WWE NXT live results: Two Stephanie Vaquer title defenses

Stephanie Vaquer has a big night ahead of her on WWE NXT, as she works double duty as a dual champion.

Two weeks after defeating Giulia to become a double champion, Vaquer will defend both of her belts in separate matches tonight.

Vaquer is set to make her first NXT Women’s Championship defense in a matchup against Jaida Parker. Plus, Vaquer puts the NXT Women’s North American title up for grabs against former champion Fallon Henley.

Vaquer dethroned Henley for the Women’s North American title belt back in February. She then added the NXT Women’s Championship to her collection by defeating Giulia at Roadblock.

Another championship bout is scheduled for tonight with Je’Von Evans challenging Lexis King for the Heritage Cup. A victory would kick off the first title reign of Evans’ WWE career.

NXT Stand & Deliver 2025 is fast approaching with WrestleMania weekend now under a month away. We’ll see if any matches get confirmed for the Stand & Deliver card tonight.

Join us for live coverage starting at 8 p.m. Eastern time.

**********

The first of three title matches opens the show on tonight’s televised card. The title bout is also the first defense by Stephanie Vaquer of her newly won NXT Women’s Championship, while also being the first of two title defenses for Vaquer on this episode of NXT.

NXT Women’s Champion Stephanie Vaquer defeated Jaida Parker to retain her title

Vaquer pinned Parker with a wheelbarrow victory roll, after a distraction by Jordynne Grace. The Fatal Influence trio jumped Vaquer after the match.

They wrestled through the first commercial break on the show. This was a good opener and a competitive match. Despite losing by pinfall, Parker gets to save some face because of the distraction by Grace.

Last week Parker jumped Grace, so Grace has a reason for vengeance. However, costing Parker the title because of a distraction seems heelish. But whatever. Parker and Grace had to be held apart by officials at ringside. That apparently kept the officials unable to stop the post-match run-in.

Fatal Influence (Fallon Henley, Jacy Jayne & Jazmyn Nyx) jump Vaquer after the match. The heel trio lays out Vaquer and stands over her. Later in the show, Vaquer is set to defend a title against Henley.

A couple backstage skits lead us into, and back from, a commercial break. In one skit, Trick Williams and Je’Von Evans have a tense dialogue in a locker room. Trick again insults Evans.

Lash Legend & Jakara Jackson argue with Gigi Dolan & Tatum Paxley in the women’s locker room. NXT General Manager Ava enters to help settle the dispute. Hopefully that involves a match to settle the score.

Ricky Saints joins Vic Joseph for a sit-down interview, which was interrupted and crashed by NXT North American Champion Shawn Spears. The acting by Saints was fantastic here, instead of the usual campy nature of the backstage skits on the show.

The interview starts off with Saints talking about his arrive to NXT and other perception of him, but they are soon interrupted by Spears. Joseph is run off by Spears, and Spears takes over the interview with Saints. This allowed Saints to shine, as his acting was very good.

Saints goes back-and-forth with Spears as they trade verbal jabs. Spears brings up their past, which included some references that were very inside baseball. The rest of The Culling appear at the end of the segment, as Spears issues a warning to Saints. Great segment. This appears to be Saints next program, and for a title no less.

Wes Lee is watching on a monitor backstage with Tyriek Igwe and Tyson Dupont. They soon head towards Gorilla, as they have a tag match up next.

Hank Walker & Tank Ledger are also headed to the ring. In a cameo, they run into the Motor City Machine Guns. Hank & Tank are offered some encouraging words from MCMG.

Tyriek Igwe & Tyson Dupont (with Wes Lee) defeated Hank Walker & Tank Ledger

Dupont pinned Walker clean to win the match after a double team finisher. Dupont & Ledger got a dominate win, as Hank & Tank remain underdogs.

GM Ava checks on Stephanie Vaquer in the trainer’s room, and Vaquers vows to defend both titles tonight.

NXT Heritage Cup Champion Lexis King defeated Je’Von Evans via count-out to retain the title

Second cheap finish in a title match on this show. The earlier title bout had a distraction, and this match featured blatant interference by NXT Champion Oba Femi. He powerbombed Evans on the ring apron, and Evans could not answer the 10 count.

The match was plenty good, and they were even plenty of time as it went through a commercial break. But again, the finish was a cheap way out. The heat is supposed to go on Femi I guess, but it was still a lame finish. The post-match angle sort of made up for the finish.

Dark State teases a run-in, complete with a light show. Very kind of them to give Dark State a light show, considering Dark State are invaders and all. Why they are here, who knows? They are there, but they just glare at the ring.

Evans starts brawling with Femi in the ring. Trick Willaims runs down to make a save.Trick and Femi a have a great pull-apart showdown, but not before Trick inadvertently hits Evans with a flying knee strike. Meanwhile, Dark State looks on.

Gigi Dolan & Tatum Paxley defeated Lash Legend & Jakara Jackson

Paxley pinned Jackson after Cemetery Drive , which is the name of the double team finisher from Dolan & Paxley. They are set to challenge for the TNA Knockouts tag teal titles on an upcoming episode of Impact, so they went over strong here.

Tony D’Angelo is sitting down with The Family in a vignette. This was like something out of The Sopranos. D’Angelo asks Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo if he is good. Stacks says he is indeed good except for the situation with Dark State.

D’Angelo asks Stacks if he can trust him. Stacks tells “T” that he can always trust him. A stone face “Don” stares into the distance as Stacks leaves the room.

Ethan Page defeated Andre Chase (with Kale Dixon & Uriah Connors)

Before the match, Ricky Saints blows past Page on his way to the announce desk for guest commentary. The actual match itself was set up with a locker room skit where Chase sticks up for Dixon when Page tries to bully him.

Page pinned Chase clean after a Twist of Fate. Just before that, Chase kicked out after a super powerslam. Chase fought valiantly, but Chase delivers “Twisted Grin” before scoring the deciding pinfall. They had a long match that was good for the most part.

Saints has words with Page after the match, after Page eggs it on. Suddenly, Shawn Spears ambushes Saints. The rest of The Culling then move in to stand over Saints, who is laid out at ringside by Spears. This angle sets up a North American title match for next week with Spears defending against Saints.

Dark State cuts a promo that was originally uploaded to social media.

A fired up Trick Williams cuts a promo on Oba Femi, but Trick comments on Je’Von Evans. Trick refers to the knee strikes on Evans as “collateral damage”, and Trick calls Evans a “distraction” from Trick’s goal of regaining the NXT title.

Trick also cuts a promo on Femi, saying Femi knows where to find him next week. Trick is asked about Dark State, and Trick says that is none of his business.

NXT Women’s North American Champion Stephanie Vaquer defeated Fallon Henley (with Fatal Influence) to retain the title

Vaquer pinned Henley after interference from Nyz backfires on the heels. Really good match. Henley should be on the main roster. The trio of Fatal Influence jumps Vaquer after the match, and Jordynne Grace runs down to make a save. Jaida Parker also runs in to brawl with Grace.

Parker shoves Grace into Vaquer, after Grace and Vaquer had a mild tug-o-war over the NXT title belt. Grace brawls with Parker, and Grace sends Parker outside the ring. Vaquer then spins Grace around for a face-to-face stare down.
