NXT is in a new era with both the Men’s and Women’s titles changing hands.

NXT Battleground 2026, at this point, they are returning to UFC APEX in Las Vegas, NV.

Vic, along with Booker T and Mike Rome are ready to go.

Tony D’Angelo: The First NXT Grand Slam Champion. NXT Championship, NXT North American Championship (He was the one who finally ended Oba Femi’s record 273-day reign!) NXT Tag Team Championship (with Stacks), NXT Heritage Cup.

Lola Vice: She also made history on Saturday, becoming the first Cuban American female champion in WWE history by winning the NXT Women’s Title from Jacy Jayne.

Myles Borne: He retained the North American Title in a war against Johnny Gargano.

The “New Era” of NXT didn’t just start with a celebration—it started with a riot. New NXT Champion Tony D’Angelo’s first address was cut short by a parade of challengers, followed by a vicious ambush from Dark State. Within minutes, the ring was a sea of black shirts and officials as the entire locker room emptied to restore order.

If tonight was supposed to be a “Fallout” show, the fallout just levelled the building. Tony D’Angelo is the Grand Slam Champion, but he’s already fighting a war on two fronts.

Sol Ruca is in the ring waiting for the arrival of Izzi Dame for a singles match. Sol Ruca is on an absolute tear. Coming off the St. Louis weekend, she’s being positioned as the top contender to eventually challenge Lola Vice. The Clash of Styles: You have Sol’s “Sol Snatcher” out-of-nowhere athleticism going up against Izzi Dame’s power and “mean girl” technicality. Izzi has been desperate to prove she’s more than just a member of The Culling, and she really brought the fight tonight. Give Zaria the assist to Izzi for the win.

This Triple Threat is pure chaos in the “New Era.” It’s a literal collision of the three biggest powerhouses on the brand right now, and the backstory makes it even better. You’ve got Keanu Carver, who has been a total loose cannon (even going after Booker T), Jasper Troy, who has been trying to be the enforcer, and Josh Briggs, who is basically done being the “nice guy” and is ready to tear everyone apart. Carver won, but that was a battle.

Is the New Era already being bogged down by old habits? Dark State’s constant interference is starting to feel like a recurring nightmare rather than a fresh threat. If tonight’s main event dissolves into the ‘ugly’ DQ finish we all see coming, it might be time for the Don to settle this for good and move on to something—and someone—new. 8-man tag team with Dark State taking on Tony D, Ethan Page, Ricky Saint/ Joe Hendry. Ethan Page stole the pin. Tony had it won, but Ethan made the mistake of stealing the win. Needless to say, Ethan just became Tony’s enemy.

Speed Tournment begins with Lexis King facing off against Chazz “Starboy” Hall. It’s a 3-minute time limit. Lexis wins. It’s a good learning curve for Hall.

Shiloh Hill/Tatum Paxley in a mixed tag team facing Blake Monroe/Jackson Drake. You all know I am partial to Shiloh, but to see him and Tatum working well together. Blake tried a runner, but Shiloh tagged in Tatum, who caught Blake. It was four on two. It was a good match, but it turned out to be rubbish. Blake/Jackson with the win.

Lola Vice was out having a great chat about her winning at Stand and Deliver. Should have known that Jacy Jade and Fatal Attraction walked out. Boy, the Universe is giving it to Jacy. Robert Stone ended all our misery by giving Jacy her rematch at Revenge week 1, which begins next week.
