At the NXT Battleground 2025, Stephanie Vaquer was confronted and slapped in the face by Jacy Jayne. Following this, a title match was announced for NXT between Vaquer and Jayne. This match main evented this week’s episode of the black and silver brand.

During the match, Jayne and Fallon Henley got into a bit of an argument, and they even shoved Jazmyn Nyx to the floor. However, as it seemed like things were about to implode between the Fatal Influence, they came together in the end. Nyx distracted the referee while Fallon Henley hit Stephanie with a 619-like move. This allowed Jacy Jayne to pin Vaquer and become the new NXT Women's Champion in a surprising conclusion to the show.

Due to the Stamford-based promotion's partnership with TNA Wrestling, Mike Santana made an appearance at NXT Battlegrounds 2025, where he was interviewed backstage. However, this interview segment was interrupted by the No Quarter Catch Crew. As a result, Santana challenged one of them to a match on NXT this week.

So, on the black and silver brand, Mike Santana faced off against Tavion Heights in a singles match, thereby making it his official WWE debut after several years of wrestling on the independent scene.

Seth Rollins, Finn Balor, and Sami Zayn battled last night in the main event of WWE RAW. Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, Jey Uso, and Dominik Mysterio got involved in the match.
