Here is the WWE NXT review of the May 12, 2026, episode. The show was held in the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, FL. Champions Tony D’Angelo, Lola Vice, Myles Borne, and Tatum Paxley now have a slew of contenders waiting. And they all want gold. Lizzy Rain, Tristan Angels, Kam Hendrix, Tate Wilder, Myka Lockwood, and Mason Rook made a striking debut the last 2 weeks. Not to mention Kali Armstrong’s debut at NXT Revenge and Naraku’s war declaration.
Five matches were advertised for the May 12, 2026, NXT episode. Noam Dar makes his in-ring return against Jackson Drake. Naraku will make his in-ring debut. Kelani Jordan faces Kendal Grey in what can be a #1 contender match for the NXT Women’s Championship. With the Women’s North American Championship on the radar, Zaria has to team up with Nikkita Lyons against Lizzy Rain and Tatum Paxley.
EK Prosper, Sean Legacy, and Tate Wilder join forces against the Birthright. Sean Legacy made a stunning return when he replaced Dorian Van Dux 2 weeks ago. Alongside EK Prosper, he defeated Lexis King and Uriah Connors. Because TNA Wrestling could be involved, let’s Nygma-dive into what happened last night.
