Get ready for an action-packed journey into the world of WWE NXT! We're about to dive into the results, winners, and all the juicy details from the live show on March 3rd, just days before the highly anticipated Vengeance Day 2026.
The Battle for the North American Championship: A Surprise Twist!
Myles Borne, the newly crowned North American Champion, stepped into the ring to celebrate his victory over Ethan Page. The crowd's chants of "You deserve it!" echoed through the arena, setting the tone for an intense rematch. Borne thanked his haters, including Page, for pushing him to new heights. But here's where it gets controversial: Borne accepted Page's challenge for an impromptu title bout, and the fight was on!
The match was a wild ride, with Page losing his pants (literally!) and Borne using some clever tactics to secure a quick win. This unexpected title defense was a thrilling way to kick off the show, showcasing the dynamic chemistry between these two wrestlers.
Result: Borne emerges victorious over Page
Grade: B - An entertaining start to the night!
The Babyface vs. Heel Dynamic: Jaida Parker and Blake Monroe
After a break, Blake Monroe and Jaida Parker engaged in a face-to-face segment. Monroe claimed that Parker needed her spotlight, but Parker shut down this notion, calling Monroe insecure. The segment ended with Parker easily sending Monroe out of the ring. While it was a simple exchange, it effectively set the stage for their upcoming feud.
Grade: B - A straightforward yet effective segment.
Speed Tournament: Nikkita Lyons vs. Wren Sinclair
In a Speed Tournament match, Nikkita Lyons and Wren Sinclair went head-to-head. The action was fast-paced, but the biggest challenge was ensuring the moves looked good and connected properly. Sinclair ultimately won with a submission, but the match itself left a bit to be desired.
Result: Sinclair takes the win over Lyons
Grade: C - A forgettable encounter.
Friends Turned Enemies: Tatum Paxley and Izzi Dame
Tatum Paxley and Izzi Dame had their final segment before their showdown at Vengeance Day. This heavily produced backstage segment, complete with mood music and a dollhouse, felt unnecessary and repetitive. However, both women have grown into charismatic performers, even if they weren't given much to work with this week.
Grade: C - A missed opportunity for a more engaging segment.
Six-Man Tag Team Match: Shiloh Hill, Hank, and Tank vs. Vanity Project
In a six-man tag team match, Hank, Tank, and Shiloh Hill faced off against the Vanity Project. The babyfaces gained control, but the Vanity Project quickly isolated their opponents. During the match, Keanu Carver made a surprising appearance, threatening the announcers. While the match had its moments, it felt like Hank and Tank sold too much to their smaller opponents. In the end, Hill pinned Jackson Drake to secure the win for his team.
Result: Hank, Tank, and Hill emerge victorious
Grade: B- - An entertaining match with some creative moments.
Women's Championship Match: Jacy Jayne vs. Zaria
The highly anticipated women's title match between Jacy Jayne and Zaria lived up to the hype. Zaria, without a corner person, faced an uphill battle against the champion and her friends, Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid. The match was competitive, with Zaria finding ways to regain control. However, the outcome was predictable, and the crowd seemed indifferent due to both women being heels.
Just as the match reached its climax, Sol Ruca interfered, hitting the Sol Snatcher on both women, causing the referee to call off the match.
Result: No Contest - A controversial ending!
Grade: B - An engaging match with an unexpected twist.
The Final Word: Ricky Saints' Concert
The show concluded with Ricky Saints holding a concert, similar to Joe Hendry's previous performance. However, Saints' lack of guitar skills became evident as he kept finding excuses to avoid playing. Hendry made a dramatic entrance, hitting Saints with a guitar to end the show on a dramatic note.
As the go-home show before Vengeance Day, WWE NXT delivered a solid performance, hyping up the upcoming matches while providing some entertaining action. Borne and Page's surprise title fight was undoubtedly the highlight, but Zaria and Jayne's match also left a lasting impression.
The black and gold brand has had its ups and downs, but it seems to have found its groove once again.
Grade: B- - A solid show with some memorable moments.
