Before Cruz could go for a cover, Waller came out of nowhere with a rolling stunner to take down Montana. He then covered D&#8217;Angelo and stole the NXT Championship. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6u\">&#8220;Lani One Shot&#8221; was able to outlast her rival Kendal Gray in an instant classic to capture the NXT Women&#8217;s Championship for the first time in her career. It was the cap on a disappointing night for WrenQCC as Zaria unified the NXT Women&#8217;s North American Championship and the NXT Women&#8217;s Speed Title with a win over Wren Sinclair and Kali Armstrong. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6z\">It was also a very rough night for Myles Borne, Tavion Heights and Nattie.

Sinclair looked to have Zaria dead to rights with the Final Wrench locked in, but Armstrong dragged Wren out of the ring and dropped her onto the floor with a scoop powerslam. Kali then slid back into the ring where she ran into a spear from Zaria. An F-5 later, Zaria pinned Armstrong to unify the titles.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7j\">Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes defeated Myles Borne and Tavion Heights to win the NXT Tag Team Championship. The Vanity Project was able to take advantage of a miscue between the now former tag team champions and regain the gold. After Borne and Heights collided heads in the corner, Smokes slammed Myles face-first into the turnbuckle. Baylor and Smokes then connected with Hit it and Quit it on Borne to win the titles. <\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/ANDNEW?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">#ANDNEW<\/a> \ud83e\udd2f<\/p>\n<p>The Vanity Project are once again NXT Tag Team Champions! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/GQLf3Ca3Du\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/GQLf3Ca3Du<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 WWE (@WWE) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/WWE\/status\/2094150201342656960?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">August 30, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7t\">Jaida Parker defeated Nattie in a Submission Match with a Sharpshooter. Both Karmen Petrovic and Nikkita Lyons being ringside paid dividens for Nattie early on in the match, but Karmen left the ringside area after being confronted by Berto and Angel. Thea Hail would then emerge to chase off Lyons. With an even playing field, Parker was able to lock Nattie in her own submission move and force her to tap out. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-13\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7y\">Kelani Jordan defeated Kendal Gray to win the NXT Women&#8217;s Championship. Lani one shot indeed. It may have taken her four years to get this opportunity, but once it arrived, she didn&#8217;t miss. Kelani and Kendal once again showed off their tremendous chemistry, and after an incredible back-and-forth encounter, Jordan pulled Gray injured ear first into the exposed steel of the turnbuckle. She then hit a split-legged moonsault from the top rope to claim the NXT Women&#8217;s Championship.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">LANI ONE SHOT \ud83e\udef0<\/p>\n<p>In her FIRST NXT Women\u2019s Title Match, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/kelani_wwe?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">@kelani_wwe<\/a> has defeated Kendal Grey to WIN the gold! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/2TFo9NCvKg\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/2TFo9NCvKg<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 WWE (@WWE) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/WWE\/status\/2094164809377796583?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">August 30, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-15\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"88\">NXT General Manager Robert Stone announced that NXT Halloween Havoc will return on Saturday, October 31. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-16\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"8d\">Jackson Drake defeated Myles Borne to win the NXT Men&#8217;s North American Championship. An already exhausted Borne gave it his best effort, but he was unable to overcome the advantage of The Vanity Project at ringside. Tavion Heights was able to neutralize Baylor and Smokes, but while the referee was occupied with them, Borne was blasted from behind by Myka Lockwood.

With Fatu and Waller (seemingly) taken out of the fray, D&#8217;Angelo and Montana battled center ring with the NXT Title hanging in the balance. Cruz appeared to have the gold won after he hit Tony D with Spin the Block, but Waller took him down a rolling stunner out of nowhere. Grayson then covered D&#8217;Angelo, and won the title off of Montana&#8217;s handy work.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.minutemediacdn.com\/platform\/google_discover_icon.svg\" class=\"shrink-0\"\/>Add us as a preferred source on Google<a aria-label=\"Follow si.com on Google News\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=si.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" preventdefault:click=\"\" class=\"flex h-[30px] w-[30px] shrink-0 items-center justify-center rounded-full bg-primary font-group-large text-sm font-medium text-white transition-colors hover:bg-secondary focus:bg-secondary md:w-auto md:gap-2.5 md:px-4 md:py-[5px]\" on:pointerenter=\"q-BoGJWvpc.js#s_1NOcOpHWmT0\" on:touchstart=\"q-H9q8BpPo.js#s_R8AiGTDeM28\" on:focus=\"q-BYEsQQaF.js#s_gxiTM6qMMu8\" on:click=\"q-CNwNFlTm.js#s_lDqay9E5m5g[0]\" q:id=\"8y\">Follow<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It&#8217;s a brand new day in NXT.
