WWE NXT Recap of November 10, 2026
WWE NXT Orlando, Florida
The commentators are Vic Joseph and Wade Barrett. The French-language commentator is Christophe Agius.
– Tonight it’s WWE NXT, the yellow show kicks off with a video recap of last week’s events.
– CM Punk’s music hits! But no, this week we’re not NXT facing AEW Dynamite, so Grayson Waller comes to the ring to Punk’s theme to mock the fans. Waller says the fans seem to have forgotten that this is his home here. He must admit he was surprised by last week. Not because he beat CM Punk, he knew it. But because of how important the NXT title has become. He beat CM Punk for the NXT title, he beat the best in the world. One can say what one wishes, someday Punk will be inducted as one of the best and he beat him. So what’s next for him? He has already confirmed his place as the greatest NXT champion of all time.
Waller says that he has won the NXT title. He has made the men’s division interesting. That makes him the best in the world now that he beat CM Punk. He is the best on the mic, in this ring and even as a commentator. No one can touch him in this roster or anywhere else. He invites anyone to come face him properly. He will continue until NXT gives him someone who can beat him, but it looks like there is nobody. The music of Shiloh Hill plays and he arrives to the ring. Hill says he fought his demons in a unique journey, but he watched Waller from afar. Waller wants to know who will be next to confront him. But he has a question too, when Waller said the NXT roster was weak, who did he think would be frustrated? Those who are cowardly or those who give everything?
Hill says he was the first to come face Waller. Waller knows how involved he is in NXT. He is always around. He always helps prepare the Live Events. He has played the most matches. So Waller’s statement frustrated him the most here. Waller says that finally someone from the roster is telling him this in person. Hill is not a coward like the others. But in fact, Hill is not ready to be honest yet. Grayson Waller leaves the ring, but Mason Rook rushes in to attack him from behind! Rook pushes him onto the ring, Hill hits him with a Spinebuster. Hill and Rook share a staredown.
– Backstage, Kam Hendrix says that NXT is a matter of passion and creativity and potential for John Cena. It’s time to prove that he is exactly that.
– Backstage, EK Prosper says Hendrix will pay for costing him his shot at the North American Championship.
– In a video earlier, John Cena meets Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno. Cena says Dar has been in WWE for a decade, which is great. He also notes that Moreno has wrestled in Mexico, Japan, the United Kingdom, and now in WWE. And Moreno finds himself paired with someone who admires in tandem. He loves seeing someone like Dar open the door for the next generation. That’s exactly what he wants to see for the December 14 John Cena Classic, so he invites the two to compete! The perseverance and passion of both represent what he is looking for. They deserve their place. John Cena hands them the official invitation.
– Backstage, Vanity Project is angry to see Moreno and Dar securing a spot in the John Cena Classic. Myka Lockwood puts everyone in their place, saying that they must act if they are angry.
Singles Match
Kam Hendrix vs EK Prosper
At the end of the match, Hendrix knocks Prosper off the top rope; Prosper leaps from the corner with a kick, but Hendrix rises and traps Prosper, only for Prosper to counter and hit a Drop Kick. Prosper avoids a charge in the corner and fires back with a Moonsault for the three-count.
Winner: EK Prosper
– After the bout, Kam Hendrix is furious from the defeat and starts trashing things at ringside.
– In a video, Myles Borne runs into Tony D’Angelo. Borne asks if he’s still spending time thinking and heading home. D’Angelo says he’s going back to work.
– Backstage, Vanity Project attacks Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno to vent their frustration about their place in the John Cena Classic.
Singles Match
Izzi Dame vs Wren Sinclair
At the end of the match, Dame attempts a Powerbomb on Sinclair, but Sinclair shoves her off and quickly covers, though Dame kicks out. Sinclair applies a direct Final Wrench. Dame resists and escapes the hold, but Sinclair shoves her into the corner and quickly covers again, but Dame resists. Sinclair dodges a Big Boot and looks for an Alabama Slam but Dame escapes. Dame uses the opportunity to execute a Running Knee on Sinclair for the three-count.
Winner: Izzi Dame
– After the match, Izzi Dame celebrates her victory, but Zaria arrives to deliver a Spear and an F5!
– In a video earlier today, John Cena reunites with Kelani Jordan to officially invite her to the John Cena Classic. Jordan thanks him. Cena says it’s the moment the whole world gets to see her.
– Backstage, Blake Howard asks Zilla Fatu what awaits now that his spot in the John Cena Classic is confirmed. Fatu says this whole thing is crazy. He says he is focused on one thing, and that is the NXT title. Hill and Rook want their shot, but so does he. As Grayson Waller loves to talk, he plans to confront him at the end of the night.
– The NXT Champion Kelani Jordan is in the ring. Kelani Jordan says that last week she defeated the first-ever NXT champion. A champion who built the history. But who is surprised by her victory over Paige? She isn’t surprised and she isn’t surprised to have been selected for the John Cena Classic; it’s an obvious choice. Opportunities come by themselves when you are the standard. Jordan says that everyone expects more from her; everyone expects her to slip up to take her place. But that’s normal, she must deliver perfection every time she comes here. That’s why she will take a break. She has defended her title relentlessly, so we will see her again at the John Cena Classic on December 14. Kendal Grey’s music hits and she arrives in the ring.
Kendal Grey says she’d like to celebrate a bit like Jordan. Since her title loss at Heatwave, she has been injured and has undergone rehabilitation to return. She now stands before Kelani Jordan, the champion. The good news is that she is back. Jordan is so focused on being the standard that she forgets what’s in front of her. Grey says Jordan will need to give her a rematch before she takes her break. Jordan admits she had forgotten Grey, so absorbed in her own thoughts. She defeated Grey and her partner, so that’s in the past. Grey states that Jordan is still champion because she has not had her rematch. The two wrestlers argue. Robert Stone walks in and says that Kendal Grey has never had her rematch. So what’s fair is for her to get a rematch for the NXT Championship next week!
– In the parking lot, Tony D’Angelo arrives. Myles Borne stops him, saying he knew he would see him again here.
– Backstage, the WWE doctor informs Robert Stone that Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno will not be able to compete tonight due to the attack in the backstage area. Vanity Project arrives, mocking the fact they won’t be able to defend the tag titles tonight. Stone says they will still have to defend the tag titles. Vanity Project says he has less than an hour to find opponents. Stone says he will find some.
Singles Match
Chantel Monroe vs Lizzy Rain
At the end of the match, Monroe attempts to cheat with a fast count by holding onto a cable again, but the referee sees the rest. The referee and Monroe argue. Rain takes advantage to hit her Running Uppercut. Rain follows with a Running Kick for the three-count.
Winner: Lizzy Rain
– Backstage, Blake Howard asks Mason Rook if he is back for good. Rook says he gave his all to return ahead of time. He’s back to reclaim his spot as a contender for the NXT Championship. He’s been forced to watch EK Prosper, Tony D’Angelo and even CM Punk try to take the title from Grayson Waller. He’s back and no one will stop him. He will keep a close eye on Zilla Fatu’s statement tonight.
– Backstage, Blake Howard asks Kam Hendrix for his comments. Hendrix says it’s Showtime; Tony D’Angelo had his moment and it’s over. D’Angelo stops him, telling him to watch what he says. D’Angelo and Hendrix begin exchanging blows, but they are separated.
– Vanity Project discovers they will have to face Hank and Tank.
NXT Tag Team Championship – Tag Team Match
Vanity Project (Ricky Smokes and Brad Baylor) (c) vs Hank and Tank
At the end of the match, Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno come to ringside to brawl with Vanity Project. Myka Lockwood takes advantage of the distraction to shove Hank as he was about to leap from the top rope. Baylor makes a quick pin on Hank for the victory.
Winners: Vanity Project
– After the bout, security separates everyone as Hank and Tank are not happy about Dar and Moreno’s interference.
– In a video from last Wednesday, Sean Legacy, Saquon Shugars, Dragon Lee and Chad Gable discuss together. Chad Gable tells Legacy that sometimes he must let go and let people face reality. It might be the case for Shugars. Tristan Angels arrives and says Legacy was out of line ruining his night with his women. Legacy says he has no problem showing Shugars in the ring that he goes too far and that Angels always loses.
– Backstage, Thea Hail and Layla Diggs talk about Hail’s hair loss. Hail says she wants to try to be comfortable with the situation. Chantel Monroe arrives and says she cannot win all her matches like Hail. Monroe says she could lose everything and it wouldn’t be as bad as Hail’s hair.
– Zilla Fatu arrives in the ring and takes the mic. Fatu says the GOAT came here last week to name him to the John Cena Classic. He remains so grateful. So he wants to thank everyone in the NXT Universe for this chance. It’s one thing to join the competition and another to go into the competition as NXT Champion. The lights go out and Darkstate arrives.
Fatu asks if it’s really Dion Lennox. He thought Lennox would be angry at the clan that stole his catchphrase last week. Osiris Griffin says Cruz Montana needed a full group because they are a real threat. Dion Lennox says it was tough 6 against 3; Montana knew he had no chance one-on-one. Fatu could end up like Cruz Montana. Lennox says what Lennox said about Montana might be true, but to him it is false. Lennox says John Cena has just given him a chance and Fatu thinks he is ready for a title match. So they will send him to the sidelines. Lennox says they will show why they are still the most dangerous group.
The Birthright music hits and the clan arrives. Lexis King says he cannot remember the last time Darkstate mattered. Charlie Dempsey says they are the most important clan and they have no trouble showing it. Zilla Fatu says Lennox clearly has a problem. If Lennox steps out of line tonight, they can face off next week. And Brithright talked about the most important clan? Perros Del Mal from AAA arrives on the ring! The three clans begin brawling on the ring while Zilla Fatu exits the ring to watch the scene.
The show ends in this chaotic brawl.
