WWE NXT Results 7/14 - Two Championships On The Line, Triple Threat #1 Contenders Match

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s live coverage for "WWE NXT" on July 14, 2026, coming to you live from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida!

After retaining their title against AAA stars El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. and Galeno on the June 30 episode of "NXT", Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes of Vanity Project will be putting their NXT Tag Team Championship on the line once again as they defend against Sean Legacy and Dorian Van Dux. Legacy and Van Dux emerged victorious against Bronco Nima and Lucien Price of OTM, Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo and Uriah Connors of BirthRight, and DarkState's Osiris Griffin and Cutler James in a Fatal Four-Way Number One Contenders Match during last Tuesday's edition of "NXT" to secure their spots in tonight's match.

Zaria was initially set to defend her Women's North American Championship against Layla Diggs after Diggs scored a win against Izzi Dame of The Culling, Thea Hail, and Tatum Paxley in a Fatal Four-Way Number One Contenders Match last Tuesday. However, "NXT" General Manager Robert Stone announced via his X account that Diggs had sustained an injury at a Live Event this past Saturday. With Diggs unable to compete, Zaria will still be putting her NXT North American Championship on the line against an opponent who has yet to be revealed as of writing.

Although Kendal Grey successfully defended her NXT Women's Championship against Nattie last Tuesday, her next challenger will be revealed tonight as Kali Armstrong, Kelani Jordan, and Lola Vice collide with one another in a Triple Threat Number One Contenders Match. Armstrong made it clear that she wanted a shot at the NXT Women's Championship in the opening moments of last Tuesday's show, with Jordan and Vice both confronting her after title shots of their own. This led to a brawl breaking out, with Armstrong being the one to ultimately stand tall when she left Jordan and Vice both laid out with a double shoulder tackle.

Additionally, Naraku will be going head-to-head with Tate Wilder after Wilder had some choice words about a video from Naraku last Tuesday.

We are live! Vic Joseph and Booker T greet audiences at home as Vanity Project makes their way to the ring. Sean Legacy and Dorian Van Dux follow.

Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes (w/ Jackson Drake and Myka Lockwood) (c) vs. Sean Legacy and Dorian Van Dux for the NXT Tag Team Championship

Legacy and Smokes begin the action. The bell rings and the two lock up. Legacy levels Smokes with a dropkick, but Baylor tags in. Van Dux tags in on his side, then connects with a dropkick on Baylor. Smokes then tags back in and Van Dux sends him crashing into Baylor in the corner when Baylor tags back in.

Legacy tags in and lands a moonsault on Smokes, then delivers a springboard crossbody to take out himself and Baylor on the outside. Legacy lands a splash on Baylor in the corner during the break, then tags in Van Dux who lands a splash of his own on Baylor. Lockwood hops up onto the apron, allowing Drake to trip Legacy from the outside on the other side of the ring.

Smokes tags in and Baylor delivers a spear to Legacy in the corner. Smokes grabs Legacy's ankle from the apron to allow Baylor to deliver a jumping knee strike to him. Smokes then delivers a dropkick-spinebuster combination to Legacy with Baylor before Van Dux tags in and lands a back body drop on Baylor (who has tagged back in). He takes him down with a hurricanrana and delivers a springboard moonsault to him, then goes for a pin but Baylor kicks out.

Van Dux ascends to the top rope and looks to fly, but Baylor moves out of the way and makes the blind tag to Smokes. Baylor connects with a single legged codebreaker on Van Dux and Smokes spears him, then goes for a pin but Legacy breaks the fall.

Smokes tags in and ascends to the top rope, but Van Dux sends Baylor crashing into Smokes. He lands a superplex on Smokes, then tags in Legacy. Legacy lands a 450 Splash on Smokes, then lands a dive through the middle rope to take out Smokes as Van Dux delivers one of his own to Baylor. Legacy then flies over the top rope, but Drake interferes. Van Dux levels him, but Lockwood low bridges him out of the ring as Van Dux looks to fly.

Baylor sends Legacy crashing into the ring steps and Smokes ascends to the top rope. Baylor and Smokes then deliver a reverse DDT-double stomp to combination for Smokes for the win.

Winners (and still): Vanity Project

We then head backstage and see Saquon Shugars spying on Sean Legacy and Dorian Van Dux arguing in the trainer's room. OTM catches Shugars, and Shugars asks them to tag with him against DarkState. OTM declines to do so and run into BirthRight backstage. 

Back at ringside, Tristan Angels makes his way out. 

We Hear From Tristan Angels

Angels says men like Shiloh Hill were created to walk around with dirt under their nails, but he was sent for remorse and pulls out Hill's fake tooth. He says Hill can no longer fool the fans into thinking he's respectable and can see him for who he really is: a creepy hillbilly weirdo who was never fit to stand across from him in the ring.

Angels stomps on Hill's fake tooth using the ring steps, but Hill appears on the Titan Tron and says loosing his tooth in the first place helped his mind. He says he can fix his smile, but says the fog is coming.

We then head backstage, where Lizzy Rain, Izzi Dame, and Nikkita Lyons all make their case to Robert Stone in his office as to why they should take Layla Diggs' spot in the Women's North American Championship match tonight as Nattie, Karmen Petrovic, and Diggs are also present. Nattie shows anger towards Diggs for getting injured, and Stone announces that Zaria will defend her title against Rain, Dame, and Lyons in a Fatal Four-Way Match. 

Back at ringside, Tate Wilder makes his way out. Naraku follows. 

Naraku vs. Tate Wilder

The bell rings and Naraku slaps Wilder. Wilder responds by looking to fly out of the ring, but Naraku catches him with a forearm and dumps him back in the ring. He lands a German suplex and fires off chops on Wilder during the commercial break, then follows it up with another suplex and cinches in a crossface on Wilder.

Wilder fires off right hands on Naraku and sends him crashing into the mat spine first, but Naraku catches him with Enter The Abyss for the win.

Winner: Naraku

After the match, Tony D'Angelo slides into the ring and attacks Naraku from behind. Security and officials run out to pull D'Angelo off Naraku, but D'Angelo takes out a couple of the security guards and one of them gets hit with mist from Naraku.
