WWE NXT Review (6/30/26) – the Great American Mess

EK Prosper prevails

Keanu Carver attacked AAA Latin American Champion El Hijo de Vikingo and took his spot against EK Prosper, but a ghost from his past came back to haunt him. Carver was brutalizing Prosper and smashed Prosper on the announce table, but Tank Ledger appeared and got some payback on Carver on behalf of Hank Walker, allowing Prosper to steal the win.

Jaida Parker and Nattie, Act 2

Jaida Parker is back in the win column as Nattie’s group suffered its first setback. Parker brought the fight to the outside but was immediately trapped by Nattie and Evolve Women’s Champion Nikkita Lyons. However, Layla Diggs hesitated and didn’t strike Parker. That allowed Parker to get back into the action and hit Hipnotic and Deja Vu to defeat Petrovic.

Tony D and the Steel Chairs

The NXT Champion said that when you use something every day, you take it for granted. Last week, he was burnt and scared, and he wondered if he could see out of his eye. Was he willing to risk his health to defend this title? He told Naraku he was going to war. He talked about blind rage, and he never let up. Tony said he is done with Naraku.

Naraku was not. Kendal Grey made her way out, and she fist-bumped with Tony D. He returned to the arena area as Naraku attacked him from behind with a chair. Naraku connected with an STO to the chair. We saw footage of Naraku spitting mist into Tony’s eye before the attack we saw took place.

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.
