The June 17, 2025 edition of WWE NXT marked the official start of the road to WWE Evolution, set for Sunday, July 13th, live from Atlanta, Georgia—and the night delivered high stakes, shocking upsets, and chaotic moments that sent shockwaves through multiple divisions. Four Evolution Eliminator matches kicked off the evening, with each winner now advancing to next week’s high-stakes Fatal 4-Way to determine who will challenge NXT Women’s Champion and Fatal Influence leader Jacy Jayne at Evolution. The night also featured the much-anticipated debut of First Class Trick in six-man tag team action—well, almost—as KC Navarro was ruled out and Wes Lee of High Ryze stepped in. In a stunning twist, the match ended with Yoshiki Inamura pinning none other than the reigning TNA World Champion Trick Williams. What does this mean for TNA’s future, its world title, and the unity of First Class Trick as a trio moving forward? Meanwhile, Josh Briggs and Inamura made their intentions clear post-match: both men are eyeing gold on both sides of the forbidden door.
Elsewhere, Kale Dixon and Uriah Connors began adjusting to life under the banner of Chase University, while Tavion Heights looked to carve his own path, attempting to follow in the footsteps of former No Quarter Catch Crew member Myles Borne. But instead of Charlie Dempsey, Tavion will face his friend next week in The Young OG, Je’Von Evans. Should Heights emerge victorious, it could further destabilize the Catch Crew’s already-shaky foundation.
Tensions also rose in the North American Championship picture as Ricky Saints was informed that to earn another shot at Ethan Page’s title, he’ll have to run the gauntlet against WWE EVOLVE’s dominant faction, The Vanity Project. And in a truly show-stealing segment, “The Glamour” Blake Monroe’s contract signing ended in utter glamorous chaos, as Fatal Influence crashed the scene—culminating in Jacy Jayne and Fallon Henley sending Monroe crashing through the table. What’s next for the rising star after that brutal statement?
As the countdown to WWE Evolution heats up, NXT also revealed that the Great American Bash returns the night before—Saturday, July 12th—live from Atlanta’s historic Center Stage. With rivalries boiling over and alliances cracking, one thing is certain: the summer in NXT is about to reach a fever pitch.
