughter who will witness history. He said he promised to be champ. 

Fatal Influence come out. The crowd chants for Jacy but she tells the crowd they didn't support her and can't get on the bandwagon now that she is champ. She says Fatal Influence is on top where they belong. She said she pulled out a shocking upset and left everyone shocked. She said she wasn't shocked though.

She says her and Fallon started together and says Fallon became like a sister to her. She said they had a long discussion and said it was time to run the play with "the slap heard around the world", implying they planned it. Lainey Reid, who hasn't been seen in months, interrupts.

The lights go out. Mariah May then appears on the riser. They say NXT just became glamorous. She says she has finally arrived. She says you can call her the next NXT Women's champ. She says the best women's division in the world just got a lot more glamorous.

Thoughts: This was a wild segment with tons of people getting involved. Mariah May debuted though we didn't hear what her name is in WWE yet and Lainey Reid made her NXT main show debut after being last seen on NXT Level Up months ago.

Stevie Turner talks to a bunch of girls in the back. She says these girls will go from Evolve to NXT. Kali says everyone is trying to get a title shot and she wants to see who will step up to her tomorrow night on Evolve.

Oba Femi talks to Robert Stone and Stevie Turner in the back. Jasper Troy comes in and goes face to face with Oba. Troy asks how it feels to look up at a man he's facing. Oba says it makes no difference and says the result remains the same. They stare down.

Thoughts: I really like First Class so I was happy to see them here. Them getting Elijah involved was fun too. The crowd was super hot here and Mike really tried hard in one of the biggest matches of his career. Trick also did a lot of leading in this one and put out a better performance than usual. This worked and was a good match with Mike losing as expected.

First Class then pose with Trick after near the entrance.

Overall thoughts: There was a lot going on in this one and they amount of stuff they squeezed in on this was insane. We had AAA wrestlers, TNA wrestlers, Evolve wrestlers, NXT Level Up wrestlers and Mariah May debuting. The Chase U tag was quick and full of action. The Rounds Match was good as expected. Tyra didn't have a great NXT TV debut. We had an unusual segment with most of the women's roster where Mariah May and Lainey Reid made their made NXT TV debuts. The Vanity Project had a fast paced tag with lots of dives and Trick/Mike had a good main with some nice surprises near the end. It was a fun and memorable show and I'd give this one a 7 out of 10. You should check this out as everything went down here.
