WWE NXT on USA: Live Results, Highlights, and Grades for Sept. 25
By Bryan Heaton
After a solid debut episode, WWE NXT continues its run on the USA Network with several big-time matches. What’s in store this week? Follow our live review for all the results and highlights!
The premiere episode of WWE NXT on the USA Network was pretty, pretty, pretty good, to quote Larry David. From a terrific women’s fatal four-way to open the show to crowning a new North American Champion, the residents of Full Sail University brought their A-game. That doesn’t even mention the great matches that took place on the WWE Network in Hour Two.
Clearly, NXT is putting their best foot forward, so what can we expect from this week’s offering? According to WWE’s official preview, there are four points worth mentioning. The first builds off of the chaos that engulfed the end of last week’s broadcast, namely Killian Dain and Matt Riddle.
In the main event last week, Riddle and Dain squared off in a Street Fight, but they went a little bonkers. Most of the NXT locker room got involved, and there was no clear cut winner. After the show went off the air, General Manager William Regal announced a rematch this week — still a Street Fight, but with the winner moving on to face NXT Champion Adam Cole at a later date.
While Riddle and Dain are beating each other senseless, there is some happier news on the NXT front. Dakota Kai, on the shelf with an injury for all of 2019 so far, is set to return to action. The Captain of Team Kick will be sure to make an impact in her return, but who will she face?

Every good saga deserves a third chapter*, and this week WWE NXT provides one with Dominik Dijakovic facing Keith Lee. The first encounter between these two behemoths ended in a double countout; in the rematch, Dijakovic secured the victory in a must-see match. Can Lee even the score? And will this HOSS FIGHT rival the quality of the earlier bouts?
(*-yes, I know they faced each other at BOLA in a 5-star match, duh, this is inside the NXT universe)
Finally, WWE UK Champion WALTER made his presence felt last week, as he and Imperium laid waste to Denzel Dejournette before a scheduled match with Kushida. After Kushida made his displeasure known, WALTER challenged him to find two partners for a six-man tag match this week. Will anyone be brave enough to join Kushida to face the monstrous faction from overseas?
