At NXT Revenge Week One, Lola Vice retained the NXT Women's Championship, but Kendal Grey made her presence felt

NXT Revenge Week One Review (4/14/26) – Implode, Explode

Tony D’Angelo Retains

NXT Champion Tony D’Angelo was ready to make a statement. And he did, as he successfully retained the NXT Championship after a grueling fight with former champion Ethan Page. Ricky Saints attempted to help his friend Page, but Shiloh Hill appeared from under the ring, hogtied Saints, and dragged him away, kicking and screaming.

Page brought the NXT Championship into the ring and dumped the champion onto it via an Ego’s Edge, but not even that was enough to win the bout. Despite Page’s best efforts alone, D’Angelo delivered an amazing Spear and a Dead to Rights chokeslam to win the match.

Myles Borne makes DarkState crumble

The NXT North American Champion was happy until Dion Lennox attacked him from behind at NXT Stand and Deliver. From the HBalKony, Lennox said that DarkState did a lot in NXT. Borne accepted a title match next week, only if DarkState is not around. Saquon Shuggars was not ok with Lennox, and he attacked Borne.

The Belgium-born Superstar crashed and burned on a Shooting Star Press, allowing Prosper to hit a picture-perfect Moonsault to advance to the Speed Tournament Final. He will face Lexis King next week at NXT Revenge Week Two.
