Last night’s episode of WWE NXT was must-see television, delivering chaos, surprises, and a seismic shift in momentum heading into a packed wrestling weekend. In the main event, newly crowned TNA World Champion Trick Williams defended his title for the first time against “The Standard of TNA” Mike Santana in a wild, unpredictable showdown that left the NXT Universe buzzing. The night also featured the surprise arrivals of AAA stars Octagón Jr., Aero Star, and Mr. Iguana, who appeared to scout potential opponents ahead of this Saturday’s highly anticipated WWE & AAA: Worlds Collide event featuring Latino World Order.
In a key update, it was announced that LWO’s Joaquin Wilde suffered an injury on Raw this past Monday, officially ruling him out of the Worlds Collide trios match. Stepping into his place will be the returning Lince Dorado, who recently competed in a triple threat play-in match on WWE Evolve for a chance to earn a spot in today’s Fatal Four-Way Elimination Match to crown the inaugural WWE Evolve Champion.
Elsewhere on the show, newly crowned NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne got a harsh introduction to life at the top, as nearly the entire women’s locker room made it clear they’re coming for her. This segment not only featured the debut of Lainey Reid but also ignited the most talked-about moment of the night—the shocking arrival of former AEW Women’s World Champion Mariah May. Just four days after her AEW departure was confirmed and her profile removed from the roster page, May made her WWE debut, appearing live on NXT and instantly shaking up the division.
With Worlds Collide just days away and TNA’s Against All Odds streaming live this Friday at a special 10 PM EST start time, the ripple effects from this explosive NXT episode are already being felt. What’s next for Trick Williams? What will Mariah May’s arrival mean for the NXT Women’s Division? And how will these interpromotional shifts impact the future of WWE’s most dynamic brand?
