WWE NXT Results 2/17 - Four-Way Number One Contenders Match, North American Championship On The Line

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s live coverage for "WWE NXT" on February 17, 2026, coming to you live from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida!

Vanity Project's Ricky Smokes and Brad Baylor, Bronco Nima and Lucien Price of OTM, Hank Walker and Tank Ledger, and The Culling's Shawn Spears and Niko Vance will be colliding with one another in a Four-Way Number One Contenders Match for DarkState's NXT Tag Team Championship. Not only did OTM, Walker and Ledger, and The Culling encounter one another during last Tuesday's edition of "NXT", but Vanity Project scored a win against Walker and Ledger later that same night as OTM and The Culling appeared in the final moments of the match and inadvertently allowed EVOLVE Champion Jackson Drake to interfere.

Ethan Page will be putting the North American Championship on the line on television for the first time since retaining against Elio LeFleur on the January 20 episode of "NXT" as he defends against Shiloh Hill. Page asked "NXT" Interim General Manager Robert Stone for an opponent during last Tuesday's edition of "NXT" in order for him to break the record for the most North American Championship defenses. Although Stone agreed and offered up some opponents, Page unknowingly accepted Hill as his opponent when Hill walked in and found a machete he'd left in Stone's office.

Speaking of LeFleur, he looks to secure a shot at Jasper Troy's WWE Speed Championship tonight when he goes head-to-head with Eli Knight in a Finals Match for the WWE Speed Championship Number One Contenders Tournament. LeFleur defeated Charlie Dempsey in a semifinals match on the February 3 edition of "NXT", while Knight emerged victorious against Josh Briggs in a semifinals match of his own last Tuesday.

Lola Vice and Kelani Jordan have had a number of issues with one another over the course of the past several weeks, with the former holding a pair of wins against Jordan at a January 9 Live Event via disqualification and from the January 13 episode of "NXT". Tonight, the pair look to put things between them to bed once and for all as they square off with each other in the ring.

Additionally, as of last Tuesday, Tony D'Angelo will be competing in his first match on "NXT" programming since defeating Luca Crusifino and Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo on the July 15, 2025 edition of the show as he takes on Cutler James in an effort to continue his quest to end James and DarkState for sidelining him a number of months ago.

We are live! Vic Joseph and Booker T greet audiences at home as Lola Vice makes her way to the ring. Kelani Jordan follows.

Vice meets Jordan on the entrance ramp and begins brawling with her. She dumps Jordan in the ring, and the bell sounds. Jordan levels Vice with a clothesline, then jams her knee into Vice's hand and continues targeting Vice's hand. Jordan connects with a belly-to-belly suplex on Vice and pins her, but Jordan kicks out and sends Vice's hand bouncing off the mat.

Vice runs over Jordan with a pump kick, but Jordan returns the favor with a pump kick of her own on the outside and sends Vice's hand bouncing off the ring apron. She wrenches back on Vice's hand using the top rope back inside the ring during the commercial break, then whips her into the corner and slides her fingers into the bottom turnbuckle to continue wearing down her hand.

Vice lands a kick on Jordan's midsection back from the break, and the action spills out of the ring. Vice looks to land the 305 on Jordan, but Jordan ducks out of the way and Vice's injured hand is sent crashing into part of the "NXT" set. Jordan then looks to land a 450 Splash on Vice back in the ring, but Vice traps her in a Guillotine. Jordan escapes and traps Vice in an arm submission as a means of wearing down Vice's hand once again. Vice taps out.

Winner: Kelani Jordan

We see Ricky Saints walking around in the parking lot outside of the Performance Center. Joe Hendry appears out of nowhere and attacks him, but security quickly appears to break up the two men. 

Hendry then storms to the ring.

Hendry wastes no time and says he's not in a singing mood. He demands that Ricky Saints come to the ring, but Saints appears on the platform and says seeing Hendry with the NXT Championship makes him sick. He says Hendry stole the NXT Championship from him and says he sees right through Hendry. He says Hendry brings "NXT" and the NXT Championship several notches down with a meme being the top champion on the brand, then says the NXT Championship was once held by a WWE Superstar but it's now held by a social media star. He says Hendry is an everyman, but that's not what makes a champion.

Hendry says the difference between him and Saints is that he deals in facts, and the fact is that he's NXT Champion. Saints responds by telling Hendry that he's the best at marketing, then says the people need a real answer like him. He says he's worked hard to get to where he is.

Hendry dares Saints to meet him in the ring, but Saints opts to challenge Hendry for the NXT Championship at "NXT" Vengeance Day on March 7. Hendry accepts.

Cutler James and Dion Lennox then make their way to the ring. Tony D'Angelo follows.

The bell rings and D'Angelo delivers an Angle Slam to James. He fires off clotheslines and stomps on him in the corner, but James fires off stomps on D'Angelo and sends his throat bouncing off the top rope. D'Angelo then catches James with a trio of German suplexes, but James rocks D'Angelo with a knee to his face. D'Angelo spears James and follows it up with a spinebuster to him for the win.

Winner: Tony D'Angelo

After the match, Lennox attacks D'Angelo. D'Angelo spears Lennox and dumps him and James out of the ring, then sends Lennox crashing into the barricade spine first and sends him crashing into the ring steps. He sends Lennox crashing into one of the ring steps spine first and looks to use the other one to crush his ankle, but James moves Lennox out of the way in time and officials run out to keep the two men apart.

We then head backstage and see a conversation between Ricky Saints, Ethan Page, and Vanity Project.

Back at ringside, OTM then makes their way to the ring. Vanity Project, The Culling, and Hank Walker and Tank Ledger follow. 

Shawn Spears and Lucien Price begin the action. The bell rings and Price shoves Spears. He levels him with a headbutt, then tags out to Bronco Nima. Spears rocks Nima with a jumping knee to his face, but Ricky Smokes tags himself in and fires off right hands on Nima.

Nima turns Smokes inside out with a clothesline, but Ledger tags himself in and lands a back body drop on Smokes. Niko Vance and Price tag themselves back in and try levelling one another with shoulder tackles, but Price levels Vance with a clothesline. OTM then sends The Culling, Ledger, and Walker out of the ring, but Vanity Project tries sneaking up on them. Price and Nima see Brad Baylor and Smokes coming and chokeslam them on top of everyone else on the outside.

During the commercial break, Spears levels Ledger back in the ring as he looks to fly off the ropes. Spears rains down right hands on Ledger and delivers a stomp to his face, but Baylor tags himself in. Vance then tags himself in and looks to fly off the top rope, but Ledger moves out of the way and tags out to Walker.

Walker takes out OTM, The Culling, and Smokes on the apron. He lands a sidewalk slam on Baylor and lands a clothesline on him off the middle rope, then delivers an Airplane Spin to him before noticing The Culling beating down Ledger on the outside. Walker delivers a tope suicida to take out Spears as everyone else continues to brawl with one another on the other side of the ring.

Back in the ring, Vance catches Ledger with a headbutt. He takes out Smokes with a right hand as Smokes looks to fly, then lands a boot on Nima's midsection. Walker and Ledger catch Vance with a double running splash, but Nima whips Ledger over to Price who's waiting with a boot. OTM then double team on Vance and Nima pin him, but everyone else breaks the fall at once.

Price sits Spears on the top rope as Walker sits Baylor on the top. Ledger sits Smokes on the top, and Nima sits Vance on the top. All four men land superplexes on their respective opponents one-by-one, but Spears makes the blind tag in. Price levels Spears with a forearm and brawls with Ledger as Price brawls with Walker. Baylor then levels Ledger with a knee.

Everyone dumps one another out of the ring, but Spears delivers a C4 to Baylor and pins him. Drake pulls Spears off Baylor to break the fall, but Spears goes after Drake. OTM takes out Spears with a double stomp, then take out Walker and Ledger by sending themselves and the two men crashing over the announce desk. Baylor takes advantage back in the ring and pins Spears back in the ring for the win.

Winners (and new Number One Contenders): Vanity Project

We then head backstage and see Zaria and Sol Ruca argue with one another. Zaria tells Ruca that their friendship has been one-sided, then tells her that she's done with their friendship and can face Fatal Influence by herself.

Fatal Influence then make their way to the ring. 

Jayne says she bets the fans are expecting to hear her complain about defending the NXT Women's Championship against Sol Ruca next week, but says she's looking forward to their match and says she wants to be vulnerable with the fans. She says the fans still look her dead in the face and call Ruca a bigger star than her after she continues to have great match after great match, then reminds the fans that she held the NXT Women's and TNA Knockouts World Championships at the same time.

Fallon Henley says despite Ruca winning Female Superstar of the Year in 2025, Jayne is still the reigning and defending NXT Women's Champion. Jayne complains about Shawn Michaels choosing Ruca to represent "NXT" at Saturday Night's Main Event, then recalls only hearing about Ruca's performance in the 2026 Women's Royal Rumble on the flight back home. Lainey Reid backs up Jayne's sentiment, then says Ruca won't have the NXT Women's Championship or Zaria by her side next week. She says she won the NXT Women's Championship by being the best woman in "NXT" and the most underrated woman in all of WWE.

Ruca's music hits and she makes her way out. She says she agrees with Jayne in saying that no one is more envious of other people's success than her, then says Ruca may be NXT Women's Champion but she's still the same version of herself as day one. She says she wonders what it would be like of Jayne stopped comparing herself, but Jayne says Ruca is learning that she needs to look out for herself now that her friendship with Zaria is over.

Ruca says Zaria doesn't stand in her shadows unlike Jayne's friends both past and present. She reminds Jayne that she wanted their NXT Women's Championship match, then promises to win the title next week. She says Jayne came in toxic and turned fatal, then says she'll learn next week what she already knows: that Ruca is better than her.

Henley and Reid launch an attack on Ruca, but Zaria runs down to the ring and stares down Jayne. She tells Fatal Influence to get Ruca up, but then spears Henley to reveal she was trying to gain the element of surprise and lands a headbutt on Reid. She dumps Jayne out of the ring on top of Henley and Reid, then helps up Ruca and hugs her.
