September 2, 2025 brought another stacked episode of WWE NXT, setting the stage for No Mercy. Lash Legend and Jaida Parker clashed in a brutal match, Candice LeRae returned to NXT for the Women’s Speed Championship Tournament, and Jordynne Grace kept her momentum alive with a hard-hitting victory. Let’s get into the details!
Lash Legend vs. Jaida Parker
The bell rang and Lash set the tone early, pie-facing Jaida to send a message. Jaida answered with a slap, but Lash quickly muscled her into the corner, hammering shoulder thrusts and a kneelift. Jaida slipped out of Lash’s grasp, turned the tables in the corner with her own shoulder strikes, and charged for a hip smash—only to be caught and tossed into the ropes, where Lash leveled her with a splash for a nearfall.
Jaida fired back with a sunset flip attempt, but Lash powered out and rolled her up for a series of pins, including a crisp La Magistral. Back on her feet, Jaida zeroed in on Lash’s arm, trying to ground the powerhouse, but Lash fought back with heavy forearms. Jaida’s agility came into play as she countered out of Lash’s clutches, but a tense exchange at the apron left both women trading strikes.
Jaida stayed focused, soaring off the top rope with a crossbody for a nearfall. Lash answered with a devastating chokeslam, nearly ending it before the break.
Returning from commercial, Lash maintained control with a bear hug, but Jaida battled free and rallied with three consecutive shoulder tackles, finally toppling Lash. The crowd lit up as Jaida hit a corner hip smash and a Backstabber, following up with a leaping neckbreaker for two. Lash countered the Hypnotic attempt with a knee and swung momentum back with a massive backbreaker.
Jaida evaded a corner charge, sending Lash into the steel post, and nailed a teardrop shot. She hoisted Lash up for a Samoan Drop, but Lash bailed to the outside and yanked Jaida’s hair to regain control. Back inside, Lash blasted Jaida with a pump kick and delivered the Lash Extension onto the announce desk before hitting a second Lash Extension in the ring to secure the win.
Winner: Lash Legend
Jaida wasn’t finished. Post-match, she attacked Lash at ringside, throwing her into the steel steps and smashing her through the barricade with a Hypnotic. This rivalry isn’t cooling down anytime soon.
Blake Monroe interrupted Arianna Grace and Stacks backstage, prompting tension with Jordynne Grace, who stormed in to confront Blake. A brawl nearly broke out, setting the stage for more fireworks between Blake and Jordynne.
Women’s Speed Championship Tournament: Xia Brookside vs. Candice LeRae
Xia wasted no time, rolling Candice up at the bell for two and hitting a sunset flip for another quick nearfall. Candice cut her off with a strike to the midsection and whipped her into the ropes, but Xia answered with a rana and a sharp dropkick into the corner. A meteora and Russian legsweep followed, nearly putting Candice away.
Momentum shifted when Candice shoved Xia off the top rope to the floor. The Poison Pixie capitalized, rolling Xia back inside and nailing a crisp dropkick. Candice’s moonsault attempt missed, giving Xia an opening for a nearfall. Time dwindled in the Speed Championship match as Xia fought to gain control, placing Candice on the top rope.
Candice countered with a Tornado DDT, followed by a senton and a perfect top-rope moonsault to punch her ticket to the next round.
Winner: Candice LeRae

Jordynne Grace vs. Kali Armstrong
The Juggernaut wasted no time, dodging a corner charge from Kali and chopping her down. Kali answered with a powerful shoulder tackle and heavy strikes in the corner, slowing Grace’s momentum. After launching Grace into the turnbuckles and battering her with more offense, Kali looked dominant heading into the break.
Back from commercial, Kali had Grace bent over her back in a punishing submission, but Jordynne muscled out and shifted gears. Grace unleashed a barrage of lariats, including a springboard variant for two. She looked for the Juggernaut Driver, but Kali escaped and hit a powerslam for her own nearfall.
Kali charged off the ropes but ran into a stiff back elbow. Grace planted her with the Juggernaut Driver for the pinfall.
