WWE NXT delivered a violent, consequential Tuesday night at the Performance Center on Nov. 11, 2025. The program built to a chaotic main event — a Last Man Standing for the NXT Championship — and produced multiple notable moments that will shape NXT’s winter booking: Ricky Saints retained in a savage clash with Trick Williams, LFG winner Jasper Troy captured the WWE Speed Championship, Fallon Henley punched her ticket to Gold Rush, and the show closed with a surprise confrontation from former champion Oba Femi. Below is a full recap, analysis of the night’s biggest beats, and what each result means for the road ahead. 

Here are the full results

• Ricky Saints def. Trick Williams — Last Man Standing — Ricky Saints still NXT Champion.  
• Jasper Troy def. El Grande Americano — New WWE Speed Champion (Jasper Troy captured the vacant/Speed Title following his LFG Season One victory).  
• Fallon Henley def. Skylar Rae — Speed Match — Henley earns a title opportunity at Gold Rush vs. Zaria (vacant Women’s Speed Title slot).  
• Thea Hail def. Alba Fyre — singles victory with interference teased involving Chelsea Green & Ethan Page (AAA Mixed Tag context).  
• Tavion Heights def. Josh Briggs — hard-hitting singles contest.  
• Leon Slater returns to NXT — intervenes to help Je’Von Evans against DarkState.

The big moments — what happened and why it matters

Ricky Saints survives an all-out Last Man Standing war with Trick Williams

The main event was as violent as advertised. Trick Williams started strong, weaponizing chairs, a kendo stick and trash cans, and repeatedly looked to incapacitate the champion. Saints absorbed heavy punishment — including a Book End on the steel steps and a barrage of ringside destruction — but ultimately answered the 10-count after a massive Spear that put Williams through the announce table. Saints retained the NXT Championship, then was confronted in the ring by former champion Oba Femi, who returned in ominous fashion to close the show. That finish both protects Trick (who played the relentless challenger) and preserves Saints as a resilient fighting champion while planting seeds for a fresh Femi vs. Saints program. 

Jasper Troy’s momentum pays off — new Speed Champion

LFG Season One winner Jasper Troy capitalized on his momentum, defeating El Grande Americano to become the new WWE Speed Champion. WWE’s official highlights call out Troy as a new titleholder, which immediately sets up Gold Rush and the Speed Title picture for the coming weeks. Troy’s win is a classic example of WWE using a tournament (or competition winner) to quickly elevate a new star into title gold. Expect Gold Rush matches and Speed Title defenses to feature Troy prominently. 

Fallon Henley punches her ticket to Gold Rush

Fallon Henley defeated Skylar Rae in a Speed match to earn a championship opportunity at Gold Rush against Zaria for the vacant Speed Title slot. Henley’s win keeps her on an upward trajectory in NXT’s women’s scene and gives the Gold Rush card another established name to promote for the Speed Title picture. 

Returns, interferences, and backstage teases

Leon Slater (TNA X-Division Champion) showed up to aid Je’Von Evans in the ongoing DarkState feud, adding cross-promotional heat and a new variable to that program. Later, Oba Femi’s post-match confrontation with Ricky Saints is the episode’s clearest big-picture development — a legacy champion re-entering the title chase creates immediate headline value and a credible threat to Saints’ run. 

Match quality, booking notes, and backstage implications

• Main event storytelling: The Last Man Standing stipulation allowed both men to tell a linear “who can endure more?” story. Trick’s early domination with weapons and Saints’ comeback underlined the champion’s toughness while still giving Trick a platform to look legitimately dangerous. The post-match Oba Femi angle smartly continues NXT’s habit of using surprise returns to punctuate major episodes.  
• Speed Title direction: Jasper Troy’s coronation clears the “winner’s reward” narrative for LFG and gives the Speed division a fresh face. How WWE books Troy at Gold Rush and in defenses will determine whether this title change is a short bump or the start of a sustained push. Expect cruiserweight-style fast action and multi-opponent scenarios to follow.  
• Gold Rush implications: Fallon Henley’s earned shot at Zaria places Henley into a marquee Gold Rush storyline and gives the NXT women’s card a clear contest to promote. This also keeps the Speed division busy while the women’s singles scene shifts toward winter/holiday season programing.  
• Cross-brand/activity additions: Leon Slater’s return to help Je’Von Evans adds outside interest and possible TNA/NXT interplay. WWE has occasionally used crossover talent and outside champions to add legitimacy to NXT programs — this could be an organic way to plant new matches or enrich the DarkState feud.  

Top three social-friendly moments that will trend

1. Ricky Saints’ Spear through the announce table — the decisive moment of the Last Man Standing that will generate GIFs and reaction clips.  
2. Oba Femi’s return/confrontation — surprise returns always play big on social platforms; the timing (post-main event) gives maximum drama.  
3. Jasper Troy celebrating as Speed Champion — a feel-good coronation that will be replayed with highlight packages.  

What this means for the short- and mid-term NXT picture

• Ricky Saints (Champion) — Saints looks like a long-term fighting champion for now. Oba Femi’s return suggests WWE may pivot to a high-profile title program that could dominate the NXT landscape heading into year-end specials. Saints’ ability to absorb punishment also protects Trick for future singles or tag scenarios.  
• Trick Williams — Despite losing, Trick’s violent run and near-win in a stip match keeps him relevant as a top heel and potential multi-show singles star if WWE wants to repackage or re-push him.  
• Jasper Troy & Speed division — Troy’s new title reign opens the door to fast-paced, dynamic matches and gives WWE a tournament-to-title success story to promote heading into Gold Rush.  
• Gold Rush build — With Fallon Henley booking a title match and the Speed division in fresh flux, Gold Rush’s speed/title picture looks marketable and filled with credible challengers. Expect multi-week build and tournament-style hype.  

Quick editorial take / grades

• Overall episode: A — The Last Man Standing main event and the Oba Femi return gave the show legitimate must-watch moments; several undercard matches delivered solidly and the Speed title change added a tangible outcome worth covering.  
• Booking: B+ — Smart protection for top players, clear follow-up beats (Gold Rush, Femi vs. Saints tease), and an effective title switch. A few mid-card matches could have used stronger time or finish clarity.
