WWE NXT Results 5/20 - Zaria Collides With Kelani Jordan, Josh Briggs Squares Off With Shawn Spears

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s results for "WWE NXT" on May 20, 2025, coming to you live from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida!

Zaria and Kelani Jordan will both be returning to action tonight as they go head-to-head with one another. Not only did Zaria and Jordan square off on the May 6 episode of "NXT" with the former emerging victorious over the latter, but Jordan has also made it clear that she wants another shot at Zaria's ally Sol Ruca's Women's North American Championship.

Over the past few months, Josh Briggs has been teaming with Pro Wrestling NOAH star Yoshiki Inamura. However on May 6, Inamura told Briggs that his time in "NXT" had come to an end seeing as his excursion to the USA from Japan was over. Feeling lost, Briggs was subsequently approached by The Culling who had some choice words for him. Following such, Briggs looks to let his frustrations out and seek some retribution when he goes head-to-head with The Culling's Shawn Spears.

Sean Legacy will be competing in his first ever match on "NXT" programming as he collides with Ashante "Thee" Adonis and Je'Von Evans in a Triple Threat Match. The three men all competed in a 25 Man Number One Contenders Battle Royal for Oba Femi's NXT Championship on May 6, which was ultimately won by No Quarter Catch Crew member Myles Borne.

Additionally, OTM's Lucien Price and Bronco Nima will be competing in their first televised match on "NXT" programming as they take on Kale Dixon and Uriah Connors of Chase U. Trick Williams and TNA star Joe Hendry will also be performing a rap and playing the guitar respectively for the "NXT "Universe days before they collide in the ring for the TNA World Championship at "NXT" Battleground this coming Sunday.

We are live! Vic Joseph, Booker T, and Corey Graves greet audiences at home as Ricky Saints makes his way to the ring to join the commentary desk. Je'Von Evans, Sean Legacy, and Ashante Adonis all follow.

The bell rings and Adonis fires off right hands and stomps on Legacy in the corner. Legacy rolls up EVans, but Evans kicks out and delivers a back body drop to Adonis as Evans as a waist lock cinched on him. Evans looks to fly, but Legacy transitions into a roll-up. Evans kicks out.

Legacy dropkicks Evans out of the ring to join Adonis, but Adonis slides back in the ring and levels Legacy. Evans then sends Adonis crashing into the ring apron face first and flies to level him on the outside. Adonis then fires off right hands on Evans back inside the ring, but Legacy fires off chops on Adonis.

Adonis whips Legacy into the corner, then fires off shoulders on Legacy and Evans in opposite corners. Adonis connects with a DDT on Legacy, then hits a spinebuster on Evans on top of Legacy and pins both men. Evans and Legacy both kick out, and Adonis looks to land Sweet Chin Music on Legacy. Legacy catches Adonis' boot, but Evans sends Legacy crashing out of the ring with an enzuigiri.

Myles Borne then makes his way to the ring. Oba Femi follows.

Femi says he can't tell if Borne is stupid or brave, but it's gotten him this far. He says it's his understanding that Borne is fighting for more than the NXT Championship at Battleground, and while he finds it admirable that Borne is fighting for those who have disabilities, it can be misleading. He says when Borne steps into the ring with him at Battleground, his dream will die. He tells Borne to join the list of people he's taken out and things will end in the hands of him.

Borne says he may be in the ring with Femi alone, but he's not alone. He says he has been training with No Quarter Catch Crew and has created a community for every child who feels different and kids who don't fit in. He says Femi can underestimate him, but he wouldn't be the first to do so. He says nurses, doctors, opponents, and coaches have underestimated him, and he's been surviving battles since he's been born. He says he might be hard of hearing, but when he shocks the world at Battleground, fans will hear that three count loud and clear.

Jasper Troy blindsides Femi from behind and attacks him, but Borne comes to Femi's aid. Borne looks to help Femi up, but Femi refuses to accept Borne's help. He holds up the NXT Championship as he stares down Borne.

Lola Vice then makes her way out to the ring. Fatal Influence follows.

The bell rings and the two lock up. Vice lands a pair of kicks on Henley's chest and looks to land a third one, but Henley catches it. Vice then wears down Henley's leg with a Knee Bar and cinches in an arm submission on her, but Henley levels Vice with a forearm. Vice responds with a hurricanrana to Henley, but Henley sends Vice's head bouncing off the top rope and uses the ring post to level Vice with a kick.

Henley fires off kicks on Vice in the corner and jams her boot into her throat, then levels her with a clothesline and goes for a pin. Vice kicks out, but Henley wears her down with a submission before rolling her up once again. Vice kicks out, but Henley fires off a couple of elbows on Vice.

Henley and Vice exchange right hands with one another, but Vice fires off forearms on Henley's chest and fires off kicks on her. She then fires off more rapid fire kicks on Henley and looks to cinch in an Armbar on her, but Henley escapes by pinning Vice. Vice kicks out, but Jacy Jayne gets in her face from the apron. Vice then sends Henley crashing into Jayne and connects with the 305 on her for the win.

Joe Hendry then makes his way to the ring and begins playing his guitar as he takes shots at Trick Williams through a song to return the favor from Williams earlier tonight. Williams interrupts Hendry and levels him with a forearm, then connects with a spinning pump kick and charges at Hendry. Hendry hits Williams in the leg with his guitar, then sends him crashing into the mat with a chokeslam and stands tall holding up the TNA World Championship as the shoe goes off the air.
