Tonight's episode of WWE NXT (October 27, 2026) emanates from WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida and will air starting at 8 p.m. ET on The CW Network.
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, NXT North American Champion Jackson Drake puts his title on the line against EK Prosper after NXT General Manager Robert Stone ordered the championship defense following the cancellation of last week's Six-Man Tag Team Match involving The Vanity Project.
The 2026 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic reaches the semifinals as NXT Tag Team Champions The Vanity Project, represented by Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes, face Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno. In the other semifinal, Hank Walker and Tank Ledger battle AAA World Tag Team Champions Los Wagner Brothers, El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. and Galeno. The winners advance to the tournament final, which is scheduled for Halloween Havoc.
Saquon Shugars also goes one-on-one with Sean Legacy, while Lizzy Rain faces Chantel Monroe following their recent backstage confrontation. With Halloween Havoc taking place Saturday, this is the final episode of NXT before the Halloween-themed special.
Regarding predictions for all of this, the Dusty Cup has had more than a few surprises in it, so I'm no longer as confident as I was about how that is going to play out. Hank and Tank beating The Creed Brothers, in particular, was a shocker to me. But I'll go with Wagner and Galeno as well as The Vanity Project. I don't anticipate Jackson Drake dropping his title to EK Prosper, Chantel Monroe should beat Lizzy Rain to get a good start for her new position on the NXT roster, and Sean Legacy is pretty firmly in a "guy who can lose" spot, so I think Saquon pulls out that victory, unless the game plan is to try to say that Shugars is indeed getting in his own way and others prove it. I just think Shugars could be more of the next in line for the North American title, instead, and on a way up, rather than down.
Here are your results for WWE NXT - October 27, 2026:
- Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Semifinal Match: Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno defeated The Vanity Project (Brad Baylor & Ricky Smokes) by pinfall.

Montana also took issue with Lennox bringing his family into their feud.
- Chantel Monroe defeated Lizzy Rain by pinfall after reversing a roll-up and grabbing the ropes for leverage.

- Myles Borne and Tavion Heights confronted each other in the ring, with security keeping them apart. Borne accused Heights of depending on him for his accomplishments, while Heights called Borne selfish and a backstabber.

- Robert Stone approached DarkState backstage and agreed to let Dion Lennox face Cruz Montana next week, but only in an Unsanctioned Match. Lennox accepted the stipulation.

- Zilla Fatu came out to spin the Halloween Havoc wheel to determine the stipulation for his match against Charlie Dempsey. Arianna Grace interrupted him and questioned whether he would be anything without the Fatu name. Before Fatu could respond, members of BirthRight disguised as druids attacked him with a shovel, targeting his injured hand. The wheel was never spun.
- Shiloh Hill appeared in a video practicing how to spit mist at a dummy ahead of his Halloween Havoc match against Naraku. Hill said he was now prepared to give Naraku a taste of his own medicine.
- Singles Match for the NXT North American Championship: Jackson Drake (c) defeated EK Prosper by pinfall to retain the title. The Vanity Project interfered throughout the match, with Myka Lockwood distracting the referee late in the contest. Kam Hendrix then appeared and shoved Prosper off the top turnbuckle, allowing Drake to hit his finishing move and score the victory.
- Zaria was approached for an interview in the parking lot and said Izzi Dame didn't know anything about her. She refused to elaborate on their upcoming Halloween Havoc match and told the cameraman to get out of her face.
- Grayson Waller came to the ring and mocked Tony D'Angelo, claiming he had always been one step ahead of him and that D'Angelo had gotten soft. When D'Angelo arrived at the Performance Center, Waller rushed outside to confront him. The two brawled in the parking lot and fought off attempts by security and officials to separate them. D'Angelo eventually threw Waller into the bed of his truck, with the fight still going as the show went off the air.
