WWE NXT Results 9/1 - We Hear From Kelani Jordan, Shiloh Hill Faces Naraku & More

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s results for "WWE NXT" on September 1, 2026, coming to you live from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida!

After weeks of vying for a shot at the NXT Women's Champion, Kelani Jordan finally received another shot at Kendal Grey's NXT Women's Championship at "NXT" Heatwave this past Sunday. With her having come out on top in the match and put an end to Grey's 63 day reign as NXT Women's Champion, Jordan will be making an appearance on tonight's show with something on her mind to share.

Women's EVOLVE Champion Nikkita Lyons will be in action as she collides with Thea Hail in a non-title match. After Petrovic had left the ringside area with her AAA Los Perros del Mal stablemates during a Submission Match between her ally Nattie and Jaida Parker at Heatwave, Hail ran out to the ring to take out an interfering Lyons and brawled with her to the back which allowed Parker to win the match.

Naraku will be in action as he goes head-to-head with Shiloh Hill. Naraku cost Hill a match against Jackson Drake of Vanity Project and a subsequent North American Championship match on the August 18 episode of "NXT", spraying him with mist in his face as Hill teetered on the ropes. Drake went on to dethrone Myles Borne as North American Champion at Heatwave, with his stablemates Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes having dethroned Borne and Tavion Heights as NXT Tag Team Champions earlier that same night and Borne blindsiding Heights with Borne Again in the moments that followed the North American Championship match.

Additionally, Mason Rook will be squaring off against Kam Hendrix following weeks of increasing animosity between the pair. Dorian Van Dux and Sean Legacy will also be joining forces with one another to take on Romeo Moreno and Noam Dar in tag team competition.

We are live! The show kicks off with a video recapping the events of Heatwave this past Sunday.

Vic Joseph and Booker T then greet audiences at home as Zilla Fatu makes his way to the ring.

Zilla says he was hoping he would be in the ring tonight as the new NXT Champion, but Heatwave didn't go his way and the stars didn't align. He says it felt amazing to share the ring fighting for a WWE Championship, then says it's not a matter of if but when he wins the NXT Championship.

Tristan Angels' music hits and he makes his way out. He asks Zilla if he'll be prattling on about the NXT Championship, then says Zilla isn't even "The Main One" in his family and the further down his Bloodline you go, the less talented you get. He says Zilla doesn't look like or carry himself like a champion.

Zilla calls Angels "Gangrel Jr.", then says he likes Angels' accent but not his attitude. Zilla challenges Angels to a match tonight, and Angels accepts. Angels then looks to level Zilla, but Zilla quickly gains the upperhand. Angels rolls out of the ring.

After the match, Brutus Creed and Julius Creed appear out of nowhere. They deliver a Brutus Ball-powerbomb combination to Moreno.

We then head backstage, where "NXT" General Manager Robert Stone has Zaria and Lexis King vacate their respective Women's Speed and Speed Championships as BirthRight is also standing by. Mike Santana then approaches Stone about the NXT Championship when the two parties leave, but Keanu Carver crashes their impromptu meeting.

Kelani Jordan then makes her way to the ring

Jordan says she told everyone for months exactly what would happen, then says she speaks facts and says herself and Kendal Grey had one of the best matches of the year at Heatwave. She says people are finally talking about how great she's always been instead of Grey, then tells the fans not to switch it up now because Grey was already put into the fan's hall of fame. She says she beat someone great and asks what that now makes her, then says Grey was in over her head when she sent Grey crashing into the exposed turnbuckle and Grey is now dealing with vertigo.

Jordan calls out Wren Sinclair and invites Sinclair to tell Grey not to stand up too fast. She says Grey will always come in second place to her, then says no one in WWE history can say that they've won the Women's North American Championship, the TNA Knockouts World Championship, and the NXT Women's Champion on their first attempt. She says no one will take her NXT Women's Championship from her and says no one does it like Lani.

Jaida Parker's music hits and she makes her way out. She says Jordan is feeling herself and deserves the NXT Women's Championship, but she's not the only one who called their shot at Heatwave. She says she overcame Nattie at Heatwave and made her tap out in their Submissions Match, then says she's upped her game over the last several months to something that is championship material. She reminds Jordan that she's already beaten her in the past and says she has her gear in the back with time left on the show. She challenges Jordan to a NXT Women's Championship match, but Jordan says she's not surprised Parker interrupted her.

Jordan says all Parker does is talk and admits Parker has upped her game, but says Parker is still three levels below her and extends a NXT Women's Championship match. She says it will be next week instead of tonight because Parker doesn't get to decide when matches are.

Thea Hail then makes her way to the ring, staring down Jordan as she passes her. Nikkita Lyons follows. 

The bell rings and Hail fires off elbow strikes on Lyons' head. Hail lands a kick on Lyons' head, but Lyons responds by sending Hail crashing into the mat face first and catapults her into the middle rope face first. She cinches in a crossface on Hail, but Lyons wears down Hail with a submission hold. Hail powers up to her feet and sends Lyons crashing into the mat, but Lyons sends Hail crashing into the corner of the ring spine first and lands a suplex on her.

Lyons delivers a kick to Hail's head, then looks to land a Vader Bomb on her. Hail moves out of the way and delivers a senton to her out of the corner for the win.

Winner: Thea Hail

The bell rings and Rook dumps Hendrix in the ring. He lands a senton on Hendrix and charges at him in the corner, but Hendrix knocks Rook out of the ring and sends him crashing into the ring steps shoulder first.

Hendrix then levels Rook with a big boot and exposes the top turnbuckle, but the referee catches him. This opens the door for Rook to deliver a spinning sit-out powerbomb to Hendrix for the win.

Winner: Mason Rook

We then head backstage, where Sarah Schreiber catches up with Tavion Heights. Heights reveals that he was hurt by Myles Borne saying he hit Heights before Heights hit him, but Vanity Project crash the interview to mock Heights for not being a champion and losing a friend in the process. 

Back at ringside, Tristan Angels has made his way out. Zilla Fatu follows.

The bell rings and the two lock up. Zilla connects with a back body drop on Angels and sends him crashing out of the ring, then takes flight to send Angels crashing over the announce desk.

Winner: Zilla Fatu

After the match, BirthRight makes their way to the ring. Charlie Dempsey extends a spot in BirthRight to Zilla, telling him that he has to compete against Roman Reigns, The Usos, and Jacob Fatu. Lexis King says BirthRight will treat Zilla like family and will have everything he wants, and Zilla tells him hello. He says it's more like hell no and looks to walk off, but levels Angels with a swift superkick.

Grayson Waller then makes his way to the ring. 

Robert Stone introduces Waller, and he makes his way out. Waller mockingly asks the fans if they were expecting someone else to walk out of Heatwave as NXT Champion, then recalls seeing Stone pumping his fists backstage when he won the title. He calls out Vic Joseph on the commentary desk and says winning the NXT Championship meant more than anything he's done on the main roster.

Waller says he took a risk coming back down to "NXT" and says goodbye to Zilla Fatu, then sayas he forced the world to listen and no one can ignore him now. He says his phone has been blowing up with phone calls from people who didn't call before the NXT Championship including "WWE Raw" General Manager Adam Paerce and "WWE SmackDown" General Manager Nick Aldis.

Waller asks who will knock him off his pedestal whether it's Zilla who's blood who got him there, Cruz Montana who was crying backstage at Heatwave and is only "TNA good", or Tony D'Angelo who needs two times and a shovel to find where he buried him. He asks who will step up to do something about it, but Saquon Shugars' music hits and he makes his way out.

Shugars says Waller is talking about trying to rattle some cages, then says he's the man who rattled Dion Lennox's face off the side of the cage.

Montana's music hits and he makes his way out. He asks the live crowd what's good, then says Shugars may not be ready but he is. He says Waller didn't beat him three weeks ago or at Heatwave, but EK Prosper's music hits and he makes his way out. He says he's in the building and tells Montana that he's had his NXT Championship shot. He says he's been turning heads in "NXT" each week, but Mason Rook's music cuts off Prosper and says it's time to see how Waller is throwing a tank at his head.

D'Angelo's music hits and he makes his way out. He says no one in the ring has a claim to the NXT Championship and says Waller never had it in him to face him one-on-one. Stone tries intervening, but Keanu Carver's music hits and he makes his way out. He suggests a Six Man Tag Team Match next week including himself, with the winning team subsequently squaring off against one another in a Triple Threat Number One Contenders Match.

Waller slides out of the ring as everyone else begins brawling with one another and the show goes off the air.
