Results, match winners, promo segment notes and other major developments from NXT will be added below as the episode airs.
Preview & Predictions for WWE NXT:
On tap for tonight's episode, Cruz Montana goes one-on-one with DarkState's Dion Lennox following weeks of escalating hostility, including Lennox's backstage attack on Montana. The 2026 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic continues with two quarterfinal matches. The Creed Brothers, Julius Creed and Brutus Creed, face Hank Walker and Tank Ledger, while AAA World Tag Team Champions Los Wagner Brothers, El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. and Galeno, battle BirthRight members Lexis King and Charlie Dempsey. The Vanity Project's Jackson Drake, Ricky Smokes and Brad Baylor will also compete in a Six-Man Tag Team Match against EK Prosper, Mini Vikingo and Chazz "Starboy" Hall as the road to Halloween Havoc continues.
Prediction-wise, Montana and Lennox is the type of situation where you can flip a coin. Realistically, whoever wins will probably just lead to a gimmick match of sorts between the two at Halloween Havoc no matter what, so either Lennox cheats and Montana issues the challenge or Montana wins, Lennox (and possibly Osiris Griffin and Cutler James, though the rest of DarkState has been more absent lately) beats him up or something afterward, and they set up a "Trick or Street Fight" or something.
For the Dusty Cup, The Creed Brothers beating Hank and Tank is the surefire bet. Since that side of the bracket sets up Wagner and Galeno as the babyfaces to go up against the Creeds, I'd wager BirthRight comes up short and then costs Wagner and Galeno their future match against Brutus and Julius. The Vanity Project, meanwhile, should be victorious in their six-man tag, but I think a more likely outcome is that this is to set up EK Prosper getting a shot at Jackson Drake's North American Championship, so I'll say he picks up the victory for his team and they use that as a means to promote that future title opportunity.
