WWE NXT Results 12/2 - Eight-Man Tag Match And More!

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s results of "WWE NXT" on December 2, 2025! It is a beautiful Tuesday evening at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, where the entirety of WWE's developmental roster will be feeling the fallout of Gold Rush Weeks One and Two.

The final moments of Gold Rush Week Two saw DarkState descend upon Myles Borne, following his victory in an Iron Survivor Challenge Qualifying match against former "NXT" Champion Trick Williams. Borne managed to leave Madison Square Garden in one piece that night, but only thanks to the interfering hands of Je'Von Evans, Leon Slater, and Joe Hendry. Tonight, we'll see Borne, Evans, Slater, and Hendry join forces against DarkState in a spectacular Eight-Man Tag Team Match. The catch? All four men on Team Borne are also enrolled in "NXT" Deadline's upcoming Iron Survivor Challenge. Can they coexist, or will their conflicting interests allow DarkState to squeeze out a victory?

Elsewhere on the card, the Women's Iron Survivor Challengers will meet for a summit! Kelani Jordan, who was recently dethroned for her TNA Knockouts Championship at Gold Rush Week Two, will meet with Jordynne Grace, Sol Ruca, Lola Vice, and EVOLVE Women's Champion Kendal Grey. All five women were hand-picked by John Cena to compete for a chance at Jacy Jayne's "NXT" Women's Championship, but who will claim a victory in Tuesday night's war of words ahead of Deadline?

Tonight's "NXT" escapades will also see us revisit the heated rivalry between Josh Briggs and Tavion Heights. After Briggs assaulted Heights in a backstage segment during Gold Rush Week One, the two men will settle their differences in singles action.

And we are live! Booker T is absent, with Corey Graves filling in the seat beside Vic Joseph. Ava is already in the ring with all five Women's Iron Survivor participants.

Ava opens the floor to all five participants. Sol Ruca speaks first, mentioning her Gold Rush Week 2 interaction with Ethan Page. Ruca dismisses Page overall, but acknowledges his christening of her as a champion-caliber performer. She mentions the difference between her two-title era with both the "NXT" Women's North American and WWE Women's Speed Championships and her current, titleless, era.

Jordynne Grace interrupts, and mentions how she's come too close to gold several times to lose again. Lola Vice jumps in, and tells Grace that she's not the only woman that's been grinding. She highlights that she has gotten "screwed" several times before, but is ready to get back up.

EVOLVE Women's Champion Kendal Grey takes to the microphone. She acknowledges that she will be an underdog in this match, but promises to rise to the occasion. She says that she is "built on big moments," but Kelani Jordan interrupts her to a sea of boos.

Jordan says that Grey is "swimming with the sharks, but there is blood in the water." The boos nearly drown out Jordan as she dismisses Grace and Vice's multiple failed title attempts. Jordan compares herself to the electrifying and unique Iron Survivor Challenge match format, and dismisses Grey, Jordan, and Vice for their inexperience in the Iron Survivor Challenge match type. Jordan shouts at the "NXT" crowd to shut up before Jacy Jayne and Fatal Influence interrupt.

Jayne comes to get a gander at the competition, but doubts any of the "losers" before her could ruin her "NXT" Women's Championship. Jayne highlights Ruca's "broken heart" and busted knee before calling Gray the "newest flavor of the week." She recalls both Vice and Grace's failed championship attempts, and highlights how Jordan lost her title at Gold Rush Week 2. Jordan blames her title loss to the "meathead" Grace, and Grace responds with a takedown.

A brawl breaks out. Vice, Grey, and Ruca stand tall and together against Jayne, Fallon Henley, and Lainey Reid.

Hail and Hendry are already in the ring as Grace makes her entrance with Lorenzo. The bell rings, and Hail gives Grace a slap before the two lock up. Grace takes time during a resting hold to talk big game as she wrenches the younger Hail around. Hail responds with a drag to put Grace against the ropes, and Lorenzo attacks to distract Hail. It works, and Grace is able to nail Hail with a neckbreaker before blowing a kiss to Lorenzo.

Into the corner they go! Grace talks big game as she mocks Hendry, which gives Hail enough time to recover for a series of flash pins. Neither work, and Grace clocks Hail with a stiff forearm. Hail sends Grace to the outside, where she leans on Stacks before Hail follows up to a suicide dive to the outside. Hail shoves Grace into the ring before laying her out with a suplex and running kick. Lorenzo continues to distract hail, and Hendry responds in kind with a chokeslam onto the apron.

It's not a long celebration for Hail, as Grace attempts to roll her up. Hail catches her in an Kimura Lock, and Grace immediately taps.

Winner: Thea Hail!

Ava announces that whoever scores the pin in the Eight-Man Tag Match between Je'Von Evans, Leon Slater, Myles Borne, and Joe Hendry vs. Darkstate will pick his entry spot in Deadline's Iron Survivor Challenge.

There is no love lost between these two men! Briggs interrupts Heights' entrance, and it's an all-out brawl. Both men get in the ring to start the match, and Heights gives Briggs his receipt in the form of some forearm strikes. Briggs gets cornered, but a boot gives him an escape route. He lands a chokeslam and a forearm onto Heights before going for a near-pin, but Heights kicks out.

A corner skirmish turns into a big suplex from Heights to Briggs, and the Olympian follows up with an incredible clothesline. It's not enough for a full fall, but Briggs looks rocked as Heights connects with two big slams. Heights gives Briggs some forearms before Briggs responds with one of his own, but Heights turns the following big boot into a Fisherman's Slam. It's not enough for Heights to get the pinfall, and the men continue.

The two men are wasted on the mat, but Heights is the first man up. He lays stiff blows onto Brigg's back, and Briggs can only find his way out by grabbing Heights' singlet to toss him out of the ring. Briggs attempts to exert control on the outside, but Heights picks him up and slams him into the crowd barricade! The "NXT" crowd begin chanting as the two men are down amidst the rubble!

During the commercial break, Heights comes to his feet first, and it's more of the same blows to Briggs' back. The two men get back into the ring, and Briggs lays waste to Heights. He pummels Heights in the corner with some brutal stomps before taking his opponent to the center of the ring. Heights is gasping for breath, but stays in the match despite the heavy offense. Briggs traps Heights' arm in the ring rope before the referee forces him away. Briggs continues to lay the hurt onto Heights, but the Olympian kicks out at every turn. Heights squirms as Briggs cinches in an arm lock.

Back from the break, Heights has a brief flash of life as he breaks out from Briggs' armlock, but Briggs responds with a heavy slam. It's another arm-based submission attempt from Briggs, but Heights powers out. It's Heights' turn to lay on the pain, and it comes in the form of some strikes and a nasty dropkick. Heights' arm problem only gets worse as Briggs trips him into the corner, where his armpit ricochets off of the sturdy bottom rope. Briggs sends Heights into the opposite corner, and tussles with his hair and face before sending him across the ring and into the corner again. Briggs plays elementary school bully, but the third corner-whip fails him, as Heights dodges to come back to life! Heights stuns with a comeback sequence that ends in a Slingblade Slam.

Both men are noticeably weary, and Briggs attempts to end the match by striking Heights with a chain-wrapped fist. While the referee disposes of the illegal weapon, Heights lands a powerful slam onto Briggs, and the referee's delayed count allows for Briggs to get his foot on the ropes. While Heights argues with the referee, Briggs nearly decapitates him with a Big Boot. One devastating lariat was all Briggs needs to score the pinfall on his rival.

Winner: Josh Briggs!

Izzi Dame begins to address the "NXT" crowd. She highlights that she's given Tatum Paxley plenty of opportunities, and implies that Paxley was a wasted effort. Dame denies that she "betrayed" Paxley, and asserts that she "corrected a mistake." The mistake in question? Assuming that Paxley was an equal. Dame takes credit for digging Paxley out of her slump, and claims that she "carved purpose" into Paxley. The "NXT" crowd chants "We want Tatum" as Dame highlights Paxley's naivete and repeated self-esteem issues.

Dame claims that Paxley wasted the gifts provided to her by Dame and The Culling. She takes credit for building Paxley as a champion, and questions if Paxley could have done it on her own. She claims that Paxley only became the "NXT" Women's Champion because Dame allowed her to, and that her Gold Rush betrayal was only overdue recompense for her services. She then lays down the challenge to Paxley: a match at Deadline. She promises Paxley that she will end the "version of [Paxley] that refused to evolve."

Paxley's voice comes over the Titantron, and she is seen sitting in tears in The Culling's typical spot. Paxley asks Dame why she tore apart their relationship, but Dame challenges her to come out to the ring and speak face-to-face. Paxley refuses, and, in tears, confesses that at Deadline, she will "have to" make Dame feel all of her pain.

Vice and Reid look to start the match, but all six women quickly get involved after Reid disrespects Vice with some shoves. While each woman's teammates brawl, Vice lays out Reid with a Bronco Buster to the outside. Henley neutralizes Vice with a swing from the post, only to have her party spoiled by a flying Grey. Jayne gets in the mix with a Senton to the outside, but Ruca neutralizes the opposition with a magnificent moonsault to the outside.

Back in the ring, Vice is not pulling her signature strikes. She ragdolls Reid into the corner in time for Ruca to tag in, and the two of them stun with tag team synergy before Ruca pulls out a Standing Moonsault to lay the hurt onto Reid. Reid manages to find her footing with some strikes, and tags in Henley. The former and current WWE Women's Speed Champions lock up, and it's Ruca who stands tall ahead of the tag to Grey. Grey effortlessly tosses Henley over her shoulders, but Henley quickly reverses things to drive Grey into the ringpost. Grey slips and slides her way out of the corner, and nearly knocks Henley's lights out with a dropkick. Henley manages to get back in her corner to tag in Reid, who soars with a dropkick before attempting a pinfall on Grey. Grey kicks out, and Reid's body goes flying with a Suplex. Jayne tags in, and Grey goes for multiple flash pins. No success either way.

Fatal Influence is effective in their tags, as Reid makes a sneaky tag to become the legal woman. While the referee is admonishing Jayne for staying in the match, Reid and Henley lay serious pain onto Grey. The three of them taunt the camera going into commercial break.

The commercials are on, but the action is not stopping. Fatal Influence continue to effectively split the ring, and Grey is but a ragdoll in their corner as Jayne stomps her broken body. Grey falls with a resounding thud as Jayne knocks her in the throat with an elbow, and Jayne tags back in Henley to continue the torture. Grey looks limp as Henley sends her knees into her chest, and after taunting Vice, Henley sends Grey into the corner and into the jaws of Reid. Grey pathetically reaches for her teammates, only to be picked up by Reid. Grey finds enough life in her for a flash pin reversal, but Reid responds quickly to drag Grey away from her teammates. Reid lands a double-hand axe onto Grey, and Grey is desperately clinging onto the ropes as Henley is tagged in once more. Henley gets Grey into a resting neck hold as Ruca and Vice try to rally their ally. It works, and Grey finds enough life to fight back against Henley. It's not enough, however, as Henley continues to drag Grey into Fatal Influence's corner for yet another tag to Jayne. Fatal Influence cycle through their fighters.

Back from commercial, and it's another tag to Reid. After laying out Grey with a Flapjack, Reid goes in for a flip. Jayne is the legal woman, and curses out the referee before nearly knocking Grey's teeth out with a Superkick. The Fatal Influence cycle continues as Henley is tagged in, but their attempted tag-team move fails as Grey lands on her feet and lands the hot tag onto Vice!

Vice runs in with a vengeance, with her signature strikes leaving all Fatal Influence members broken and battered in the corners! Vice dashes across the ring as she levels Jayne and Reid with hip attacks, but don't think Henley is spared — that's a suplex! Ruca is in now, and she is not wasting any time. She drops Henley's neck onto her knee and goes in for the pin, but Fatal Influence is there to respond. Jayne levels Vice and Grey with a Superkick, but Ruca gives the "NXT" Women's Champion her receipt. Unfortunately, she finds herself in Fatal Influence's corner, and all three women work together to flatten Ruca with offensive maneuver after offensive maneuver. It's chaos as Vice and Grey come in to respond. Henley levels both women before her face is driven mat-first by Ruca. Jayne rushes to capitalize on a battered Ruca, but finds herself at the end of a springboard Sol Snatcher. She is down for one, two, three!

Winners: Sol Ruca, Lola Vice, and Kendal Grey!

Zaria has charged in to the post-match celebrations like a raging bull! She folds Grey in half as Ruca dodges a deadly Spear, and Jayne watches on with an amazed smile as Ruca and Zaria begin arguing. Ruca shoves Zaria, and Vice has to separate the two as the segment ends. 

Bronco Nima and Lucien Price of OTM make their way to the ring.

Put your hands up and get your letterman jackets: Chase U are making their entrance! Chase U attack OTM before the match starts, however, and level OTM with a double Suicide Dive. Uriah Connors drags Price in before going to the top for an incredible Moonsault, but Price just manages to hang out. Nima gets involved, and the tag match is underway as the chaos simmers down.

It's Price's turn to be at a beatdown's tail end — that is, until he scores the hot tag. Kale Dixon is up to bat, and he quickly overwhelms both Nima and Price. Dixon's overconfidence, however, gets the best of him, and OTM overwhelm him with heavy chops and big stomps. OTM knock the air out of Dixon with some tag team moves, with Pricelaying Dixon out with a Chokeslam for the exclamation point.

Connors and Nima are in now, and Connors runs circles around the OTM member. Connors looks for a Springboard Stunner, but Nima intercepts — only to be met with a devastatingly athletic DDT anyway! Price comes in to break up the pin, and Dixon responds with several kicks to his abdomen. A tag team Superkick seals the deal on that group project, and the two men continue to overwhelm OTM. Connors finally lands his Springboard Stunner, but it seems Chase U's overconfidence gets the better of them. OTM pluck the airborne Dixon and Connors out of the air before slamming them together. Nima brings Connors back into the ring, and OTM lands one of their finishers to score the pinfall on Connors.

Winners: Lucien Price and Bronco Nima!

Shiloh Hill continues to host Show-and-Tell via another video package!

Hendry, Slater, and Evans make their entrances on air. Borne unfortunately is cursed to have his entrance during an ad break. DarkState approaches, and all four men square off. 

Borne and Osiris Griffin start the night's main event, and Griffin pumps his pecs in a display of dominance in between laying the pain on Borne. Saquon Shugars is up next, and he manhandles Borne's head, but Borne responds with a powerslam! He goes for a near-fall, but no dice. Borne and Hendry perform some tag team action on Shugars before Hendry takes the reigns. He puts some heavy offense onto Shugars, but fails to get the pinfall.

Cutler James is up next, but Hendry quickly figures him out. Leon Slater tags in, and he and Evans lay some high-octane offense onto James. Evans knocks the wind out of James with a double stomp to the back of the neck, but fails to get the pinfall. He follows things up with some chops, but James wins in that battle of strength, as a single forearm flattens Evans to the mat. Evans takes a trip to DarkState's corner, and Iron Survivor Challenge participant Dion Lennox is in the ring. He lays some strikes onto Evans, but Evans responds with a picture-perfect Hurricanrana before tagging in Borne. Evans sets Borne up for a chop onto Lennox, but Borne fumbles the momentum provided to him as Shugars pairs up with Lennox.

The chaos brings all men into the ring, and it is an eight-man slugfest! Bodies tumble out of the ring haphazardly. Limbs are pulled, chests are caved in, and men are plucked from mid-air as Evan and Slater's double-team dive goes awry. DarkState look to be coming out on top as Hendry is sent into the staircase, and Shugars mocks Borne with some aggressive ear-based taunts as the show goes into commercial break.

Shugars and Borne return to the ring as some semblance of in-ring order is re-established, and despite the beatdown, Borne manages to kick out of Shugars' pin attempt. Borne manages to overpower Shugars and get him into an arm lock, and in his attempt to escape, Shugars inadvertantly climbs right into Team Borne's corner. Slater tags himself in, and is merciless in his takedown of Shugars. Shugars finally gets some breathing room, and that means its time to tag in James. James puts pressure on Slater, but the wily TNA X-Division Champion wiggles out...and right into DarkState's corner. Lennox re-enters the fight to cinch in a lock on Slater's neck, but Slater refuses to yield. He manages to turn things around, and tosses Lennox up and over — just long enough to get the tag on Evans.

Back from commercial break, and things are less-than-great for Evans. He has been backed into DarkState's corner, and despite laying some strikes onto Shugars, he cannot make the tag. Shugar attempts to take him back to DarkState's corner, but Evans soars, and manages to tag in Hendry! The TNA export clocks two DarkState members with stiff lariats, but Lennox comes in to ruin any faith in Hendry.

Griffin is back in the mix, and he is manhandling the beloved wrestling musician. Hendry bounces off of the corner and the ropes as Griffin targets his head, throat, and chest. Things don't get much better under Shugars, who tags in to continue laying hurt onto Hendry. Hendry attempts to wiggle free for a hot tag, but Shugars and a recently tagged-in James are there to stop him. James tags in Lennox after failing to do much to Hendry, and Lennox looks confident as he locks in the Guillotine onto Hendry.

Lennox's first mistake was doubting Hendry's strength, as Hendry manages to muscle the DarkState member up and into a stalling suplex! Evans and Slater spring into action after Slater is tagged in, but the high-flying athletes are no match for the combined strength of multiple DarkState members.

It seems that their overconfidence will be their undoing, as Slater manages to turn their four-man finisher into a double Dropkick. The breathing room allows him to tag in Evans, who leaps and flips across the ring to neutralize Shugars, Lennox, and James. It's getting hot in here as Evans takes off his shirt in a feat of passion!

This match still marches on after DarkState break up a pin from Evans onto Griffin following a truly spectacular series of cutters from the young SuperStar! Boddies litter the floor as DarkState and Team Borne begin brawling with reckless abandon. Evans tees-up Slater for one of his signature dives, but before he can take flight, Borne tags himself in! After a brief moment of confusion, Borne commands Slater to go for it, and Evans looks downright astounded as Slater allows for Borne to land his finisher. Borne gains the pinfall — and the Iron Survivor entrance order privilege — but not without the ire of his teammates.

Winners: Myles Borne, Je'Von Evans, Leon Slater, and Joe Hendry!

The main event has concluded, but the show is not done. We cut to a dark room, where Ava presents challenger Oba Femi and "NXT" Champion Ricky Saints with a contract for their title match at Deadline. Femi and Starks stare each other down.

Femi reminds Saints that he was compromised during their first face-off at "NXT" No Mercy, burdened by a long title reign. He signs the contract, and stands. Starks mirrors him. Femi promises to destroy Saints, and condemns him to be a mere "footnote" within the story of "The Ruler's" legacy in "NXT" and WWE.

Saints ponders the consequences that follow, should he drop his "NXT" Championship at Deadline, but says that "they'll never know" such a reality. He reminds Femi that he is the "NXT" Champion, and that he is the exception to Femi's rules, and "Ruler" title. Saints puts his pen to paper. Ava announces that, at Deadline, the "NXT" Championship match will open the show, for the first time in the title — and "NXT's" — history. Saints whispers "perfect" under his breath as he and Femi stare each other down.
