Here is the WWE NXT review of the May 5, 2026, episode. The show was held in the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, FL. If NXT lost eight wrestlers, called up to Raw or SmackDown, the brand won five Evolve and LFG talents, called up to NXT. Lizzy Rain, Tristan Angels, Kam Hendrix, Tate Wilder, and Will Kroos made a striking debut last week. Not to mention EVIL’s arrival.
Three matches and a segment were advertised for the May 5, 2026, NXT episode. After Izzi Dame attacked Lola Vice last week, Vice and her AAA Mixed Tag Team partner face Dame and her Culling partner, Niko Vance. Jaida Parker squares off with Kali Armstrong. Zaria has some things to say after defeating Sol Ruca two weeks ago at NXT Revenge Week Two.
Jasper Troy faces The Vanity Project’s leader, Jackson Drake. More Evolve or LFG talent could debut this week. Last week, a question remained unanswered. Who is Tony D’Angelo’s next challenger for the NXT Championship? Because TNA Wrestling could be involved, let’s Nygma-dive into what happened last night.
