WWE’s developmental brand brought the heat on Saturday night, and the complete NXT Vengeance Day 2026 card did exactly what it promised — it delivered vengeance. Live from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, five matches tore through the evening on Peacock in the United States and Netflix for the rest of the world. Titles changed hands, long-simmering grudges finally boiled over, and WWE’s next generation proved once again why NXT remains one of the most compelling brands in professional wrestling.
If you missed the action — or want the full breakdown — here is everything that went down on March 7, 2026.
👉 Keep scrolling for the complete match-by-match results — the NXT Women’s North American Championship picture looks completely different tonight.
The Event That Arrived Under a Cloud of Change
Before a single punch was thrown, NXT Vengeance Day 2026 carried extra significance beyond the matches. This marked the sixth edition of the Vengeance Day event and the first time in its history that it took place in March. More notably, it was the final NXT premium live event to stream on Peacock in the United States, as WWE’s contract for NXT on the platform expires on March 15. The brand’s next streaming home in the U.S. has not yet been announced, adding an air of uncertainty to an already intense night of wrestling.
The Performance Center setting, intimate and electric, gave every bout a raw, close-quarters energy that larger arenas sometimes dilute.
Blake Monroe Finally Silences Jaida Parker in a Street Fight
The opening match set the tone immediately. Blake Monroe and Jaida Parker had been going at each other for weeks, their feud growing more personal with every exchange. Since returning to NXT, Parker had crawled inside Monroe’s head — costing her matches, disrupting her momentum, and pushing her toward a darker, more aggressive version of herself.
On Saturday night, Monroe channeled all of that frustration into a dominant Street Fight performance. She defeated Jaida Parker by pinfall, ending an 83-day losing streak in the process. The win was cathartic for Monroe and gave her the kind of clean, decisive victory that reset her standing in the women’s division heading into the spring.
Tony D’Angelo Dismantles DarkState One Member at a Time
Tony D’Angelo’s return to NXT has had one clear purpose: total annihilation of DarkState. He already cost the faction the NXT Tag Team Championships before Vengeance Day, and on Saturday night he continued his methodical campaign in a chaotic Parking Lot Brawl against Dion Lennox.
The match started before it officially began — DarkState ambushed what they thought was D’Angelo, only to find out they had been decked. The real D’Angelo emerged with a crowbar and began picking apart Lennox in the middle of a parking lot surrounded by cars and onlookers. D’Angelo, flanked by Lucien Price and Bronco Nima, defeated Lennox despite the presence of Osiris Griffin, Saquon Shuggars, and Cutler James in Lennox’s corner.
Phase one of D’Angelo’s plan is complete. What comes next for the DarkState remains to be seen — but D’Angelo is not done.
Tatum Paxley Becomes New NXT Women’s North American Champion
If there was one match on the entire card that had the most emotional weight behind it, this was it. Tatum Paxley and Izzi Dame were once teammates inside The Culling. That all ended when Dame betrayed Paxley at NXT Gold Rush in 2025, costing her the NXT Women’s Championship and dismantling what looked like a promising partnership.
Since then, Paxley had been operating on pure emotion — erratic, passionate, and laser-focused on revenge. At Vengeance Day, she finally got it. Paxley defeated Izzi Dame, who was accompanied by Shawn Spears and Niko Vance, to capture the NXT Women’s North American Championship. Dame had been on one of the most dominant runs of her NXT career, winning the title from Thea Hail two months earlier and successfully defending it shortly after. None of that mattered when Paxley got her hands on her.
The new champion’s journey from betrayal to title glory is one of the better long-form stories NXT has told this year.
Lola Vice and Kelani Jordan Tear Each Other Apart Underground
Few rivalries on the current NXT roster carry the physical intensity of Lola Vice versus Kelani Jordan. Their feud started months ago when Jordan represented TNA at the NXT vs. TNA Showdown — a move Vice considered a betrayal of brand loyalty. Things escalated brutally, with Jordan breaking Vice’s hand during one of their brawls.
Vice refused medical advice to sit out, demanding an NXT Underground Match instead. The Underground format removes ropes, pins, and disqualifications — it is a fight until someone cannot continue or submits. Jordan, preparing for the challenge, trained alongside combat veteran Shayna Baszler in the weeks leading up to the event. Vice, a former MMA competitor and AAA World Mixed Tag Team Champion, came in with fire in her eyes.
The match was every bit as brutal as the buildup suggested, two women who genuinely cannot stand each other settling a score in the most physical environment NXT offers.
Joe Hendry Defends the NXT Championship Against Ricky Saints
The main event featured the biggest title in NXT and one of the brand’s most personal feuds. Joe Hendry won the vacant NXT Championship on February 3 inside a seven-man ladder match — a match that also included Ricky Saints. Saints never accepted the result. He attacked Hendry the following week after a successful title defense, and the two traded insults and attacks for the next several weeks.
Saints aligned himself with Ethan Page and The Vanity Project, seeking backup heading into the biggest match of his current NXT run. Hendry had his own allies ready — Myles Borne, Shiloh Hill, Hank Walker, and Tank Ledger stood in his corner. With the chess pieces aligned, the main event became a match where both men had something to prove far beyond the championship itself.
What Happens Next for NXT
Following the event, NXT Interim General Manager Robert Stone announced that NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne will defend her title in a triple threat match against both ZARIA and Sol Ruca at the upcoming NXT Houston event. That announcement sets up what should be a massive match as the brand continues building toward NXT Stand & Deliver — the annual WrestleMania weekend premium live event.
With titles changing hands, new feuds forming, and the DarkState still standing despite D’Angelo’s assault, the road to Stand & Deliver promises to be unpredictable.
NXT Vengeance Day 2026 reminded everyone that this brand is not a stepping stone — it is a destination.
