Live report of WWE NXT March 3, 2026

WWE NXT begins on Netflix!

The show starts with a recap video of last week's episode.

Myles Borne is the one to open tonight's show. The new NXT North American Champion is welcomed with a great ovation. "You deserve it!" chants the audience. Borne assures that it feels great to appear with the title and be introduced as such. Myles reminds the fans who already know his story. That's why tonight he won't thank his family and fans, who have always believed in him. Instead, he wants to thank his biggest hater, Ethan Page, the person who told him he lacked killer instinct. "All Ego" only added fuel to the fire, allowing the demon inside him to come out. "You want to provoke me? I'll respond. Because I'm not going to sit here like a boy scout, and I assure you I'm not an angel either. So, if I have to show that part of me to keep this title, so be it. Can you hear me now?", asks Myles as he raises his championship.

Ethan Page interrupts the scene!

"Of course I can hear you, Myles! What I've heard is: 'Thank you, Ethan Page'", says "All Ego". He points out that, if it weren't for him, Myles would still be the same weakling and not the champion everyone can see. But now it's time for Myles to return the favor. "Last week you got lucky. ANYONE can have a good night. I had a bad night, but let me tell you something: I've had millions of good nights", says Ethan before listing some of his achievements since he arrived at NXT. "Myles, if there's anyone in that locker room who deserves a rematch, it's the guy who has carried this brand for the last two years", he states. Borne knew Ethan would come out asking for this match. You could say it's a "champion's intuition". Regarding his request, Myles has no hesitation in granting his wish, so he will talk to Robert Stone about it. "All Ego" is fine with that, but he wants that rematch tonight. The Interim General Manager of NXT appears on the scene to promise them they will have what they want, but suggests they go backstage to get their gear. Myles takes off his jacket. "No! This guy wants to be a fighting champion! Look at him, he accepted my challenge! Stone, I say we do this here and now!", exclaims Page. Stone refuses to argue, so he orders a referee to enter. The referee runs into the ring to start the match.

Myles Borne (c) vs. Ethan Page

Borne attacks Page before he can take off his jacket. Myles throws Ethan out of the ring to continue hitting his rival on the commentary table. The action returns to the ring, where Borne surprises his opponent with a neckbreaker. Page attacks the champion's eyes to take control. "All Ego" knocks down Borne with a back elbow. 1..2..NO.

Myles tries to counterattack, but the challenger knocks him down with a powerslam. 1..2..NO. Ethan hits Borne's back with several knee strikes before trapping him in a headlock. Myles throws several elbows to free himself, only to receive a facebreaker from "All Ego". 1..2..NO. Borne blocks a new powerslam to respond with an inverted DDT.

The champion continues to hit Ethan, tearing his shirt in the process. Myles knocks down Page with a dropkick. "All Ego" grabs the ropes as Borne pulls him, causing the challenger's pants to tear. Page surprises Myles from his position to throw him against the ropes. Ethan holds his opponent's belt in his hands, with which he is about to hit him. However, the referee warns him not to. Page throws the belt aside. While the official picks it up, "All Ego" takes off his own belt to hit the champion. Borne falls to the canvas. Ethan covers him. The referee returns to make the count. 1...2...NO.

Myles recovers to catch Page in an Ankle Lock. Desperate, "All Ego" grabs the ropes. The challenger's leg slips through Myles' hands, who ends up with Ethan's pants and a shoe in his possession. Borne hides the shoe and hands the referee the pants. The official approaches the ropes to remove the garment from the ring, a moment that Myles takes advantage of to hit Page's head with his own shoe. Borne finishes off his opponent with a ZigZag. 1..2..3.

Winner and STILL NXT North American Champion: Myles Borne

We move to the parking lot of the venue. Sarah Schreiber approaches Zaria to ask her about her controversial actions from last week. "If you have to ask that question, you don't understand it", responds the upset Australian before continuing on her way. A few meters ahead, DarkState as a whole grow impatient as they wait for Tony D'Angelo to arrive. Robert Stone appears on the scene (accompanied by a multitude of security members). The Interim General Manager of NXT informs them that the don is on his way, so he asks them to accompany him inside the venue. Cutler James makes it clear that they are going to get their hands on D'Angelo. Stone understands, but insists they do it inside. Security accompanies the faction inside the venue. At that moment, a car parks outside the venue. From inside it comes Tony D'Angelo. He opens the trunk to grab a crowbar. The don heads inside the building as the segment comes to an end.

Blake Monroe makes his entrance. "The Glamour" heads to the ring, where he takes a microphone. Monroe confesses that Jaida Parker's interruption from a few weeks ago and the attack last week, which ended up costing her the elimination in the WWE Speed tournament, did not make her angry. Those acts made her realize that Parker needs her. And she understands it, because after all, she is the center of NXT. Everyone admires her, even the people who claim to hate her. Jaida knows she can't rise on her own, so she has decided to approach Blake to achieve it. "Whether you admit it or not, this division revolves around me", she says. "Poor Jaida is like all the others back there, begging for an opportunity, begging to be in the spotlight. I'll be charitable and share some of my spotlight with her at Vengeance Day. Then I'll step over her until Stand & Deliver".

Jaida Parker interrupts the segment!

Jaida believes that Blake talks too much about her, so maybe she should shut her mouth. Parker assures that Monroe lives in a fantasy world while trying to convince everyone that she is more important than she really is. Jaida points out that "The Glamour" is nothing more than an insecure woman. However, Parker doesn't care what others think of her. Blake, on the other hand, needs to be the center of attention because it's the only way she can stop feeling like a supporting character. And that's why the British woman needs Parker and not the other way around. And at Vengeance Day, she will show her how weak she really is. Monroe tries to interrupt her, but Jaida doesn't allow it. "You don't even believe the words coming out of your mouth, Blake. You're scared, honey. Because underneath that ego polished over the years, you're not who you think you are. I mean, yes, you did something great and you can't stop talking about it, but take away all the theatrics, ignore the fact that everyone loves to hate The Glamour, because without all that, you're just a mediocre bitch", says Jaida. Blake responds with a slap, starting a fight. Parker quickly takes the lead. Monroe takes refuge in the ropes, where she receives a Hipnotic. The British woman ends up at ringside. Two referees appear to prevent both women from resuming the fight. This is how we reach the end of this segment.

We move to the men's locker room, where Ricky Saints tries to cheer up a dejected Ethan Page. The Vanity Project (Jackson Drake, Brad Baylor, and Ricky Smokes) approach them to apologize to "All Ego". Drake deeply regrets not being with him in the first match of the night, but they were unaware that it was going to take place. Saints downplays it, as he knows they were preparing for their tag team match later that night. Additionally, Drake must focus on his match tomorrow at Evolve: Succession II, where he will have to defend the brand's top gold. That said, Ricky signals for them to leave. Once alone, Saints resumes his goal of cheering up Page, who still hasn't said a word. Ricky reminds him that he is the greatest North American Champion in history, and people like them always come back to the top. He, for example, will regain the NXT Championship at Vengeance Day, and he has no doubt that Page will do the same. That said, he apologizes to "All Ego" as he has to leave to prepare his throat for his "Absolute Experience". Saints leaves the locker room to end this segment.

Elio LeFleur, Eli Knight, and Sean Legacy discuss backstage what happened last week. Knight and Legacy congratulate LeFleur on his title victory. Knight recalls that it was he who left the champion knocked out, only for the Frenchman to steal the glory. However, he can't be mad at him because that victory was for all three of them. Legacy regrets not being able to beat Keanu Carver, but promises them that this is not over. Jasper Troy joins the conversation to make it clear that Carver is not dangerous, not even a threat. Not with him around. "I want my Speed Championship back", he adds. Knight reminds him that this title is not made for men like him, but for talents that bring speed to the matches. Josh Briggs joins the conversation to agree with the rookies: Troy is no longer the best Powerhouse in NXT. Not after losing to them. Upset, Jasper challenges LeFleur and Knight to face him next week in a triple threat match. And once he's done with them, he'll regain the championship. Troy leaves without waiting for a response.

Winner by submission: Wren Sinclair (2:55)

Joe Hendry approaches Myles Borne to congratulate him on his victory last week. Borne thanks him before pointing out that he loved the story of the Scotsman that was shown last week. Joe appreciates those words coming from an inspiring person like Myles. Hendry claims to have gone through a lot to get where he is, but nothing compared to what Borne had to go through, so winning the North American Championship seems incredible to him. Myles points out that nothing he's been through is as bad as having to listen to Ricky Saints. Joe can't imagine what "The Absolute" will bring in his segment, but now he'd like to be deaf. "You wouldn't like that, Joe," says Myles before turning around. Joe stops him to apologize for a joke he understands was in bad taste. Borne turns around again, pretending to hit the Scotsman. "I'm just messing with you, Joe. You're not the only one with a sense of humor", says a smiling Myles. Hendry breathes a sigh of relief. Borne thanks him once again for his words before saying goodbye. This is how we reach the end of this segment.

Kelani Jordan stars in a video showing the training she will follow to prepare for her Underground Match against Lola Vice at NXT Vengeance Day. Jordan visits Shayna Baszler's gym, who will be in charge of preparing her for her match on Saturday. Baszler hands her a jump rope to start jumping. Shayna asks Kelani if she knows what she's getting into, as Vice is not a woman to be messed with. Jordan reminds her that she has already defeated her by submission once, and she will do it again. Shayna points out that it's time to change the exercise. Kelani believes her athletic abilities will be an advantage for her on Saturday, but Baszler assures her they won't. Kelani escapes a Gojira Clutch by spinning around to respond with a superkick, surprising Baszler. Jordan watches her coach with a confident smile on her face. This is how we reach the end of this segment.

Izzi Dame and Tatum Paxley hold a meeting in The Culling's lair. Along with them is Tatum's old dollhouse. She asks why Shawn Spears and Niko Vance aren't there. Izzi replies that they are not needed, as they know she is safe, because if Paxley lays a finger on her, the match on Saturday will be suspended. Dame points out that one of the first lessons she taught Paxley was that The Culling can give, but also take away. Tatum recalls how she eliminated Spears and Vance to defeat Dame at New Year's Evil. Izzi, on the other hand, reminds her that she was the one who ended up triumphing that night by winning the NXT Women's North American Championship. Dame wants to know the new version that Tatum claims to be, because for her she is still the same. Izzi describes Paxley as a pathetic woman, unable to improve. Tatum recalls the greatest achievement of her career: winning the NXT Women's Championship. "I remember winning it and thinking it would be the best day of my life, but I was wrong. Because nothing will surpass the satisfaction I will feel when I take away your NXT Women's North American Championship at Vengeance Day. And then you'll understand that you should never have messed with me", says Tatum as she drops Izzi's doll onto her real version. Paxley leaves the place. Furious, Dame tears off the doll's head and then throws the dollhouse to the ground. This is how we reach the end of this segment.

Tank Ledger, Hank Walker, and Shiloh Hill make their entrance, only to be attacked by The Vanity Project! The two teams start a fight at ringside. The heels drag a part of the metal stairs to one side of the ring intending to use it as a weapon, but the action moves inside the ring.

Winners: Hank Walker, Tank Ledger and Shiloh Hill

Blake Monroe climbs onto the commentary table, interrupting the winners’ celebration. The Brit addresses Jaida Parker directly, congratulating her for getting what she wanted. "This ends at Vengeance Day — in a Street Fight!" she exclaims. Parker quickly appears on the scene. The two women meet in the ring, where they immediately begin brawling. Hill, Tank, and Walker soon intervene to separate them.

We head backstage, where Osiris Griffin has been attacked. Furious, his teammates demand revenge, pointing out that they should have finished Tony D'Angelo in the parking lot. Robert Stone shows up. Saquon Shugars directly blames him for promising that everything would be under control inside the arena. Dion Lennox tells Shugars and Cutler James to get their partner out of here. Meanwhile, he will go looking for Tony D'Angelo to settle this matter.

In a pre-recorded video from Dr. Martin’s office, we see him showing an X-ray of her hand to Lola Vice. The doctor warns her about the consequences of competing at NXT Vengeance Day. These range from worsening the injury — which could sideline her for six months — to deformities or even permanent loss of function. Lola cannot afford to miss that much time, especially with Stand & Deliver so close, but she also refuses to back down from her conflict with Kelani Jordan. Vice has no intention of leaving Vengeance Day injured, yet she will still sign a document releasing WWE’s doctors and medical staff from any responsibility for what might happen. "On Saturday, I will silence Kelani Jordan once and for all," Lola promises. The doctor accepts her decision but wants to see her after the show. And with that, the segment comes to an end.

Dion Lennox heads to the ring to demand the presence of Tony D'Angelo. He makes his entrance in the stands. "How does it feel, Dion? The hunter becomes the hunted. I know that feeling. Because you are responsible for my life falling apart last year. You had to take down one of the most powerful men in NXT. Congratulations," D'Angelo says. He points out that he should have killed that man, because now he’s back — and more dangerous than ever. Tony already warned him: he will take out DarkState one by one. And with Vengeance Day right around the corner, he can’t think of a better stage to finish Lennox. Dion accepts the challenge but warns him that he’ll end him in the parking lot as soon as he sees him. "I’ll be ready, Dion. Ready to kick your ass in the parking lot, drag your lifeless body to the ring, and beat you in front of the whole world. On Saturday, one of the two reasons that brought me back to NXT will be complete," Tony says. And with that, the segment ends.

Sarah Schreiber interviews Fatal Influence backstage. Jacy Jayne regrets getting involved in the breakup of Sol Ruca and Zaria. Moreover, the latter doesn’t stand the slightest chance of taking the NXT Women’s Championship from her tonight. Jayne mocks Ruca and Zaria and how things ended between them. Jacy compares them to Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid, who accept their roles. Jayne promises that tonight she will defeat Zaria to finally clear her path toward Stand & Deliver.

At that moment, Lexis King, Uriah Connors, Arianna Grace, and Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo appear, still determined to recruit Dempsey into their faction. Lexis tells Charlie that the offer still stands. Connors recalls how he left his former partner behind after defeating him last week to officially join "Birthright." "Join us and we’ll get everything we deserve," he says. Heights hopes Dempsey won’t join this group of clowns. Arianna steps forward to remind him that she is a champion. "Your friends have moved on. Shouldn’t you do the same? Think about it," Grace tells Charlie before leaving with her teammates. Heights sincerely hopes Charlie won’t join them. Dempsey remains silent and thoughtful as the segment ends.

Ricky Saints makes his entrance. "The Absolute" sits on a stool placed in the center of the ring. Ricky welcomes the fans to his "Absolute Experience," a gift for them ahead of his match against Joe Hendry at NXT Vengeance Day. Ricky picks up a guitar to dedicate a "song" to the Scotsman. However, he seems uncomfortable. Ricky orders a production crew member to bring him a chair. Once seated, Saints resumes his song, but his shrill tone continues to annoy the fans.

Ricky once again calls over the crew member to adjust his microphone. Saints resumes his song, continuing to pierce the audience’s ears. Ricky stops again, claiming his guitar is out of tune. That’s why he orders the crew member to hand him another one. However, when he receives the new guitar, the assistant refuses to let go.
