WWE NXT Review (6/16/26) – Evil on the Way

Naraku and the Evil

Naraku welcomed the NXT Champion, Tony D’Angelo, who asked him why he was here. Naraku had a contract for them to sign. D’Angelo said that he sees right through the mysterious man Naraku portrays. Naraku replied that he doesn’t know what D’Angelo means. D’Angelo did his research, and he found out how many titles he won. Naraku didn’t do it by himself. Naraku said not to judge him by his past.

D’Angelo said that Naraku is a very evil man, and he left for one reason. History says Naraku can do a lot, including winning by any means necessary, not by the traditional means. Naraku stated he understood him. D’Angelo wanted to sign the contract, but Naraku hadn’t yet. Naraku will give Tony the signed contract next week.

Nattie prevails

Nattie made good on her word: she taught Jaida Parker a valuable lesson in what it takes to be a winner. The match quickly devolved into a personal, hard-hitting affair with neither Superstar willing to give the other an inch. In the end, Nattie locked in her signature Sharpshooter, and Parker was given no choice but to submit.

Speedy Arianna Grace

Arianna Grace represented BirthRight with pride by defeating Layla Diggs in the Women’s Speed Tournament. The newcomer Diggs was on her game early, but she took her eyes off her opponent to hit a massive Moonsault on the rest of BirtRight. Grace wisely baited Diggs back into the ring and promptly rolled her up to score the win.

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.
