Here is the WWE NXT review of the May 19, 2026, episode. The show was held in the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, FL. This episode is Rookie & Championship time. Lizzy Rain, Tristan Angels, Kam Hendrix, Tate Wilder, Myka Lockwood, Mason Rook, Kali Armstrong, and Naraku have made their debut one after another. They all want gold, and the quest begins tonight.
Five matches were advertised for the May 19, 2026, NXT episode. On the rookie side, Tristan Angels makes his NXT in-ring debut. Tate Wilder faces Keanu Carver (good luck). Kam Hendrix and Mason Rook compete against the NXT Champion and the NXT North American Champion, Tony D’Angelo and Myles Borne.
On the Championship side, Tatum Paxley offered Lizzy Rain a chance at the NXT Women’s North American Championship after their win last week. Also, The Vanity Project puts the NXT Tag Team Championship on the line against DarkState. Will DarkState be on the same page? Because TNA Wrestling could be involved, let’s Nygma-dive into what happened last night.
