WWE NXT Results 12/9 - Deadline Fallout, Women's NA Championship Open Challenge, And More!

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s results for "WWE NXT," coming to you from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida this gorgeous December 9, 2025 evening! Things are going to be explosive this Tuesday as WWE's up-and-coming stars take to the ring to shape the division landscape post-Deadline. With Oba Femi as our new "NXT" Champion, Je'Von Evans and EVOLVE Women's Champion Kendal Grey as our Iron Survivors, and the return of Tony D'Angelo on the table, you'll want to just keep watching!

In the vein of Deadline fallout, Women's Iron Survivor match participants Kelani Jordan and Jordynne Grace will take to the ring tonight. Not only did Jordan and Grace both come up short in Deadline's Iron Survivor Challenge, but these two Superstars have been at each other's throats since Jordan's acquisition — and subsequent loss — of the TNA Knockouts Championships. Can they settle their differences in the ring tonight, or will they end 2025 with their teeth in each other's throats?

Elsewhere in the women's division, Blake Monroe is set to host an Open Challenge for her Women's North American Championship. Monroe snatched the title off of Sol Ruca through Zaria at Halloween Havoc, but has only defended the title once in her current-45 day reign. Who will answer "The Glamour's" call? Will Monroe be able to keep her head above water, or will she have to call upon her alter ego from Hell?

Speaking of champions, former "NXT" Tag Team Champions Hank Walker and Tank Ledger are set to return tonight. The two are returning to the states after a pilgrimage to Pro Wrestling NOAH in Japan. During their overseas excursion, they claimed the GHC Heavyweight Tag Team Champions, only to lose them just 13 days later. Will they take the lessons they learned in Japan back to Orlando, or will their "NXT" return tank magnificently?

After many weeks of video packages and interviews, Shiloh Hill is set to make his "NXT" debut. Hill's last televised match was on "WWE LFG: Legends and Future Greats," where he took a victory over Drake Morreaux in just over three minutes. Can Hill continue that momentum with his first appearance in Orlando tonight?

And we're live! We are greeted with a Deadline recap, delivered via video package. joined by Vic Joseph on play-by-play, and Booker T on color commentary.

Oba Femi performs a little jaunt down to the ring as the crowd chants "Oba" to his theme.

Power, Femi begins, does not bend, break, or begs. Femi acknowledges his Deadline opponent Ricky Saints, saying that he "momentarily knocked" Femi off his game. Regardless, "NXT" was not the same without Femi on top, and so the champion reclaimed his title.

Femi calls out Cody Rhodes, his "Saturday Night's Main Event" opponent. He says that Rhodes won't see potential, or a future threat. Rhodes will see, instead, the "now —" danger in the present.

The recently-dethroned Saints comes out to interrupt the new "NXT" titleholder. He congratulates Femi on his title win, and acknowledges him. Saints says that he is man enough to admit that Femi was the better man at Deadline. He begins to ponder over what is next for his "NXT" career, and momentarily worries that another "NXT" Championship reign is past him.

Such worries are only temporary. Saints stakes another challenge onto Femi, claiming that they are 1-1. The challenge: a tiebreaker for the "NXT" Championship.

2025's Iron Survivor Je'Von Evans makes his presence known! He boasts about his incredibly successful Deadline performance, and reminds the two men in the ring that he is the Number One Contender for the "NXT" Championship. Evans begins to ponder why he would wait until New Year's Evil to cash in his Iron Survivor privilege, and lays the gauntlet for Femi to put up his title tonight.

Saints asks Evans why he's in a rush as Femi shakes his head in disbelief. Saints discourages Evans from rushing into his title opportunity. Evans expresses his frustration with Saints' cautionary advice, and claims that he is not the future, but is the "right now." Evans doubles down on his self-advocacy, and highlights his resume: appearances on AAA, "NXT," and "WWE Raw" being a few. He reaffirms his intention to challenge Femi for his title tonight.

Saints is convinced, and begins to back Evans. Femi interjects, and asks the two championship-less individuals why they think they can boss around the world titleholder. Evans accuses Femi of being afraid of him, to which Femi reminds Evans of his current-undefeated streak against "The Young OG." Femi accepts the challenge as all three men stare each other down in the ring.

A video package detailing Kelani Jordan and Jordynne Grace's rivalry follows.

After the break, a video package featuring Tatum Paxley airs. Paxley addresses Deadline opponent ad Culling member Izzi Dame, and says that Dame's goal of stamping out her naivete worked. Paxley says that she has nothing to lose, but that Dame does. She holds up two dolls of Shawn Spears and Niko Vance, and says that she and Dame are playing "her game" now.

Jordan makes her entrance, but before Grace can make hers, the two are coming to blows! The brawl quickly recontains itself inside the ring as the bell rings, and Grace flattens Jordan with a Thesz Press. Big scoop slam from Big Mama Pump, and she follows up with a second one. Grace looks for a third one to end the sequence, and turns it into a Sit-Out Scoop Slam after Jordan escapes to run the ropes.

The two begin trading lefts and rights, and Grace looks to use her signature strength once more. Jordan escapes to the corner and kicks Grace in the face, but Jordan's attempt to corner her opponent backfires as Grace reverses the Irish Whip. Grace overwhelms Jordan before missing the mark on a corner splash, and Jordan's in control following a basement dropkick that turns Grace inside out!

Jordan continues to put the heat on Grace, but her attempt at driving a rope-hung Grace headfirst into the apron is averted. Grace puts the both of them onto the ring apron, and they slug before Grace tries for a Suplex to the outside. Jordan denies her, and tries to set up for a Spanish Fly to the outside. Grace blocks. Jordan looks for a Powerbomb off the apron, and Grace tries to respond by leaping out of Jordan's grasp. Jordan dives out, and sends Grace knee-first into the apron as we cut to commercial!

During the break, Jordan continues to put the hurt onto Grace's knee. She kicks it, tangles it in the corner ropes, and slams her whole body weight onto the rope-suspended joint. A supine Grace eventually fights back with a kick to Jordan's face, but the sadistic Jordan begins to wrap Grace's aching joint around the ringpost for a variant of the Figure Four. Back in the ring, Jordan goes for a pin, but she can't keep "The Juggernaut" down for the full three-count. Grace begins to fight back with some strikes to Jordan's abdomen, but Jordan fights her way back to put Grace into the Tree of Woe position. Before Jordan can capitalize off the top rope, however, Grace pulls Jordan down by her hair, and both women are down. They are trading lefts and rights again, and Grace goes for the flash pin. Close, but no cigar as we head back from the break.

Grace delivers a hyperextended Fisherman's Suplex to Jordan as she holds her aching knee, but as Jordan rolls out of the ring, Grace is forced to follow. Jordan uses the temporary pause to regain control, and after slamming Jordan onto the steel steps, tries to strike Grace with a steel chair. She misses, and seems to hurt her hand with the chair's recoil. Grace capitalizes with a Spinebuster, but fails to get the pin. The two are locked in a split-legged submission, with the toil between their two backs exchanged as they rock back and forth. The damage is done to both women as they hobble to their feet, but Grace is the one back to her senses first. She gets Jordan into a Full Nelson hold, and drives her face into the turnbuckle before going for a Rolling Suplex that would make Chad Gable proud. Jordan is folded in half, but she manages to escape the pinfall.

They're back on the outside now, and Grace looks to be looking for the Piledriver. Jordan reverses it, and the two exchange Piledriver setups before Jordan forces them into the steel steps. Grace is not a woman to be fooled twice, and she blocks Jordan's attempts at capitalizing the steel steps. Jordan returns to the ring, and an irate Grace picks up the steel chair used in Jordan's earlier attempt. The referee wrenches the chair from Grace's hold, and Jordan capitalizes on the distraction to kick Grace off the steps!

Grace goes flying into the corner barricade, which crumbles underneath her impact. It's Jordan's time, as she tosses Grace back in the ring to deliver a 450 for the pinfall!

Winner: Kelani Jordan!

Coming back from the break, Jordynne Grace and Thea Hail meet in a very busy women's locker room for a pep talk. Hail dashes to attend the Monroe's open challenge.

Before the Open Challenge gets undeway, Monroe takes to the mic. She posits herself as a "role model" for the women in the "NXT" locker room, and mentions how she's been in a "giving" mood this holiday season! She turns her attention to the entrance ramp to see which "lucky lady" will come and answer her call.

A multitude of women come to meet the challenge, with some recognizable faces including Lola Vice and Karmen Petrovic. Thea Hail bursts out to grasp Monroe from behind, and Monroe scurries to the outside...just to be surrounded with contenders! We are left to wonder which woman Monroe will choose as the show fades to a backstage interview featuring the debuting Shiloh Hill. He puts in a mouthguard that covers his imperfect smile before we cut to commercial.

Shiloh Hill is not wasting any time! Right after making his dynamic entrance, he tosses King over the top rope to start the match. He manhandles King, carrying him from corner to corner before laying him out for a running Basement Clothesline. King finally regains his footing by sending Hill into the corner, and the "NXT" veteran is breaking the new guy in with kicks, corner strikes, and pinfall attempts. The match, however, continues as Hill kicks out to keep his successful "NXT" debut dreams alive.

King is straight-up disrespecting Hill in the corner. His feet look to choke Hill out before he goes for a running strike, to which Hill reawakens enough to lay them both out with a Double Lariat. King removes his mouthguard — and his decorum — as he begins to become unglued! A Swinging Neckbreaker from Hill nearly puts King away, but no matter. Hill continues to wail on King following a Superkick no-sell, before overwhelming him with some strikes. He eventually wins following his finisher, Whisper to the Beast, and he gives us a toothy smile as the referee raises his hand. King is left wheezing in pain as Hill retrieves his retainer from the referee, who had held it earlier.

Winner: Shiloh Hill!

Ethan Page is in a boastful mood following his Deadline win against Mr. Iguana. He says that legends, "NXT" Superstars, and reptiles cannot topple him from his status as the greatest "NXT" North American Champion of all time. Page begins to question the legitimacy of the "NXT" division, painting them as social media-obsessed athletes trying to get a picture with their childhood heroes. He brings up John Cena's upcoming final match, and says that a week after his final match, "The Never-Seen Seventeen" will become a distant memory. Page posits that he should take Cena's historic place in the company, and reminds the crowd that he is the greatest "NXT" North American Champion. That title, plus his AAA Mixed Tag Team Championship, makes him a "one of one" type of performer.

Page says that there are three most important days in a person's life: the day they were brought into this world, the day they leave it, and the day they realize that Page is "the biggest Superstar the WWE has to offer." Page is determined to guide "NXT" to a more perfect state before the lights go out.

Tony D'Angelo is seen walking in the shadows of a dark highway on the titantron. Page tries to turn around to get the jump on the incoming D'Angelo, but D'Angelo catches him with a devastating Chokeslam. D'Angelo says nothing as the segment ends.

Sinclair and Ruca circle each other briefly before locking up. Sinclair gets Ruca in a Full Nelson, but Ruca fights out of it. They play their cat-and-mouse game before Sinclair gets Ruca in a calf crusher. Ruca escapes, and controls Sinclair with a headlock before going for a kick. Sinclair tries to get a flash pin, but Ruca dances around her until she gets a Sit-Out Facebuster in. 

The camera pans up, and Zaria is looking down on Ruca from the crowd! Ruca gives a week wave before Sinclair goes for a flash pin, and the two trade pin combos before Ruca pushes Sinclair towards the ropes. Sinclair manages to kick out Ruca's notoriously weak knees before driving one of them directly into the canvas. She puts a knee-based submission onto Ruca, and despite Ruca's attempts to fight back, Sinclair has it locked in. Zaria continues to watch as Ruca makes her way to her feet to land a kick and a series of Spinning Back Elbows to Sinclair. Sinclair Irish Whips Ruca into the corners, which sets Ruca up for a beautiful Missile Dropkick! Ruca gets some side kicks onto Sinclair before Sinclair lays on some heavy chops to the former double champ, and it's a Dragon Suplex for Sinclair! 

A cornered Ruca dodges the incoming Sinclair, and as Sinclair is dazed from the ropes, Ruca lands a breathtaking Sol Snatcher for a quick victory! Zaria claps halfheartedly as the referee raises Ruca's hand.

Winner: Sol Ruca!

As Ruca is celebrating on the ropes, Zaria begins to descend the staircase before choosing to walk away. Ruca jumps the barricade to go after her as Fatal Influence make their entrance. We cut to commercial after!

Jayne, Fallon Henley, and Laney Reid confront Grey and an exhausted Wren Sinclair. Jayne congratulates Grey for her Iron Survivor win and recent "NXT" popularity, and calls it a "Cinderella story." Jayne says that Grey is "living the dream." Unfortunately, Jayne says, reality will burst Grey's bubble come New Year's Evil, and that Grey's loss will be "catastrophic." Jayne promises that the "NXT" crowd will forget her after her New Year's Evil loss, and will move on to the next "flavor of the month." Jayne dismisses the idea of Grey's "potential," and says that it doesn't win championships — not ones that matter, anyway, compared to Jayne's "NXT" Women's Championship.

Jayne turns to the camera to address the ungrateful "NXT" crowd. She boasts about her incredibly successful 2025, from going to "underappreciated" to the top women in the "NXT" women's division. She lists her accolades, including her status as a two-time "NXT" Women's Champion. She calls herself the foundation and glue of the "NXT" women's division, and calls Grey a "bootleg Kurt Angle with a ponytail" as she refuses to stand down against the Iron Survivor.

Grey asks Jayne if she could talk now, to which Jayne refuses. Grey moves on anyway, and acknowledges her relative in-ring inexperience. Jayne dramatically reacts to her words, and Grey highlights that, despite her underdog position, she has delivered. Just as the "NXT" crowd didn't expect her to win the Iron Survivor challenge, Grey reasons, they didn't expect Jayne to dethrone former "NXT" Women's Champion Stephanie Vaquer. Grey says that she is an underdog who will bite back.

Jayne sneers in her face, and wonders out loud why Grey thinks she can stand in the ring with Fatal Influence, who she calls the most dominant women's faction in wrestling. Sinclair comes to defend Grey, but Reid and Henley chime in to demoralize the pair. Henley begins the brawl with a strike to Grey, and Fatal Influence easily overwhelm Sinclair and Grey. Sinclair shows a brief sign of life as she fights off Jayne and Henley, but ultimately, Fatal Influence's numbers win out as Jayne stands tall over Grey to end the segment.

Hank and Tank are reintroduced to the "NXT" crowd via a video diary from their excursion to Japan. Hank and Tank reappear in a backstage interview, where they are confronted by OTM. Tank Ledger says that the pair have not forgotten what OTM did to them before their Japan trip, and challenge the duo to a tag team match on next week's episode of "NXT." OTM accept, and we cut to commercial!

Back from commercial, Blake Monroe confronts general manager Ava, and announces that she will no longer be doing open challenges. Ava announces that Monroe will put her title up against Thea Hail on next week's episode of "NXT."

Both men make their entrances, and are given their introductions by Mike Rome.

Femi backs Evans into a corner almost immediately, but it looks to be a mind game play as Femi backs off and beckons Evans towards him. The two lock up once more, and after the referee gives a stern count, Femi backs off with a smirk. Evans levels him with a Superkick, and looks to go for his signature Springboard Cutter, but Femi withstands it with his brute strength. Femi looks to get a running knee strike onto a cornered Evans, but Evans dodges and responds with a wild kick. It gets him a near fall, but no dice.

The two continue to fight for match dominance, with both of them trading strikes, dodges, and counters. Femi holds his jaw as Evans is on the ground, but despite the setback, Evans comes back with a rebound spinning kick to score another near fall onto "The Ruler."

Evans looks to maintain his match dominance, but Femi plucks the charging Evans out of thin air and sends him into the corner. He wails on him before picking him up for a Backbreaker over the knee — except Femi holds Evans airborne for a bit whilst sucking his thumb. Baby steps for Femi.

Femi continues his stint in the driver's seat as he establishes a resting chinlock onto Evans. Evans flails, but Femi is comfortable here. After a bit, the two men rise to their feet, and the scrappy Evans tries to fight back with some elbows to the abdomen. Femi's still hanging on, so it's to the corner they go to break the hold. It's a magnificent standing dropkick from Evans, and as Femi rolls out of the ring, the airborne Evans looks to be formulating a plot. Evans looks to flatten Femi on the outside, but Femi's played these games before, and grabs "The Young OG's" foot to bring him back down to Earth.

It's an aggressive Irish Whip into the apron, but Evans jumps onto the ropes like a spider to perform a Springboard Moonsault! Femi catches him, however, and looks to throw him into the apron like a dart before Evans wiggles free mid-stride. Evans pushes Femi into the apron, but he's not playing the big dog for long. Femi is unfazed, and lays out Evans as we head to commercial.

On commercial break, Femi continues to lay the pain onto Evans. He tosses Evan haphazardly into the apron before ruthlessly tossing him back into the ring. Evans' attempt at a flash pin goes up in smoke and most likely just makes Femi angrier, as "The Ruler" refuses to hold back his following strikes and stomps. Femi holds nothing back as he drives Evans' knee into the canvas, and "The Young OG" hops and flails in pain as Femi continues to dominate the match. Femi's following Suplex is plain disrespectful, as "The Ruler" performs sit-ups in front of the wheezing Evans before beckoning to the crowd.

Back from commercial, Evans is beginning to fight back against "The Ruler!" That is, until Femi brings him up and slams him down on his knee for a near fall. Evans has been through hell, and it shows in his glassy stare as he crawls to the ropes. Both men are on their feet, and Femi looks to set Evans up for a lifting move...only for Evans to collapse to his feet. Femi grabs him by the chin and begins to berate him, but Evans manages to strike him on the abdomen. He strikes Femi once, twice, three, four times before collapsing. The double Axe Handle strike to the back of his neck sends Evans crashing down.

The apron is a precarious place, but Evans seems to be showing signs of life here! He dumps Femi to the outside, and manages to reverse out of Femi's follow-up Powerbomb attempt to send him crashing down with a Hurricanrana. Femi attempts to charge at Evans like a speeding bull, but Evans dives out of the way, leaving Femi to nearly Spear Booker T in half! Evans crawls back into the ring as Femi struggles to get his bearings. The champion manages to get back into the ring...and right into the landing zone for a Frog Splash.

Another one lands, but it will not be Evans' day — not just yet! Femi kicks out after two Frog Splashes, and Evans is flailing in frustration and exhaustion. He is fighting on instinct, merely peppering "The Ruler" with strikes before landing a Corkscrew Roundhouse! He levels Femi with a Suicide Dive to the outside, and looks to put the exclamation point on the match with a top-rope dive...before Femi clocks him with a right forearm. Evans responds with a Suplex attempt, but Femi lands on his feet! 

Evans is not giving up! He lands a cutter, but only gets a near fall in response. He goes to rebound off the ropes, but Femi interrupts him with a corkscrew uppercut. Miraculously, Evans lands another cutter, and goes for the trifecta with a top-rope cutter that would make Cody Rhodes jealous! It's one, two, th—

At the eleventh hour, the referee is pulled from the ring! You can hear Evans' heart break in two as the interfering hand is revealed to be Ricky Saints'! The referee shouts at Saints, but a top-rope dive from Evans really shuts the former "NXT" Champion up. The match is not called off despite the altercation, and Evans gets back into the ring to land another Corkscrew Roundhouse kick onto Femi. He goes for some insurance, but Femi snatches him out of midair with a stiff lariat! Two running uppercuts in the corner snuff out any life Evans has, and Femi looks directly into the camera — directly at "Saturday Night's Main Event" opponent Rhodes — before ending the match with a Fall from Grace.

Winner, and still the "NXT" Champion: Oba Femi!

Femi leaves the ring, but not before staring down a glaring Saints. They stand there as the show goes off the air.
