WWE NXT Results 5/5 - Mixed Tag Team Match, Jaida Parker Faces Kali Armstrong & More

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s live coverage for "WWE NXT" on May 5, 2026, coming to you live from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida!

NXT Women's Champion Lola Vice will be joining forces with her fellow AAA World Mixed Tag Team Champion Mr. Iguana to take on Izzi Dame and Niko Vance of The Culling. While Dame and Vance looked to get the better of Vice by sneaking up on her during last Tuesday's episode of "NXT" after Vice had called out Dame, Vice came prepared when Mr. Iguana was revealed to be waiting under the ring to take out Vance as Vice took out Dame herself.

Jaida Parker will be competing in her first match on "NXT" since coming up short to Kelani Jordan at Week One of the "NXT" Revenge special on April 14 as she collides with former EVOLVE Women's Champion Kali Armstrong. The two women encountered one another last Tuesday in a tense verbal exchange surrounded by several other members of the "NXT" women's division in the women's locker room.

Although Sol Ruca may have become the newest member of the "WWE Raw" roster last Monday, Zaria scored a win against her in a Last Woman Standing Match at Week Two of the "NXT" Revenge special on April 21 by sending her crashing off a tall platform through a table beneath. Following her victory, Zaria will be making an appearance on tonight's show with something on her mind to share.

Additionally, Jasper Troy and Vanity Project's Jackson Drake will be going head-to-head with one another after Drake and his stablemates and reigning NXT Tag Team Champions Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes scored a win against Troy, Hank Walker, and Tank Ledger at an NXT Live Event on May 1.

We are live! The show kicks off with a video highlighting some of the new talent that appeared on last Tuesday's episode of "NXT".

The bell rings and Armstrong shoves Parker. Parker responds with a shove of her own and sends Armstrong crashing into the mat with a pair of mat returns, then levels her with a shoulder tackle and a double underhook suplex. She goes for a pin, but Armstrong kicks out.

Parker clotheslines Armstrong out of the ring, but Armstrong sends Parker crashing into the ring apron on the outside. Parker returns the favor and dumps Armstrong back in the ring, then rocks her with a knee to her face through the middle rope. THe two women exchange forearms with one another, but Armstrong begins wearing down Parker's left arm.

She fires off knees on the side of Parker's head back from the break and fires off shoulders on her midsection in the corner before she fires off stomps on her in the corner.

Parker lands a pair of back body drops on Armstrong, then drapes her across the middle turnbuckle and connects her with Hip-notic on her. Armstrong responds by running the ropes and levelling Parker with a flying shoulder tackle for the win.
