WWE NXT Results 1/27 - NXT Tag Team Championship On The Line, Three NXT Championship Ladder Match Qualifiers

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s live coverage for "WWE NXT" on January 27, 2026, coming to you live from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida!

Saquon Shugars and Osiris Griffin of DarkState will be putting the NXT Tag Team Championship on the line for the first time since retaining against Hank Walker and Tank Ledger at a "NXT" Live Event on December 13 as they defend against OTM's Bronco Nima and Lucien Price. Nima and Price made it clear during last Tuesday's edition of "NXT" that they had their eye on the NXT Tag Team Championship, putting them on notice in the parking lot of the Performance Center.

With the Six Pack Ladder Match to crown a new NXT Championship right around the corner on February 3, the final entrants will be determined tonight as Keanu Carver squares off with Andre Chase while Joe Hendry takes on reigning EVOLVE Champion and Vanity Project member Jackson Drake and Myles Borne takes on Shugars and Griffin's stablemate Dion Lennox in a trio of qualifiers. Although Shiloh Hill and Sean Legacy defeated Josh Briggs and Eli Knight respectively to secure their spots in the February 3 match, "NXT" General Manager Ava automatically inserted former NXT Champion Ricky Saints into the match.

We are live! Vic Joseph and Booker T greet audiences at home as Ava finds Vanity Project standing over a laid out Joe Hendry and Jackson Drake holding a chair. Vanity Project insist that they didn't attack Hendry as Ava is informed that Tony D'Angelo just pulled up outside the Performance Center.

Ricky Saints then joins the announce desk as DarkState makes their way to the ring. OTM follows.

Saquon Shugars and Bronco Nima begin the action. The bell rings and the two lock up. They go back and forth with one another, but Lucien Price tags in and levels Shugars with a headbutt. Osiris Griffin tags in, but Nima tags back in on his side nad levels Griffin with an arm drag. OTM then send Griffin and Shugars crashing into the mat face first, and the latter two men take a second to regroup on the outside.

Shugars looks to land a kick on Nima's midsection back in the ring, but Griffin sneaks up behind Nima and blindsides him from behind. We see Hank Walker and Tank Ledger watching the action from backstage as Price pins Griffin. Griffin kicks out, but Shugars tags back in and wears down Price. Griffin then tags back in, but Price takes out him and Shugars with a bodyslam each.

Nima tags back in and runs over Shugars with a shoulder tackle, then follows it up with The Three Amigos. Price tags back in, but Nima catches Griffin with a Curb Stomp during the commercial break before he tags back in. Shugars tags in on his side and rolls up Nima, but Nima kicks out and Griffin fires off a right hand and an uppercut on him.

Griffin runs over Nima with an uppercut, but Shugars wears down Nima's leg back from the break. Griffin and Nima then level one another with crossbodies, but Price tags back in and takes out both Shugars and Griffin with clotheslines. He delivers alternating clotheslines to Shugars and Griffin in opposite corners, then sends Shugars crashing on top of Griffin with a uranage.

Price pins Shugars, but Griffin breaks the fall as we see Vanity Project bolting to ringside backstage. Hank Walker and Tank Ledger take notice and follow them. Vanity Project then emerge at ringside and hop up on the apron, opening the door for Shugars to roll up Price for the win with his feet on the ropes.

Winners (and still): DarkState

After the match, Vanity Project, Walker, Ledger, and OTM begin brawling. Chase U joins in, but Shawn Spears and Niko Vance sneak up behind DarkState in the ring and blindside Shugars, Griffin, and James. Spears and Vance couple team on Griffin, standing tall over him and Shugars.

Nikkita Lyons then makes her way to the ring. Jaida Parker follows. 

The bell rings and the two lock up. Parker rocks Lyons with a shoulder block, then wears her down with a submission hold and transitions into a pinfall. Lyons kicks out and rains down forearms on Parker, then levels her with a right hand and goes for a pin.

Parker kicks out, but Lyons takes her down with a suplex and a powerbomb. Parker and Lyons then rock one another with forearms, then connects with her signature Hip Attack on Lyons in the corner and follows it up with a pump handle sit-out powerbomb for the win.

Winner: Jaida Parker

After the match, Blake Monroe appears on the Titan Tron and says no one gets away with taking the spotlight from her before telling Parker that she'll see her soon. Parker responds by telling Monroe that she knows where to find her.

Dion Lennox then makes his way to the ring. 

Back from the break, we head over to a conversation between Vanity Project and Ava. Ava automatically puts Jackson Drake in the NXT Championship Six Man Ladder Match next week, but says Joe Hendry will also be inserted into it if he's medically cleared. 

Back at ringside, Myles Borne makes his way out. 

The bell rings and the two lock up. They take turns wearing one another down with submission holds, but Borne connects with a dropkick on Lennox and Lennox whips him into the corner. He lands a splash on him, then whips Borne into the opposite corner and lands another splash on him.

Borne lands a pair of uppercuts on Lennox in opposite corners, but Lennox clotheslines Borne out of the ring as Ethan Page emerges at ringside. Borne sends Lennox crashing into the ring steps shoulder first, then goes for a pin but Lennox kicks out.
