Preview & Predictions for WWE NXT:
On tap for tonight's episode, Ricky Starks is going to sign his NXT contract. Of course, he's already signed a real one, but in kayfabe, that's somehow still yet to be done. WWE continues to go out of their way to not ever refer to him as Ricky Starks, constantly just saying things like "a game-changing signing" and whatnot, which fuels speculation that he will end up changing his name. There is also a chance he reveals he's the mastermind behind the new group of Dion Lennox, Osiris Griffin, Cutler James and Saquon Shugars, who haven't been properly identified, nor given a group name or anything since their attacks at WWE Vengeance Day.
This episode will also deal with the fallout of that pay-per-view, including Stephanie Vaquer defeating Fallon Henley to win the NXT Women's North American Championship. As part of that, she needs a new challenger, so a Triple Threat match will determine the No. 1 contender between Karmen Petrovic, Kelani Jordan, and Jaida Parker. My guess is Jordan will win, but it's pretty much a coin toss, and could easily be won by Parker or Petrovic just the same.
Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo will likely fail in his quest to get some revenge on Shawn Spears. He's more of a sacrificial lamb right now to set up Spears against Tony D'Angelo for the Men's North American Championship.
Lastly, The Meta Girls (Jakara Jackson and Lash Legend) are in action against Sol Ruca and Zaria. Given the latter two is the bigger focal point team, they're more likely to be victorious tonight.
Here are your results for WWE NXT February 18, 2025:
- Oba Femi opened the show looking for a fight for the still-as-yet-unnamed new faction (I'm getting so tired of writing that stuff out). Surprisingly, Moose from TNA showed up instead. The X Division champion said a match between them needs to happen, and Femi said "it will" and...that's it. No announcements or action or anything.
- Footage was shown of Eddy Thorpe, Uriah Connors, and Kale Dixon in Ava's office. Thorpe spoke poorly about Andre Chase, so Connors and Dixon want a match with Thorpe.
- No. 1 Contender Triple Threat Match: Karmen Petrovic defeated Kelani Jordan and Jaida Parker by pinfall on Jordan through an assist from Ashante "Thee" Adonis pushing Petrovic onto the pin (which she arguably stole from Parker). After the match, Fatal Influence attacked Petrovic during the commercial break. Stephanie Vaquer, Giulia, and Jordynne Grace came out to fight them off and set up a six-woman tag for later.
- Zaria and Sol Ruca defeated Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson by pinfall.
- Sarah Schreiber interviewed Wes Lee, Tyriek Igwe and Tyson DuPont, but was distracted by Ricky Starks going by. This led to the contract signing segment. Long story short, Ricky Starks is now Ricky Saints, Ethan Page thinks he paved the way for Saints to come in, Je'Von Evans attacked Page, Lee came out to talk some trash, but got knocked out of the ring by Saints, and after a backstage segment later on that almost erupted into a brawl, Ava booked Lee and Page to face Saints and Evans next week.
- Another interview was interrupted, where Axiom and Nathan Frazer were talking to Sarah Schreiber when No Quarter Catch Crew's Myles Borne and Tavion Heights stole the time to challenge The Hardy Boys, who accepted for a match next week.
- Shawn Spears defeated Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo by pinfall.
- Backstage, Lexis King was complaining to Moose about TNA wrestlers getting NXT title shots, so Moose will put the X Division title on the line against King next week.
- Eddy Thorpe defeated Andre Chase by pinfall. Following the match, Trick Williams appeared on the TitanTron to say if he's going down, he's taking Thorpe with him.
- Six-Woman Tag Team Match: Giulia, Stephanie Vaquer & Jordynne Grace defeated Fatal Influence (Fallon Henley, Jacy Jayne & Jazmyn Nyx) by pinfall.
- Robert Stone was attacked and Ava's office was trashed by Lennox, James, Griffin and Shugars.
