WWE NXT Results 1/13 - Joe Hendry Faces Dion Lennox In A No DQ Match, We Hear From Izzi Dame & Ava

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s live coverage for "WWE NXT" on January 13, 2026, coming to you live from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida!

Oba Femi may have retained the NXT Championship against reigning TNA X-Division Champion Leon Slater in the main event of last Tuesday's "NXT" New Year's Evil special, but just moments later, Robert Slater burst into "NXT" General Manager Ava's office to inform her that Femi had left the NXT Championship laying in the ring while she addressed a number of future "NXT" stars. After the title was confirmed to be vacant on the "NXT" X account and Femi being teased for a main roster call up in brief video packages that have aired on "WWE Raw" and "WWE SmackDown", Ava will be addressing what will come next for the NXT Championship.

After becoming the new Women's North American Champion at New Year's Evil, Izzi Dame of The Culling will be making an appearance on tonight's show with something on her mind to share. While former titleholder Thea Hail was initially set to defend the Women's North American Championship against Blake Monroe last Tuesday, Monroe blindsided Hail with an attack in the opening moments of the show. With Hail being insistent on still defending her title in an open challenge, Dame answered the call to beat her former stablemate Tatum Paxley (who she had lost to earlier that same night) to it and ultimately become the new champion.

Joe Hendry will be competing in his first singles match since emerging victorious against The Miz on the December 26 episode of "SmackDown" in a Miracle On 34th Street Fight as he collides with DarkState's Dion Lennox in a No Disqualification Match. Tensions between the two men date back to the December 2 episode of "NXT", during which Hendry, the aforementioned Slater, Myles Borne, and Je'Von Evans scored a win against Lennox and his stablemates Osiris Griffin, Cutler James, and Saquon Shugars in an Eight Man Tag Team Match.

Jasper Troy will be putting the WWE Speed Championship on the line for the first time on television since dethroning El Grande Americano on the November 11 episode of "NXT" as he defends against Tavion Heights. Not only did Heights defeat WWE EVOLVE star Eli Knight and Lexis King in the first round and finals of a WWE Speed Championship Number One Contenders Tournament on the December 23 and 30 episodes of "NXT" respectively, but the two men also came face-to-face last Tuesday during a verbal confrontation that also involved the likes of North American Champion Josh Briggs, Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo, and Shiloh Hill.

Additionally, rivals Kelani Jordan and Lola Vice look to settle their issues for good tonight when they go head-to-head with one another following a series of tense verbal and physical altercations over the course of the last several weeks.

We are live! The show kicks off with a video recapping what went down with the Women's North American Championship last Tuesday.

Vic Joseph and Booker T then greet audiences at home as Ava stands in the ring

Ava says while many people would see the NXT Championship being vacated by Oba Femi as a challenge, she sees it as an opportunity. She says whether the men have been surrounding the ring have been grinding for a while or are new faces, there's no better moment than right now.

Ricky Saints' music hits, and he makes his way to the ring. He thanks the fans for coming out tonight and gloats about running the main event of NXT Stand & Deliver 2025 (Femi, Trick Williams, and Je'Von Evans) out of "NXT". He says like the WWE introduction says, he's the then, now, and forever before he says he sees talented men standing around the ring. He says they're the future and he's the present, then says he'll let Ava do the honors and hand over the NXT Championship to him.

Ava informs Saints she's not handing him the NXT Championship, and says while Saints deserves an opportunity, so do the men standing around the ring. She says there will be a Six Man Ladder Match on February 3 to determine who the new NXT Champion will be, with qualifiers starting next week.

Ava hangs the NXT Championship belt around an apparatus from the ceiling. Joe Hendry slides in the ring, with several others following him and a brawl breaking out at ringside. Keanu Carver makes his way out and dumps one of the men into the crowd as everyone else continues fighting. He powerbombs Ricky Smokes through the announce desk, then gets Jackson Drake over his head and dumps him on top of several men on the outside. Carver is left standing tall above everyone else in the ring as a stunned Saints watches him from the entrance ramp.

Kelani Jordan then makes her way to the ring. Lola Vice follows.

Jordan dropkicks Vice off the apron as she poses on it. She flies over the top rope to level Vice on the outside, then dumps her back in the ring and ascends to the top rope. She looks to fly, but Vice catches Jordan with a right hand on her midsection.

The bell rings and Jordan and Vice take turns raining down right hands on one another. Vice delivers a springboard arm drag to Jordan, but Jordan trips Vice with a leg sweep and fires off a stomp on her in the corner. Jordan then levels Vice with an ax handle, but Vice cinches in a submission on Jordan. Jordan crawls over to the bottom rope to escape.

The action spills out of the ring, where Jordan sends Vice crashing into the announce desk spine first and levels her with a lariat on the outside. She dumps Vice back in the ring and joins her inside during the break, then fires off shoulders on Vice's midsection in the corner and lands a knee strike on her. Jordan then cinches in a submission on Vice to wear her down and delivers The Three Amigos to her, but Vice reverses the third suplex and lands it on Jordan.

Vice rolls up Jordan, but Jordan kicks out and Vice lands a kick on the back of her thigh. She whips Vice into the corner of the ring, then exchanges right hands and kicks with her back from the break. Vice catches Jordan with a German suplex, then fires off a series of kicks on her and follows it up with her signature rapid fire kicks. She sets up for a Hip Attack on Jordan, but Jordan slides out of the ring before she can deliver the move.

Vice runs over Jordan with a Shining Wizard on her off the ring apron, then dumps her back inside and connects with a Hip Attack on her in the corner. Jordan rains down a few Hammer and Anvil elbows on Vice and delivers a Frog Splash on her off the top rope, then goes for a pin but Vice kicks out.

Jordan sets up for a split legged moonsault on Vice, but Vice traps her in a submission hold. Jordan escapes and rolls up Vice, but the referee catches Jordan holding the ropes. Jordan argues with the referee, but turns around into a 305 from Vice. Vice then pins Jordan for the win.

Winner: Lola Vice

Back from the break, Jasper Troy and Tavion Heights are waiting in the ring.

The bell rings and Heights levels Troy as the five minute time limit begins. Heights pins Troy, but Troy kicks out and sends Heights crashing into the corner spine first. Troy whips Heights into the corner spine first as the clock reaches three minutes, then delivers a backbreaker to him and goes for a pin. Heights kicks out, but Troy continues wearing him down.

The clock passes two minutes as Heights delivers a powerslam to Troy. He follows it up with a Frog Splash to him and goes for a pin, but Troy kicks out as the clock approaches one remaining minute. Troy catches Heights with the Big Black Hole for the win.

Winner (and still): Jasper Troy

After the match, Lexis King appears out of nowhere and blindsides Heights. He connects with The Coronation on him and berates him as Troy watches from the entrance ramp.

We then head backstage, where Wren Sinclair hypes up Kendal Grey to go into Ava's office to get an NXT Women's Championship rematch. Sol Ruca and Zaria approach the pair to inform them that they want NXT Women's Championships of their own and point out Sinclair allowing Grey to receive another shot at the title instead of one of her own. As Grey insists she's happy to step aside and support Sinclair if Sinclair wants her own title shot, Jacy Jayne emerges and tells everyone outside to pipe down.

Grey, Sinclair, Ruca, and Zaria all follow Jayne back in Ava's office. Ava tells Zaruca, Wren-QCC, and Fatal Influence that herself and Santino Marella have agreed to have the three teams face off in a Number One Contenders Match for the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championship next week.
