Tonight's episode of WWE NXT (February 17, 2026) emanates out of the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida and airs at 8 p.m. ET on the CW Network.
This post will be updated throughout the evening to reflect live coverage of all the important information, noteworthy things that transpire, winners for all the match results, recaps of promo/talking segments and more. Keep refreshing for the most up-to-date results!
Preview & Predictions for WWE NXT:
On tap for tonight's episode, Ethan Page is set to put his North American Championship on the line against Shiloh Hill. If he retains, he'll have the record for the most defenses for that belt's history. With that in mind, I would have to assume that's likely the outcome, especially since Hill is still very new to the roster (even though I think he's done a great job so far).
Lola Vice looks to get some revenge on Kelani Jordan for the latter attacking her hand. Logically, Vice should come up short as she should have an injured hand that hurts her throughout the match, but it wouldn't shock me if she ended up winning somehow.
Elio LeFleur and Eli Knight will face off to determine who gets a shot at Jasper Troy's WWE Speed Championship next week. Since Troy wrecked both of them last week, I think it almost doesn't matter who wins, but I do think if LeFleur is victorious, he could beat Troy with better chances than Knight.
Tony D'Angelo will assuredly beat Cutler James, who can't possibly just deal with that issue and end the DarkState feud immediately, and when it comes to the Fatal 4-Way to determine who gets the next shot at the NXT Tag Team Championship, I'm leaning toward OTM over The Culling, The Belly Boys, and The Vanity Project, mostly because they're put in the more prominent babyface positioning right now, despite how they've had some opportunities and come up short in the past.
Here are your results for WWE NXT - February 17, 2026:
- Kelani Jordan defeated Lola Vice by submission.
- Joe Hendry went after Ricky Saints. Later, they had a promo segment where it became official they will fight for the NXT Championship at Vengeance Day.
- Also scheduled for Vengeance Day will be Izzi Dame against Tatum Paxley for the NXT Women's North American Championship, which was spoken about with a vignette from The Culling talking about how Dame will retain and Shawn Spears and Niko Vance are coming for the tag team titles.
- Tony D'Angelo defeated Cutler James by pinfall.
- There was a backstage segment where Ethan Page was talking to The Vanity Project when Myles Borne interrupted, planning on getting a title shot that Page doesn't want to give him.

- A vignette aired about Keanu Carver, who fights Sean Legacy next week.
- Robert Stone told Joe Hendry to leave the building due to his issues with Ricky Saints.
- Speaking of issues, Zaria told Sol Ruca to go to hell because their relationship has always been one-sided and last week was the last straw, with Ruca getting the pin in their match and earning her title shot.
- Jacy Jayne (with Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid) talked trash about Sol Ruca, who came out for a confrontation in the ring, leading to a 3-on-1 beat down until Zaria made the save and hugged it out with Ruca.
- WWE Speed Tournament Final: Elio LeFleur vs Eli Knight fought to a time limit draw. They will both get the shot at Jasper Troy next week in a triple threat.
- Uriah Connors hasn't fully convinced Charlie Dempsey to join Birthright yet. Next week, Connors faces Kale Dixon.

- NXT North American Championship Match: Ethan Page (c) defeated Shiloh Hill by pinfall. After the match, Myles Borne made the save to help Hill fight off Page and The Vanity Project, eventually coaxing Page to agree to a title match before stomping on his ankle that he had wedged between a steel chair.
