Tuesday’s WWE NXT show at the Performance Center in Orlando, Florida featured one of two new matches set for the card of NXT Vengeance Day 2026.

This new match announced NXT Championship match of Ricky Saints vs. Joe Hendry (c).

This new match was initially setup over recent weeks shows over Saints and Hendry’s bad blood issues with each other. During tonight’s show, Hendry came out and talked about Saints ambush attack on him last week and if Ricky wants to jump him again, he is in the mood to kick Ricky’s ass around the building. Hendry then called out Saints, who appeared on the NXT balcony and proceeded to run down Hendry while boasting about himself as the real superstar and champion material.

After some more banter between the two, Saints issued a challenge for Hendry’s title at NXT Vengeance Day and Hendry accepted.

Tatum Paxley vs. Izzi Dame for NXT Women’s North American Title Set for NXT Vengenace Day 2026

This new match was initially setup over recent weeks shows over Paxley’s bad blood issues with Dame and The Culling. During tonight’s show, a video aired featuring Dame watching Paxley’s promo video from last week’s show. The Culling’s Nico Vance and Shawn Spears showed up and asked what was going on. Dame talked about her issues with Paxley and revealed that she will be defending her title against Paxley at NXT Vengeance Day.

The Vanity Wins Shot at NXT Tag Titles

Tuesday’s WWE NXT show also featured Vanity Project (Brad Baylor & Ricky Smokes) defeating Hank & Tank (Hank Walker & Tank Ledger), OTM (Bronco Nima & Lucien Price), and The Culling (Nico Vance & Shawn Spears) in a #1 Contender Fatal Four-way match for the NXT Tag Team Championship.

As a result of their victory, The Vanity Project will be facing off against DarkState (Osiris Griffin & Saquon Shugars) for the NXT Tag Team Championship at next week’s show.

Myles Borne Gets NXT North American Title Shot for 2/24 Show

Tuesday’s NXT show also featured Myles Borne being granted a shot at the NXT North American Championship for next week’s show.

This match was initially setup over recent weeks shows over Borne trying to get a match for “All Ego” Ethan Page’s title and Page constantly rejecting the challenges. During tonight’s show, Borne confronted Page backstage only to be rejected once more over Page not being willing to put his title on the line against Borne since there was nothing he could do to convince him to accept it.

In a follow-up segment, Borne was seen backstage walking past Zaria and Sol Ruca only to stop for a brief talk. Borne stated that he knew exactly was he was going to do and left.

Following Page’s victory over Shiloh Hill to retain his NXT North American Championship, The Vanity Project got into the ring and proceeded to attack Hill leading to Page joining in on the beatdown. This led to Borne running out to save Hill and the two proceeded to clear the Vanity Project out of the ring. Borne then went up to Page and attacked him demanding a title shot. Page continued to refuse leading to Hill sliding a chair into the ring and Borne placing it on Page’s ankle. After some more threats by Borne about him stomping on the chair, Page finally relented and granted Borne his title match for next week’s show. As Borne walked away, Page mocked Borne saying he knew he wouldn’t do it, which led to Borne stomping on the chair and injuring Page’s ankle. This led to Borne grabbing the title and holding it up as NXT officials tried to separate him away from Page as the show went to a close.
