Preview & Predictions for WWE NXT:
On tap for tonight's episode, Ricky Saints will have a contract signing opposite Trick Williams to make things official for their NXT Championship match set to go down at this weekend's Halloween Havoc premium live event. As always, expect there to be trash talk that leads to some fighting and someone going through the table. I don't think we'll be seeing any twists like Oba Femi being added to the match or other ideas I'm seeing tossed out there by other people. This should be pretty straightforward.
Two matches will take place for the tournament to crown the next No. 1 contender to El Grande Americano's WWE Speed Championship. "Super" Sean Legacy from EVOLVE will face SmackDown's Axiom while Jasper Troy will be in action against TNA Wrestling's Zachary Wentz. Legacy and Axiom could go either way. Technically, so could Wentz and Troy, but I'm leaning toward Troy winning, to go on to lose to whoever wins between Legacy and Axiom.
Hank and Tank will face OTM, who returned last week and attacked everyone in the Triple Threat tag team match. Expect Chase University and The Culling to get involved in this, too. Frankly, I'd be shocked if we don't get a Chase U and Hank & Tank vs OTM and The Culling match down the line out of this.
Leon Slater will defend the X Division Championship from TNA against Stacks. I don't by any means anticipate a title change happening here. By the way, where is the NXT Heritage Cup???
Here are your results for WWE NXT - October 21, 2025:
- The show opened with a promo from Tatum Paxley (along with The Culling) talking about her NXT Women's Championship match at Halloween Havoc. Jacy Jayne and Fatal Influence interrupted to talk down to Paxley and say she has no shot at winning. A fight ensued, and Dame and Paxley challenged Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid to a tag team match for later on.
- Backstage hype for the X Division Championship match was Stacks asking Arianna Grace to accompany him to ringside (and her clarifying he got the title shot because she pulled some strings with her father, Santino Marella) and him reminding her that he's not "Channing Lorenzo" anymore, but just Stacks.
- TNA X-Division Championship: Leon Slater (c) retained over Stacks by pinfall. Following the match, it was announced that Je'Von Evans and Leon Slater will be in a tag team match against La Parka and Mr. Iguana from AAA at Halloween Havoc.
- Speed Tournament Match: Jasper Troy defeated Zachary Wentz by pinfall.
- Kelani Jordan's been kicked out of the women's locker room because she had chosen to be on Team TNA at Showdown. Jordynne Grace tried to stand up for her, only for Jordan to get upset and say that Grace is jealous of her because she's yet to win a title in NXT.
- The Hardys revealed in a video package that the NXT Tag Team Championship match at Halloween Havoc will be a Broken Rules match.
- Since Sol Ruca is injured and they aren't sure when she'll be cleared to compete, Zaria will step in and defend the NXT Women's North American Championship on her behalf against Blake Monroe this Saturday.
- Speed Tournament Match: Axiom defeated "Super" Sean Legacy by pinfall.
- Vignette: Ethan Page talked about El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. to hype up their match for Halloween Havoc.
- OTM (Bronco Nima & Lucien Price) defeated The Belly Boys (Hank Walker & Tank Ledger) by pinfall.
- Fatal Influence (Jacy Jayne and Lainey Reid) defeated The Culling (Tatum Paxley & Izzi Dame) by pinfall Paxley ended up standing tall though after a post-match fight.
- Contract Signing: Ricky Saints and Trick Williams settle their Halloween Havoc match for the NXT Championship
