WWE NXT Results (5/27/25)
Ricky Saints (c) vs. Ethan Page [NXT North American Championship]
With the bad blood between Ricky Saints and Ethan Page, there were extra security and officials ringside. The pair did not waste any time, as they immediately began beating each other down, with ring announcer Mike Rome barely able to get through his introductions. NXT General Manager Ava came out, and it appears she told the referee to use his discretion and let the match play out, so as to get a decisive winner.
With the steel chair conveniently placed there, Page plants Saints right on it, hurting his throat. The match continues though, and the two keep the fight up, bringing the best they can to each other. Page continues to work on that throat, which ultimately leads to him being able to pick up the victory and crown him the new NXT North American Champion.
This is absolute CHAOS! 😱@OfficialEGO might have just ended @starkmanjones for good!! 😲#WWENXT pic.twitter.com/JMzyay5XFl

Fatal Influence Backstage Interview
With an NXT Women’s Championship opportunity tonight, Jacy Jayne is backstage giving an interview. She is flanked by her Fatal Influence stablemates, Fallon Henley and Jazmyn Nyx, with the former being less than pleased that she is not the one getting the title opportunity. Jayne lets Henley know that, with or without her, she plans to bring the gold back to the stable.
Settle down ladies! 😅@FallonHenleyWWE and @jacyjaynewwe don't seem to be on the same page…#WWENXT pic.twitter.com/XsFXY6a91T

Mike Santana vs. Tavion Heights
Mike Santana made his promotional debut for WWE on the May 27 edition of NXT. He did so against No Quarter Catch Crew’s Tavion Heights, after the two agreed to have a match at Battleground. The match is quite intense and fast-paced, with both Santana and Heights looking to show out.
Santana ultimately picked up the victory, much to the chagrin of Heights’ NQCC stablemate, Charlie Dempsey. Despite this, Santana and Heights showed each other respect and shook hands.
🤝 🤝 🤝
After one hell of a match, @TavionHeights and @Santana_Proud show their respect to one another!#WWENXT pic.twitter.com/9sFAqBXxIq

Kale Dixon and Uriah Connors Seize The Moment

Ava grants their match request – they (along with Chase) will take on three members of Darkstate on the June 3 edition of NXT.
Be careful what you wish for… 😅
Don't think a match with DarkState is what @KaleDixonWWE or @WWE_URIAH had in mind 😬@AndreChaseWWE #WWENXT pic.twitter.com/jGtuaqBp8W

Trick Williams’ First Address as TNA World Champion
Trick Williams addresses the NXT Universe for the first time as TNA World Champion. He calls out the fans for waving their hands and supporting Joe Hendry. Williams then says that, since he was not appreciated in NXT, he is about to run things at TNA (or TrickNA, as he now calls it).
TNA’s Santana, who had a match earlier in the night, interrupted Williams. The two do not have a pleasant exchange, and this leads to an on-camera announcement from TNA’s Director of Authority, Santino Marella. Trick Williams will make his first TNA World Championship defense on the June 3 NXT, and it will be against Mike Santana.
"You ain't my champion."@Santana_Proud is already sick of the disrespect from @_trickwilliams, and won't let him tear down @ThisIsTNA 😤 #WWENXT pic.twitter.com/yI9XExI9dI

Jaida Parker vs. Tatum Paxley
Tatum Paxley has been an emotional wreck since the departure of her friends, but she had to focus on Jaida Parker tonight. The two put on a match where they both tried to pick up the victory, but Parker takes advantage of Paxley’s emotional state and gets the win. Celebrations do not last too long as Thea Hail attacks Parker post-match.

No Quarter Catch Crew Backstage Segment
No Quarter Catch Crew is backstage, and Charlie Dempsey seems to be trying to tell Myles Borne and Heights to revert to teamwork rather than singles aspirations. Borne fights back against that, and even wants to leave NQCC. The two agree to a Rounds match next week where, if Borne wins, he will get to leave the stable.
"If I win, you let me go." 👀@mylesborne_wwe wants out of the NQCC, Charlie Dempsey won't let him, so now we have a Rounds Match NEXT WEEK and if Myles wins, he can leave! 😱#WWENXT pic.twitter.com/V4ohTU7kCd

Tatum Paxley Gets A Kind Word

Stephanie Vaquer (c) vs. Jacy Jayne [NXT Women’s Championship]
Stephanie Vaquer did not waste any time getting this match against Jacy Jayne started. Early on, Chik Tormenta and Dalys came to ringside hoping to cause an interference, but Vice came out and handled them. With that, Vaquer was able to focus on her challenger.
Jayne’s issues with the rest of her Fatal Influence stablemates (particularly Fallon Henley) threaten her chances, as she consistently gets distracted. Just when things are looking up for Vaquer, it seemed that Fatal Influence was back on the same page, and this allowed Jayne to pick up the victory. This was shocking to everyone, but Jacy Jayne is the new NXT Women’s Champion.
SHOCKED. STUNNED. SPEECHLESS.
JACY JAYNE IS THE NEW NXT WOMEN’S CHAMPION!!! 🤯#WWENXT pic.twitter.com/DSw9Wu938t
