We’re LIVE from the Capital Wrestling Center!! Tonight begins qualifying matches for the NXT Deadline, let’s dive right in!
Lash Legend & Jakara Jackson vs. Giulia & Stephanie Vaquer
The match kicked off with Giulia and Lash Legend exchanging taunts. Lash, looking for a test of strength, quickly found herself on the receiving end of a gut punch from Giulia. Giulia took control with a headlock, but Lash escaped and launched a pump kick. Jakara tagged in, and the duo hit Giulia with a drop-toe hold and elbow drop combo, followed by a basement dropkick from Jakara for a near fall. Giulia countered with an Octopus-style submission and tagged in Vaquer, who nailed Jakara with a 619 and basement dropkick.
As Jakara regained momentum with a missile dropkick, Lash stormed in with heavy strikes. A counter from Vaquer allowed Giulia to return, where she hit a tilt-a-whirl sunset flip bomb on Jackson. Giulia and Vaquer worked together, finishing with a double underhook backbreaker from Vaquer and stereo knee strikes to secure the win.
Winner: Giulia & Stephanie Vaquer
Iron Survivor Qualifier: Sol Ruca vs. Cora Jade
Cora Jade took her time coming down from the top rope, talking trash before Sol Ruca put her in her place, flipping her to the mat and landing a facebuster. Cora recovered, landing a double stomp for a near fall, then kept the pressure on with a series of knee strikes. Sol countered with a jawbreaker and shoulder blocks, maintaining control with a clothesline.
After narrowly avoiding Cora’s DDT, Sol capitalized with the Sol Snatcher, pinning Cora for the win and qualifying for the Iron Survivor.
Winner: Sol Ruca
Byron Saxton interviewed Kelani Jordan ahead of her rematch, and she expressed her determination since Halloween Havoc. Jacy and Jazmyn stepped in, trying to rattle her confidence, but Kelani responded with a steely determination, warning that it’s “on sight” if they interfere.
Nikkita Lyons vs. Adriana Rizzo
The bell rang, and Rizzo wasted no time, striking Lyons with punches and a dropkick in the corner. Lyons countered by tossing Rizzo and attempting a pinfall. Rizzo gained some momentum with a knee strike and tried to springboard into a forearm, only for Lyons to catch her, slam her with a full-nelson, and toss her for a near fall. After some back-and-forth, Lyons nailed Rizzo with a Vader Bomb to take the victory.
Winner: Nikkita Lyons
Zaria appeared in a vignette, declaring that she’s here to “rip and tear.” She called herself a force of chaos and destruction and promised that at Deadline, her identity would be fully revealed to the NXT universe.
WWE NXT Women’s North American Championship Match: Fallon Henley vs. Kelani Jordan
The main event of the night saw Fallon Henley defending her title against Kelani Jordan. The two locked up aggressively, jockeying for position with arm drags and dropkicks. Kelani showcased her agility with a rolling cartwheel back elbow and a high-flying SSP. Fallon battled back, dodging a split-legged moonsault attempt by Kelani, but just as the momentum was shifting, Jacy interfered by placing Fallon’s foot on the ropes to break the count.
As chaos ensued, with Kelani fending off both Jacy and Jazmyn, Fallon capitalized on the distraction to hit her Famouser finisher, securing the pinfall and retaining her championship.
Winner: Fallon Henley
