It’s Tuesday night and that means a brand new episode of WWE NXT for October 5th, and Ringside News has you covered with live play-by-play results coverage.
Start time for NXT is at 8:00 PM EST. Match-by-match highlights and results from the show will take place on this very page. Feel free to leave any reactions in the comment section below.
Tonight’s NXT will kick-off with Mandy Rose taking on Ember Moon. WWE seems pretty high on Rose and her group, Toxic Attraction, and she’s heading straight into a title feud with Raquel Gonzalez. That’s not all for the ladies however, as we can also expect another edition of Lashing Out with Lash Legend, and Cora Jade will make her in-ring debut.
Also making their debut tonight is the Soprano character, Tony D’Angelo, who looks to start his career off right. MSK will team with new boys Josh Briggs and Brooks Jenson to face Grizzled Young Veterans, Trick Williams & Carmelo Hayes. And finally we’re getting treated to L.A Knight Vs. Odyssey Jones. There will likely be lots more that’s currently unannounced but it’s sure to be an action-heavy episode of NXT 2.0.
That’s the preview for tonight’s NXT. Our live coverage will begin from 8PM right here. Let us know if you’re excited about any of it and remember to hit the refresh link below and enjoy the show!
Toxic Attraction come out to the boo’s of the Capitol Wrestling Centre. Her opponent is out next wearing a glow-in-the-dark mask.
The match gets underway and Rose takes a side headlock. Moon shoots her off and hits a forearm to drop her. Moon jumps over Rose but gets slapped in the face. Rose talks trash but Moon clobbers her with a forearm, then hangs her in the tree of woe and kicks her in the back a few times but Gigi Dolan drags Rose out of the ring.
As Toxic Attraction regroup, Moon comes flying through the ropes with a suicide dive to Jayne! Rose attempts a huricanrana but Moon holds her up and hits a powerbomb onto the apron! Moon gets Rose back inside but takse a moment to shove Dolan onto her ass. Moon gets back inside but Rose attacks her. Mandy hits a unique inverted suplex, then beats Moon in the corner before applying a body scissors.

*Commercial Break*
The match gets underway and Knight is reluctant to lock-up with Jones. He ducks and dodges him, then punches him with a right and taunts. Jones roars and backs Knight up but again LA hits a right hand. Jones grabs and throws him into the corner, then clubs him and hits another throw across the ring. Knight goes outside to regroup, and when he gets back in he beats Odyssey down. Knight hangs Jones on the middle rope and chokes him while drilling him with forearms to the back.
Knight hits a running knee and follows-up with a leaping elbow drop for a one-count and Jones tosses him off.

Suddenly Andre Chase appears and distracts Odyssey, allowing Knight to hit a neckreaker. Knight covers and Chase puses Jones’s foot away from the ropes to ensure he loses.
Cameron Grimes is interviewed backstage and he says love is in the air in NXT. You have InDex and their beautiful wedding, as well as Cora Jade and Trey Baxter making out everywhere. He’s jealous and so he’s on the prowl for a lucky lady. Pete Dunne and Ridge Holland appear and Dunne says things may be changing around NXT but he’s still the baddest man around. He challenges Griems to a match but he just walks off and tries to hit on two women.
*Commercial Break*
Kyle O’Reilly and Von Wagoner are in the locker room and O’Reilly asks why he’s rescued him twice. Wagoner says he doesn’t like Dunne or Holland but he respects O’Reilly, he has heart. O’Reilly says, after the past year, he can’t trust anybody, so he appreciates it but he stay out of his business.
NXT Champion, Tommaso Ciampa, comes to the ring. Ciampa says Halloween Havoc is returning to NXT later this month and the Champ needs an opponent. One man in particular claims he’s not planning on waiting long to become Champion but actions speak louder than words, so who has the balls to come out and confront him?
Bron Breakker comes out. Breakker says he’s treated Ciampa with nothing but respect but he doesn’t give a damn how long he’s been in NXT, he wants to be the Champion. And he has the biggest balls in the locker room, so it’s obvious it should be them at Halloween Havoc. Ciampa says the difference between them is that Breakker wants the titles but he needs it. To Breakker the title is a stepping stone to something bigger but to Ciampa it is the pinnacle. Halloween Havoc is three weeks away, so Breakker has three weeks to go from intern to PhD. Challenge accepted.
Joe Gacy cuts a promo backstage. He says while yesterday the world sat still when social media crashed, he still had his voice. The voice of a generation of diversity. And he knows one platform that will never crash: NXT. Tonight he will congregate in the safe space and come to a peaceful resolution with someone and there can be two winners.

After the match Gacy lifts Jiro up and hugs him. Gacy leaves and applauds Ikemen. On his way up the ramp, Gacy sees an intense “fan” standing up and staring at him. They share a staredown and I’m pretty sure it’s the kid who looks like Brock Lesnar with tattoos.
