The November 4 edition of WWE NXT emanated from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, FL. Last week, the episode turned into chaos as Trick Williams hijacked NXT. He and NXT Champion Ricky Saints brawled everywhere they could, to the point of irritating NXT General Manager Ava. They will face off next week in a Last Man Standing match for the Championship.
At least three matches were advertised for this week’s NXT episode, including the WWE Women’s Speed tournament, Fatal Influence vs The Culling & Lola Vice, and DarkState’s Saquon Shugars vs. Je’Von Evans. Because TNA is involved, let’s Nygma dive into what happened last night.
It's almost time. @MrStoneWWE and @blakehowardwwe get us ready for a big night on #WWENXT!

Fatal Influence Reigns Supreme, Again
Jacy Jayne exacted payback on NXT Women’s Champion Tatum Paxley by helping Fatal Influence upend the team of Paxley, Izzi Dame, and Lola Vice. The former NXT Women’s Champion slyly tagged into the match, and that forced Dame to toss Paxley out of the way, allowing herself to take the full force of a Rolling Encore that ended the bout. Will Dame keep on sacrificing this way for Paxley? Not that sure.
Kelani Jordan Shows Her True Coloes
After bashing Jordynne Grace with the TNA Knockouts World Title to escape with the victory last week, Kelani Jordan responded to her shocking actions on WWE NXT.
Kelani explained that when she won the TNA Knockouts World Championship, she was kicked out of the locker room and labeled as a traitor; now she’ll do whatever it takes to remain Champion. She announced that she would not be defending the title at NXT Gold Rush because no one in NXT or TNA is worthy of a match. Jordan yielded to the Ecstasy of Gold, no surprise here.
El Grande Americano Makes a Statement
After an altercation in the locker room, WWE Speed Champion El Grande Americano defeated Josh Briggs in his NXT debut. The #1 Contender, Jasper Troy, made his way to the ringside during the bout, as did Tavion Heights. That allowed Los Americanos to neutralize Briggs, allowing El Grande Americano to submit Briggs.
Trick Williams and Ricky Saints Brawled, Again
Ricky Saints tried to talk to Trick Williams, asking him why he couldn’t accept his loss, but Trick Williams just wanted to talk about Trick Williams. “I can take NXT to heights that you failed to do so,” Saints says. As the Champion defined himself as a man of the people, Williams replied, “You look like a fan. You want your title? You go to the WWE Shop like everyone else.”
Ricky Saints had heard enough. We saw him run backstage, find Trick Williams, and another brawl erupted. Williams promised last week that he would reclaim the Championship. Ego is the best and worst fuel ever. It turns you into a destructive machine, but also very often a self-destructive one.
No waiting until next week…@_trickwilliams just DROPPED Ricky Saints backstage! 😲 pic.twitter.com/ObhtCrmZvy

Zaria on the Road to the WWE Women’s Speed Championship
Before the show, NXT revealed the bracket for the Women’s Speed Championship Tournament, with Zaria facing Wren Sinclair, and Fallon Henley vs. WWE LFG Season 2 winner, Skylar Raye. Zaria, supported by Sol Ruca, crushed Wren Sinclair, thanks to a devastating Spear and a match-ending F5.
Kelani Jordan Will be at NXT Gold Rush, Whether She Wants it or Not
After her “traitor” speech, Kelani Jordan had words with Tyra Mae Steele, WWE LFG Season 1 winner. NXT General Manager Ava made the match. Jordan did not hesitate to bend the rules once again and won the bout with her signature split-legged Moonsault.
Léi Ying Lee took to social media to address Kelani’s change of heart and promised to bring honor back to the TNA Knockouts World Title. Much to her dismay, Jordan was then informed by Director of Authority Santino Marella that she must defend the TNA Knockouts World Championship against both Jordynne Grace and Léi Ying Lee in a Triple Threat Match at NXT Gold Rush.
Je’Von Evans Didn’t Come to Play
The Young OG showed up and showed out as Je’Von Evans defeated Saquon Shugars as the rest of DarkState looked on. Shugars had a power advantage, but not even the support of Dion Lennox, Osiris Griffin, and Cutler James could boost him to the win. DarkState tried to get involved, but Evans outran them all before hitting a remarkable Corkscrew Splash to end the battle for good.
WHAT. A. FINISH.
THERE IS NO ONE LIKE JE'VON EVANS! 😮💨 pic.twitter.com/sDvI4rJlxb

The Muy Grande Championship Celebration
This weekend at “AAA Alianzas,” Ethan Page and Chelsea Green became the AAA Mixed Tag-Team Champions. Green said that no other iconic duo has the potential to take over the entire industry, except them. Page confirmed, “We said it, and it came true.” Green was about to say his name, but Page cut her off, as he could ruin everything.
Alba Fyre said his name, Page and Green grabbed weapons, but Joe Hendry was not in the cake. He made his way to the ring the normal way. Hendry revealed the surprise he was keeping for Gold Rush. Say her name, and she appears. Thea Hail was in the cake. She threw pies in Green and Fyres’s faces while Hendry had one for Page. Hendry and Hail will lay claim to the AAA Mixed Tag Team Titles at NXT Gold Rush.
Meanwhile, Backstage…
- ZaRuca and Fatal Influence both planned on leaving NXT Gold Rush with some Championship gold.
- NXT Women’s North American Champion Blake Monroe will give an exclusive interview next week.
- Advised by The Culling, NXT’s Women’s Champion Tatum Paxley will be more selective about who gets a title opportunity.
All eyes on Gold Rush.

Nygma Says
Some good and bad things in this episode. Je’Von Evans was impressive. I love the pie jokes, so I loved the celebration. Kelani Jordan turned heel, and that’s not a surprise. The Culling/Fatal Influence war, like Trick Williams’ ego crisis, is infuriating. Also, why should I believe in Thea Hail when I don’t believe in Joe Hendry?
The road to NXT Gold Rush and Deadline will be pretty epic. I’ll see you next week as I keep on exploring the NXT world through the NXTNA “cold war.” Till then, may the Nygma be with you.
