The January 27, 2026, edition of WWE NXT emanated from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, FL. The 2026 version of NXT is one in the making. The new NXT Champion will be determined in a 6-Man Ladder match on February 3. Ricky Saints is already qualified, like Sean Legacy and Shiloh Hill.
Four matches were advertised for this NXT episode. The last 3 participants for the Ladder match will be determined. Joe Hendry faces Jackson Drake, Andre Chase competes against Keanu Carver, and Myles Borne faces Dion Lennox. Borne has a double chip on his shoulder, Ricky Saints and Ethan Page, that could put him in danger.
Also, as OTM helped Joe Hendry against DarkState, they have a chance tonight to become the new NXT Tag Team Champions. On social media, WWE also announced two more matches: Nikkita Lyons vs. Jaida Parker, and Lexis King vs. Tavion Heights. Because TNA could be involved, let’s Nygma-dive into what happened last night.
He's just here so he won't get fined. 😅@KeanuCarverWWE is NOT messing around tonight, and he let @blakehowardwwe and @MrStoneWWE know about it…
