WWE NXT Review (6/9/26) – Winning to Pass the Test

DarkState faces Shugars’ revenge

Dion Lennox showed up and showed out as he defeated Jasper Troy, but he paid a price for it. Saquon Shugars attacked Osiris Griffin with a baseball bat.

Mr. NXT Pageant

There was the runway show. Then, the special talent display. And the speeches. The jury made its choice, like the audience. Shiloh Hill won, and Tristan Angels attacked him with a chair.

Zaria is the new NXT Women’s North American Champion

The Australian powerhouse Zaria dominated the early goings with a huge Spear and even tossed the champion into the barricade on the outside. Paxley continued to fight, and even after getting hit with a second Spear, she unleashed an incredible Coast to Coast dropkick. Zaria rose from the ashes and delivered a thunderous F-5 on the outside, followed by a third Spear and a second F-5 inside the ring to win the match and the title.

NXT Review – Meanwhile, backstage

  • Before the episode, Jaida Parker invaded Nattie’s dungeon. And she was proud of it.
  • Naraku joined Tony D’Angelo backstage and gave him another “war” message.
  • Naraku talked to Robert Stone and confirmed that he is now at war with Tony D’Angelo. Stone asked what was in the box he sent to Tony D before he debuted. It was an invitation. Keanu Carver stopped them. He asked Stone when he would have a title chance.

About Steph Franchomme

Steph, for Stephanie, is not only eNYGMAtic, charismatic, but also “très chic.” Living in France, her birth country, she broke the language barrier to become a respected writer and interviewer on many wrestling promotions. She has developed a very special bond with TNA Wrestling over time to the point of becoming an Authority on the company. The French Nygma, as she loves to call herself, has been a wrestling writer and editor for nearly a decade for SteelChair Magazine/Wrestling SC, TWM and Distortion Media. She has interviewed hundreds of wrestlers from WWE, MLW, TNA, NXT, AEW, and many more promotions. The Nygma is now the new “Authority” on TNA Wrestling and NXT for Last Word on Pro Wrestling. The writer/editor also runs @3WWrestling, her own platform.
