WWE NXT Gold Rush Week One Results 11/18 - NXT Women's Championship On The Line, Three Other Titles Up For Grabs

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s live coverage for "WWE NXT" Gold Rush Week One on November 18, 2025, coming to you live from The Theatre At Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York!

Tatum Paxley of The Culling will be putting the NXT Women's Championship on the line tonight as she defends against Fatal Influence's Jacy Jayne. Not only did Paxley previously dethrone Jayne as NXT Women's Champion at "NXT" Halloween Havoc on October 25, but Jayne also convinced Paxley to give her a title shot in a verbal exchange between the pair during last Tuesday's edition of "NXT" despite Paxley's stablemate Izzi Dame's best attempt to try talking Paxley out of agreeing.

Three other titles will be on the line tonight, as Sol Ruca looks to win back the Women's North American Championship tonight when she challenges current titleholder Blake Monroe. Although Ruca was sidelined with a knee injury and Monroe won the title by defeating Ruca's ally Zaria (who defended on Ruca's behalf) at Halloween Havoc, Ruca has insisted that she's ready to return to action after being medically cleared despite lingering concerns from Zaria and "NXT" General Manager Ava.

Osiris Griffin and Dion Lennox of DarkState will be putting the NXT Championship on the line for the first time since becoming two time titleholders at Halloween Havoc when they dethroned "Broken" Matt Hardy and Brother Nero in a Broken Rules Match as they defend against Je'Von Evans and reigning TNA Wrestling X-Division Champion Leon Slater. After Evans challenged Griffin and Lennox to tonight's match last Tuesday, himself and Slater managed to outsmart DarkState when they tried to get the better of them with the number's game by pretending that Slater wasn't in the Performance Center and having him present during the segment virtually.

Chelsea Green and Ethan Page will be putting the AAA World Mixed Tag Team Championship on the line for the first time since dethroning AAA stars LA Hiedra and Mr. Iguana at AAA Alianzas on November 2 as they defend against Thea Hail and TNA star Joe Hendry. Hail managed to score a win over Green's ally Alba Fyre last Tuesday as Green, Page, and Hendry watched on from ringside.

We are live! The show kicks off with a video recapping the vents that have led to all four title matches tonight.

Vic Joseph and Booker T then greet audiences at home as Thea Hail and Joe Hendry make their way to the ring. Chelsea Green, Ethan Page, and Alba Fyre follow.

Hail and Green begin the action. The bell rings and Hail delivers a kick to Green's chest. She mocks Green by waving her hands in the air for her, but Page and Hendry tag in. Hendry and Page lock up, but Hendry delivers a delayed vertical suplex to Page and goes for a pin. Green breaks the fall and sends Hail crashing into the top turnbuckle face first as Hendry brawls with Page, but Hail dropkicks Green into Page.

Hendry levels Page with a back elbow and goes for a pin during the commercial break, but Page kicks out and lands an open palm strike on Hendry. He rains down right hands on Hendry, but Green rakes Hendry across the bottom rope while Page distracts the referee. Page jams his boot into Hendry's face, then lands a codebreaker on Hendry back from the break and goes for a pin.

Hendry kicks out, but Page wears him down with a front face lock. Hendry counters into a vertical suplex, then follows it up with a Fallaway Slam and kips up. Hail then tags in and delivers a Coffin Drop to Page and Fyre off the middle rope on the outside. Page sends Hendry crashing into the ring apron spine first, but Green sends Hail crashing into the ring apron. She dumps Hail in the ring, but Hail cinches in a Kimura Lock on Green. Green escapes and connects with the Unprettier on Hail, then pins her for the win.

Winners (and still): Chelsea Green and Ethan Page

We then head backstage, where Ava explains that one person will be selecting all the competitors in the Men's and Women's Iron Survivor Challenges at "NXT" Deadline: John Cena.

We then head over to Sarah Schreiber standing by with Tavion Heights in the crowd. Heights pleads his case to Cena for competing in this year's Men's Iron Survivor Challenge, but Josh Briggs blindsides him out of nowhere and the pair begin brawling with one another.

We then head backstage and see Zaria ask Sol Ruca if she's sure she wants to challenge Blake Monroe for the Women's North American Championship. Ruca insists she's good to compete.

Back at ringside, Monroe then makes her way out. Ruca and Zaria follow.

The bell rings and the two lock up. Ruca rolls up Monroe, but Monroe kicks out and Ruca sends her crashing into the mat with a spinning front face slam. She follows it up with a thrust kick to her head, but Monroe fires off kicks on Ruca's injured knee and wrenches on it to continue targeting it. Ruca escapes and delivers a shotgun dropkick to Monroe that sends her crashing into the corner, then sends her knee bouncing off the ring post twice.

During the commercial break, Monroe sends Ruca crashing into the top turnbuckle repeatedly. Ruca cinches in a Bow and Arrow on Monroe and sends her crashing into the mat face first with a kick to her spine, then follows it up with a standing moonsault to her. Monroe sends Ruca's knee bouncing off her shoulder and mocks Ruca by pretending her own knee is injured, then places Ruca's leg on the bottom rope and sits out on it.
