The July 8 edition of WWE NXT emanates from the Capitol Wrestling Center. The WWE NXT results for this week can be found here when the show goes live at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT on the CW Network.
This week’s show will be provide the go-home chaos ahead of The Great American Bash on Saturday, July 12. There are four matches confirmed for the show, with one of them seeing Hank & Tank defend the NXT Tag Team Championship against The Culling. Ricky Saints will take on the three members of The Vanity Project in a gauntlet match, all in an effort to get back to Ethan Page.
TNA’s Mike Santana and Joe Hendry will go against NXT’s High Ryze. Charlie Dempsey attempts to block the No Quarter Catch Crew falling apart when he takes on Tavion Heights.
Here is all that went down on the July 8 edition of NXT.
*If Tavion Heights wins, he can leave No Quarter Catch Crew.
An NXT women’s WWE Evolution summit is announced for later. NXT does love a good summit, so this could be very interesting.
Ricky Saints’ gauntlet match starts the show off, with NXT North American Champion Ethan Page joining the commentary team. Brad Baylor kicked things off for The Vanity Project, and Saints managed to eliminate him before taking on Ricky Smokes. The fire within Saints is clearly ignited, as he eliminates Smokes too, and the final hurdle was EVOLVE Champion, Jackson Drake.
Saints ultimately disposes of Drake too, and this earned him the right to challenge Page at The Great American Bash and choose the stipulation. Saints ultimately chose the Falls Count Anywhere stipulation.
FALLS. COUNT. ANYWHERE.
The Great American Bash just got that much bigger! @starkmanjones and @OfficialEGO are going to tear the house down for the North American Championship in Atlanta!

Zaria, Sol Ruca, Lainey Reid, Kelani Jordan, and Lola Vice are all in the locker room. They get all up in each other’s faces, with Reid in particular seeming to annoy her peers.
Jordynne Grace is at the gym, and Blake Monroe, instead of also being at the gym, is at home. Monroe plans a “glamour workout” for them instead, and this is meant to connect them ahead of their tag team match at The Great American Bash.
A glamour workout?!

What does @BlakeMonroeWWE have in store for @JordynneGrace??

Charlie Dempsey and Tavion Heights come out together, perhaps for the last time as the No Quarter Catch Crew. Dempsey resorts to underhanded tactics, and Heights is unable to defend himself. Eventually, Wren Sinclair throws in the towel, thus keeping Heights in the NQCC.
Did that just happen?!?
@WrenSinclairWWE has thrown in the towel for @TavionHeights, Charlie Dempsey is your winner…

NXT Tag Team Champions, Hank & Tank, are backstage riling each other up (with Lexis King in the background). Je’Von Evans joins the champions, and they are vibing, but Jasper Troy attacks Evans.

Although this started as a standard tag team match, the shenanigans soon came out to play. Wes Lee distracted the referee, which allowed TNA World Champion Trick Williams to attack. Despite this, Mike Santana picked up the win for himself and Joe Hendry over The High Ryze, but the numbers game was at play in a post-match beatdown.
Williams, Hendry, and Santana will have their TNA World Championship contract signing at The Great American Bash.
MESSAGE. SENT. @ThisIsTNA World Champion @_trickwilliams and The High Ryze just delivered a warning to @Santana_Proud and @joehendry…

Yoshiki Inamura immediately addresses NXT Champion Oba Femi. Never one to back down, Femi challenged Inamura to lose with the same honor he hopes to win it with. Josh Briggs, who had accompanied Inamura out to the ring, stepped to Femi, and this led to the three getting physical.
Did we just get a preview of The Great American Bash?!?@noah_yoshiki just slammed @Obaofwwe with ease!

Grace reluctantly agrees to do things Monroe’s way, and they actually get on the same page (somewhat). They agree to embrace each other’s differences, all for the main goal at hand – to win at Great American Bash and also dethrone Jacy Jayne at Evolution.
Did @BlakeMonroeWWE and @JordynneGrace just become best friends?!?
Fatal Influence isn't ready for this duo

Jordan and Reid’s match was set when the two almost came to blows in that locker room segment earlier on. Jordan is highly athletic, but Reid is crafty and motivated, so this made for an intriguing match-up. Jordan ultimately picked up the victory, and Reid was attacked post-match by Thea Hail.
WHAT A FINISH!
@kelani_wwe had a pull out a little extra to get the win!

Evans is backstage in the medical suites getting checked out following that earlier attack from Troy. As if on cue, Troy attacks Evans once more before being pulled away by officials.
He did it again!

Adrianna Rizzo plots a last sit-down with Tony D’Angelo, Channing ‘Stacks’ Lorenzo, and Luca Crusifino. Rizzo leads the meeting and confirms that the three will have a triple threat next week. Tensions are still running high, but it all comes to a head next week.
"As far as family business is concerned, this is the final battle."@AdrianaRizzoWWE did what she had to do, The D'Angelo Family implodes next week…

Troy is out in the ring demanding that NXT General Manager Ava make the NXT Championship match at The Great American Bash a triple-threat match. Evans immediately rushes out, and the two brawl in the ring. The officials eventually separate them.
A man on a mission
You just knew @WWEJeVonEvans was going to get the last laugh tonight

The Culling has a meeting, with Tatum Paxley there with them. They make their plans clear – win the NXT Tag Team Championship and then win the NXT Women’s North American Championship. Now, onto the first part of that plan.
“Our home is now your home.”
Looks like The Culling might have found a new member in @TatumPaxley…

Hank & Tank were fired up for this match, and they wasted no time getting into it with The Culling. This match was a fast-paced and action-packed affair, with Booker T inadvertently catching a stray. Sol Ruca and Zaria came out and got Izzi Dame and Tatum Paxley to brawl with them to the back, allowing Hank & Tank to successfully defend and retain their titles.
Ava starts the summit and talks about the history of the Evolution PLE. Looking forward, she announces that six NXT women will be in the battle royal. Namely, they are Jaida Parker, Lola Vice, Kelani Jordan, Lash Legend, Izzi Dame, and Tatum Paxley.
Jayne and the rest of Fatal Influence come out to call out Ava. Then the rest of the ladies came out. Grace, Legend, Stephanie Vaquer, Natalya, Maxxine Dupri, Zelina Vega, Vice, Candice LeRae, Parker, Giulia, and more.
Of course, this ends in a massive brawl ahead of Evolution.
History will be made and legends will be born.
The women take the spotlight SUNDAY at WWE Evolution!
