WWE NXT (March 3, 2026): Women's title match; Vengeance Day build; Ricky Saints appears & more announced for next week

WWE NXT this week featured multiple title matches.

In the lead-up to NXT Vengeance Day 2026, the developmental brand delivered the February 24 edition of WWE NXT, featuring a stacked card with multiple title clashes that saw new Champions crowned and some unexpected betrayals.

In the first match of the show, The Vanity Project (Brad Baylor & Ricky Smokes) defeated DarkState (Osiris Griffin & Saquon Shugars) to capture the NXT Tag Team titles, after a little interference from Tony D’Angelo.

On the other hand, Keanu Carver defeated Sean Legacy, while Elio LeFleur triumphed over Jasper Troy and Eli Knight to win the Speed Championship, creating history as he became the second Frenchman to hold a WWE title.

Elsewhere on the card, NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne retained over Sol Ruca, after the latter was betrayed by Zaria, who attacked her before the match even began, giving the Champion a massive edge.

 With a future title opportunity hanging in the balance, Blake Monroe battled Thea Hail in a Women’s Speed Championship No. 1 Contender’s Tournament match; however, Hail managed to pin Monroe after an interference from Jaida Parker.

In the second singles match of the show, Uriah Connors defeated Kale Dixon, while in the main event, Myles Borne defeated Ethan Page to win the NXT North American title, ending Page’s title reign at 273 days.

Zaria now looks to claim the NXT Women’s title next week

After turning on Sol Ruca, Zaria confronted NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne backstage and demanded a title match for next week. GM Robert Stone made the match official, noting that he didn’t want to reward Zaria’s behavior, but Jayne agreed to the match herself.

Furthermore, after a brawl this week, Shiloh Hill will team up with former Tag Champions Hank & Tank (Hank Walker & Tank Ledger) in a six-man showdown against the Vanity Project (Jackson Drake, Brad Baylor & Ricky Smokes).

On the other hand, Ricky Saints will preside over a special segment dubbed the “Absolute Experience” during next week’s show, ahead of his title match against reigning NXT Champion Joe Hendry on March 7.

Meanwhile, Izzi Dame and Tatum Paxley will come face-to-face before their NXT Women’s North American title showdown at Vengeance Day. Dame has made it clear that Paxley must keep things strictly cordial, as an attack would result in Izzi pulling out of the title defense.

The March 3 episode of WWE NXT will take place at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando and will serve as the go-home show for Vengeance Day 2026, which is set for March 7 from the Performance Center.
