Preview & Predictions for WWE NXT Showdown:
On tap for tonight's episode, the theme of the night is NXT vs TNA, featuring two Survivor Series style tag team elimination matches and several titles on the line.
My theory on the outcome of all of this is that if they stick to just the four advertised matches, it will end up in a tie between the two companies so neither looks all that bad (even though NXT is consistently the better of the two), and I think the way to balance it between two wins each is rather simple.
Starting off, Ethan Page isn't losing the North American Championship to Mustafa Ali. That's an easy pick. Likewise, The Hardy Boyz aren't losing the TNA World Tag Team Championship to DarkState ahead of their match at Bound for Glory against The Dudley Boyz. Matt and Jeff walk out with the NXT tag team titles (which they've yet to win in their careers, so that checks that off their bucket list) and get to carry them into Bound for Glory to give some extra spotlight to that brand. Eventually, they'll lose them to some NXT tag team, but it'll be the first instance of someone from TNA holding a WWE title.
Then, when it comes to the men's and women's Survivor Series matches, the women's team for TNA is kind of a joke. It consists of all former WWE Superstars and one who currently is on NXT and not contracted in any way to TNA as the leader. As much as Jacy Jayne leading her team of babyfaces to victory seems odd, Jaida Parker, Lola Vice, and Sol Ruca are all treated rather well and I think they'll carry their team to the end.
On the other side, though, Ricky Saints is going to run into trouble with Trick Williams. I'm betting Trick walks out on his team or does something directly to Saints, leading to Mike Santana coming out on top for Team TNA. The only way that doesn't happen, I feel, is if Joe Hendry somehow acts like a total villain and screws over TNA as a mole for NXT, but since he's such an over babyface, that would be a mistake.
Here are your results for WWE NXT Showdown - October 7, 2025:
- The show opened with a video package about both NXT and TNA.
- Winners Take All Tag Team Championship Match: The Hardys (Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy) defeated DarkState (Dion Lennox and Osiris Griffin) by pinfall and are the new NXT tag team champions!
- Women's Survivor Series Elimination Tag Team Match (with special guest referee Jordynne Grace): Team NXT (Jacy Jayne, Jaida Parker, Sol Ruca and Lola Vice) defeated Team TNA (Kelani Jordan, Mara Sade, Cassie Lee and Jessie McKay) — Jordynne Grace was the special guest referee. The order of eliminations was Jaida Parker (by Mara Sade), Mara Sade (by Sol Ruca), Cassie Lee and Jessie McKay (by Lola Vice), Lola Vice (by Kelani Jordan), and Kelani Jordan (by Jacy Jayne), leaving Jayne and Ruca as the survivors of their team
- Backstage, Matt Cardona faked an apology to Ava about interfering in Josh Briggs' match from last week. She didn't believe it and he admitted it wasn't real. He just wanted to get involved. Briggs then stormed into Ava's office and demanded a match against Cardona. Ava booked that for next week.
- NXT North American Championship Match: Ethan Page (c) retained over Mustafa Ali by pinfall.
- El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. was being interviewed when Lexis King interrupted, thinking it was Tavion Heights under the mask again, only for Heights to pop up behind him after Wagner left. Wagner will face King next week.
- Zaria is upset with Sol Ruca for not vouching for her to join Team NXT. Ruca reminded Zaria that they'll be fighting for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship soon. Blake Monroe then told Zaria that she's being used by Ruca just so Ruca can keep her titles. Zaria said Monroe is just trying to use her to get to Ruca's belts, and Monroe clarified that she only has her eyes on the Women's North American Championship, before stating ominously that she wonders how long ZaRuca's friendship will last.
- Men's Survivor Series Elimination Tag Team Match: Team TNA (Mike Santana, Moose, Frankie Kazarian and Leon Slater) defeated Team NXT (Ricky Saints, Trick Williams, Myles Borne and Je'Von Evans). Joe Hendry was the special guest referee. The order of eliminations was Myles Borne (by Frankie Kazarian), Je'Von Evans (by Leon Slater), Trick Williams then walked out, Frankie Kazarian (by Ricky Saints), Leon Slater (by Ricky Saints), and Ricky Saints (by Mike Santana) leaving Mike Santana and Moose as the survivors.
