WWE NXT Results 10/20/26 W/ Live Updates

Hello everyone, and welcome to our weekly coverage for "NXT"!

Who will be the two teams to advance in the 2026 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic? Let us know in the comments down below!

We are live! Vic Joseph and Booker T greet audiences at home as Tony D'Angelo makes his way to the ring.

D'Angelo calls Grayson Waller to the ring, and he makes his way out. Waller says he knew it would always be D'Angelo and says they both signed with WWE around the same time. He says they were teammates in a WWE Men's WarGames match and asks D'Angelo if he's running from him, then says he wants the satisfaction of beating D'Angelo one-on-one and says the biggest demon he needs to conquer is D'Angelo.

D'Angelo says Waller always looked down on him, but no one knew who Waller was before WWE. He says Waller only cared about viral moments rather than titles, but Waller says D'Angelo still debuted on television before him and had to hold his hand to show him what a WarGames match was. He says it didn't matter how talented he was because D'Angelo was chosen, but D'Angelo says Waller hides behind one liners and memes because he's desperate for attention. Waller says that's called having a personality, then says he's not a hypocrite because he won their match mentally months ago. He says all he has to do at Halloween Havoc is take D'Angelo out to the waters and let him drown.

D'Angelo says WarGames was his third match on "NXT", then says it all comes down to them facing each other one-on-one. Waller says D'Angelo considers himself the face of "NXT" and even defeated Oba Femi twice, but that doesn't mean D'Angelo can touch him in the ring with the run he's on right now. He says the NXT Championship means something again, but D'Angelo says he carried the NXT Championship to cement his legacy. He says he's still a Division One All American who will rip off Waller's head and beat him with it, then promises to drag Waller through it at Halloween Havoc.

El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. and Galeno then makes their way to the ring. BirthRight follows. 

Wagner Jr. and Charlie Dempsey begin the action. The bell rings and the two lock up. They take turns pining one another and wearing each other down with submission holds, but Wagner Jr. lands a pair of arm drags on Dempsey.

Galeno and Lexis King tag in, and King delivers a boot to Galeno's midsection. He delivers a chop to his chest, but Galeno sends King crashing into the corner of the ring spine first and tags out to Wagner Jr. Wagner Jr. wears down Dempsey, but Galeno tags back in and lands a running senton on King. He dumps an interfering Dempsey out of the ring and looks to fly out of the ring with Galeno, but Grace stands between Wagner Jr., Galeno, and BirthRight. Wagner Jr. then uses Galeno's spine as a launching pad to fly over the top rope and take down King, Dempsey, and Connors on the outside.

Back from the break, Wagner Jr. rocks Dempsey with a right hand. Galeno and King tag in, and Galeno delivers a step-up knee to King in the corner. He fires off clotheslines on Dempsey in the opposite corner and connects with a standing splash on him, then goes for a pin but King kicks out.

Galeno looks to fly off the top rope, but King gets his knees up. Zilla Fatu appears and levels Connors at the bottom of the entrance ramp, but Grace delivers an open palm strike to Zilla. Zilla stays standing, allowing Wagner Jr. (who has tagged in) to tag out to Galeno. Galeno then connects with a Frog Splash off the top rope on King for the win.

Winners: El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. and Galeno

After the match, Zilla sends Connors crashing out of the ring and knocks King off the ring apron. He then lands a Samoan Drop on Dempsey.

We then head backstage, where Dion Lennox tells Osiris Griffin and Cutler James that there will be casualties and he has a plan to bring Cruz Montana back to the dark place he was once in.

Tavion Heights then makes his way to the ring. 

Heights says he had a steel chair wrapped around his ankle by Myles Borne, who had apologized to him at "NXT" Heatwave only to proceed to use the chair to target his ankle. He says he believed Borne's apology, but Borne doubled down and twisted the knife in his back. He says that was a mistake on him and says he doesn't make mistakes twice, then says he had to come front and center to watch Borne fall under the pressure of his NXT Championship Number One Contenders Match against Tony D'Angelo last week.

Borne slides into the ring and attacks Heights from behind. The two men brawl into the Performance Center parking lot, but security and officials work to pull apart the two men.

Vanity Project enters "NXT" General Manager Robert Stone's office to ask him about an altercation between Vanity Project and Mini Vikingo. Stone reveals Mini Vikingo isn't medically cleared, with Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes express their confidence in beating Romeo Moreno and Noam Dar in the quarterfinals of the 2026 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic. Stone informs Jackson Drake he will be defending his North American Championship against EK Prosper next week.

Izzi Dame then makes her way to the ring. Layla Diggs follows. 

The bell rings and Dame levels Diggs with a shoulder tackle. She sends Diggs crashing into opposite corners of the ring and pins her, but Dame kicks out and runs over Diggs with a big boot. Dame catches Diggs with a right hand when Diggs looks to fly through the ropes, but Diggs flies off the ring apron to level Dame on the outside and dumps her back in the ring.

Back from the break, Diggs flies off the top rope and lands a Frog Splash on Dame. She goes for a pin, but Dame kicks out and Diggs ascends back up the ropes. Dame pulls her off and connects with a Crucifix Bomb on Diggs, then goes for a pin but Diggs kicks out.

Dame sends Diggs crashing into the mat spine first. Diggs sets up for a moonsault on Dame off the top rope, but Dame moves out of the way and levels Diggs with a Shining Wizard for the win.

Winner: Izzi Dame

After the match, Zaria's music hits and she makes her way to the ring to confront Dame for bullying her about playing Glinda in the play Wicked when she was younger. She says if Dame wants a Women's North American Championship match, that's not the way to go about it, then offers Dame a Women's North American Championship match at Halloween Havoc. Dame accepts the challenge for a match, but specifies Zaria does not have to put her Women's North American Championship on the line.

Hank Walker and Tank Ledger then make their way to the ring. The Creed Brothers follow. 

Walker and Julius Creed begin the action. The bell rings and the two lock up. Ledger and Brutus Creed tag in, and Ledger fires off back elbows on Brutus in the corner. Walker tags in and sends Brutus crashing into the corner of the ring, but Brutus sends Walker crashing into the mat spine first and delivers the Brutus Smash to him.

Back from the break, Brutus sends Ledger crashing into his knee midsection first. Brutus tags in and knocks Walker off the ring apron, then lands a right hand on Ledger. Walker and Julius then tag in, and Walker clotheslines Brutus out of the ring. He lands a splash on Julius in the corner and levels Brutus on the outside, then connects with a sidewalk slam on Julius and tags in Ledger.

Ledger and Walker look to double team on Julius, but Brutus pulls Walker out of the ring. Walker and Ledger land a double splash on Brutus, but Julius rocks Ledger with a knee back inside the ring. Walker and Ledger deliver an over the shoulder powerslam-flying right hand combination to Julius as the referee is distracted by Brutus for the win.

Winners: Hank Walker and Tank Ledger

With the NXT Women's Championship Halloween Havoc match contract in hand, Sinclair says she had to watch Kelani Jordan walk around like no one could touch her. She says Jordan is "The Stand Out", but "The Stand Out" will become the stand down at Halloween Havoc and demands she come to the ring so they can sign their contract. 

Jordan appears and says she has a gift for Sinclair, then pulls a beaten down Kendal Grey into the ringside area and runs to the back when Sinclair slides out of the ring to check on Grey.

We then head backstage, where Zilla Fatu requests that Robert Stone bring back the Halloween Havoc wheel in order for him to beat down Charlie Dempsey, with Dempsey having requested a match against Zilla earlier that same night.

We then head over to the men's locker room, where Osiris Griffin and Cutler James enter looking to attack Cruz Montana. Montana beats down both men. 

The bell rings and the two lock up. Montana delivers a cannonball to Lennox in the corner of the ring, but Lennox exposes the concrete on the outside of the ring. Montana responds by sending Lennox crashing into the ring post on the outside.

Back from the break, Lennox runs over Montana with a clothesline. Montana spears Lennox through the barricade, but security holds back both men. Montana bodyslams Lennox on top of the exposed concrete and grabs one of the ring steps, then uses them to hit Lennox and James with. Montana levels one of the security guards, but then gets arrested for his actions as the show goes off the air.

Winner: N/A
