WWE NXT Results 8/27 - Joe Hendry Appears, Wes Lee And Zachary Wentz Meet In The Ring & More

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s results for "WWE NXT" on August 27, 2024, coming to you from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida!

As he continues preparing to challenge Ethan Page for the NXT Championship at "NXT" No Mercy, Joe Hendry will be holding his second ever performance for the WWE Universe. Hendry secured his title shot at this coming Sunday's Premium Live Event after he defeated Wes Lee and Pete Dunne in a Triple Threat Number One Contenders Match during last week's edition of "NXT".

Speaking of Lee, he will be meeting with his former friend Zachary Wentz one last time before they collide in Denver, Colorado. After Lee and Wentz were unable to win the NXT Tag Team Championship from then titleholders Axiom and Nathan Frazer at Week Two of The Great American Bash special earlier this month, Lee blindsided Wentz and Trey Miguel with an attack. Wentz subsequently returned the favor when he blindsided Lee last week.

Luca Crusifino, Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo, and Adriana Rizzo of The Family will be going head-to-head with No Quarter Catch Crew's Charlie Dempsey, Myles Borne, and Wren Sinclair in a Mixed Six Person Tag Team Match. Tensions between the two stables have been on the rise over the course of the past few months stemming from a dispute over a job No Quarter Catch Crew recruited The Family for, with Dempsey later dethroning Tony D'Angelo as the "NXT" Heritage Cup Champion on August 13.

Elsewhere, Karmen Petrovic looks to score a win tonight when she goes one-on-one with Izzi Dame. The two women have become quite familiar with one another as competitors in the ring, having previously faced one another a handful of times at Live Events and on the March 8 episode of "NXT" Level Up. Additionally, Je'Von Evans and Joe Coffey will both be returning to action tonight as they square off with one another while Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson will be taking on Jacy Jayne and Fallon Henley of Fatal Influence.

Perez crashes the interview and a verbal confrontation between her and Parker ensues that ultimately results in Parker slapping Perez.

Back at ringside, The Family make their way down to the ring. No Quarter Catch Crew follows.

Back from the break, Zachary Wentz makes their way out to the ring. Wes Lee follows as security stands by in the ring.

Lee tells Wentz to say whatever he needs to, and Wentz questions why he thought The Rascalz and MSK would be the exception, explaining that he thought every team and every family in professional wrestling eventually breaks up except for them. Lee tells Wentz that yelling shows how naive he is, and Wentz asks Lee if he's really going to throw away nine years because he thinks that he's a star.

Lee says he knows that he's a huge star and is a bigger one than Wentz, then says he's jealous of everything he's accomplished and only came back to piggyback off him. He says he want Wentz to understand that they're on different levels. Wentz says no one was more proud of what Lee accomplished than him, but admits that he messed up. He says MSK was one of the greatest tag teams in "NXT" history, and says he ruined that. He says he can own up to his mistakes, and says through it all, Lee became a main event star while he grew up to become a man. He says for two years, he had a picture of Lee in the ring alone crying and wondering what would happen next for him after his release from WWE. Wentz says it motivated him to pick himself up and be reunited with Lee.

Lee says he's glad that he was motivated, but even if they had won the NXT Tag Team Championship and had a reign with them, he'd eventually realized that he's not on the same level as Wentz. He says it's no longer 2022, and asks if Wentz gets that. Wentz calls Lee one of the most sensitive on the planet, then points out that Lee was ready to quit "NXT" for the third time just before he and Trey Miguel make their "NXT" debut. He reminds Lee who was there for him when he was recovering from back surgery while Lee's wife was at work, then says while he couldn't be with Lee in front of the cameras, he was still his brother behind them. Lee promises to show Wentz that they're on different levels on Sunday at No Mercy, and Wentz tells Lee that he's always underestimated him throughout their entire lives. He says he used to wish for Lee's success, but he'll now make sure Lee will fail beginning on Sunday. Lee tells Wentz to forget everything that they've been through and done prior to Sunday night so he can show him why he's the WWE Superstar and Wentz is the TNA wrestler. Wentz promises that himself — a TNA wrestler — will beat up Lee, and the pair get in each other's faces.

Kelani Jordan then makes her way down to the ring. TNA Wrestling star Rosemary follows, revealing herself as the mystery opponent that Wendy Choo promised to send Jordan's way on social media. 

The bell rings and Rosemary sends Jordan crashing into the corner. Jordan responds with a dropkick and a splash in the corner, then follows it up with a crossbody and goes for a pin. Rosemary kicks out and lands a back elbow on Jordan, then follows it up with a suplex and fires off right hands on her. Rosemary and Jordan then go back and forth with right hands on one another before Jordan delivers a kick to level Rosemary.

Jordan lands a pair of back elbows on Rosemary, then connects with a third one and sends her crashing into the mat. Jordan looks to fly off the ropes, but Rosemary intercepts her with a spear and goes for a pin. Jordan kicks out and levels Rosemary with a boot, then follows it up with a split legged moonsault for the win.

Winner: Kelani Jordan

After the match, the lights go out as Wendy Choo's laugh echoes through the Performance Center and her face appears on the screens. Choo sneaks up behind Jordan and locks in a Sleeper on her. Jordan fades.

We then head backstage and see Oro Mensah give some encouraging words to Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson following their loss earlier tonight. Lexis King walks in and gets into a verbal exchange with Mensah, and the two then begin to brawl with one another.

Back from the break, we head over to the Chase U classroom, where Ridge Holland provides some encouraging words and promises to have Chase U's backs as long as they hold the NXT Tag Team Championship. Axiom and Nathan Frazer walk in and confront Holland and Andre Chase, promising to dethrone them as titleholders.

Back at ringside, Malik Blade makes his way down to the ring. Brooks Jensen follows.

Blade flies over the top rope to level Jensen on the map and fires off right hands on him. He sends him crashing into the ring steps and dumps him inside the ring.

The bell sounds and Blade levels Jensen with a dropkick. The pair brawl with one another in the corner of the ring, but Jensen lands a knee on Blade and follows it up with a swinging neckbreaker. He goes for a pin, but Blade kicks out. Jensen locks in a Sleeper on Blade, but Blade makes it up to his feet and delivers a backbreaker to Jensen using the top rope for extra momentum. Blade then ascends to the top, but Jensen intercepts him with a right hand and joins him up there. Blade fights him off and flies, then ascends back up to the top and looks for a splash. Jensen avoids it and delivers a DDT, then climbs up to the top and delivers an elbow drop for the win.

Winner: Brooks Jensen

Back from the break, Je'Von Evans makes his way down to the ring. Gallus follows.

The bell rings and Joe levels Evans with a shoulder tackle. He wears him down with submissions, then lands a second shoulder tackle. Evans rolls up Joe, but Joe kicks out before Evans takes him down with a pair of hurricanranas. Joe charges at Evans in the corner, but Evans sees him coming and delivers a crossbody to Wolfgang off the apron.

Back from the break, Evans levels Joe with a right hand and a springboard kick to his head. He delivers a springboard crossbody off the top rope from the apron and goes for a pin, but Joe kicks out. Coffey delivers a shoulder pounce that sends Evans crashing into the corner and pins him, but Evans kicks out.

Joe looks to fly off the ropes, but Evans sees him coming and delivers a cutter off the middle rope. He goes for a pin, but Joe kicks out and rolls out of the ring. Evans ascends to the top and delivers a Swanton Bomb to level all three members of Gallus, then dumps Joe back in the ring and connects with an open palm strike. Wolfgang hops up on the apron, opening the door for Mark to slide in the ring. Evans levels him, but turns around into a discus lariat from Joe for the win.

Winner: Joe Coffey

We then head over to a video of Tony D'Angelo finding Oba Femi sitting in his room at his restaurant and the pair find themselves involved in an exchange of words with each another. 

Back at ringside, Joe Hendry makes his way down to the ring.

Hendry thanks the "NXT" Universe for spending the evening for him, then says he has a career defining opportunity on Sunday when he challenges Ethan Page for the NXT Championship. He says he has a special song for fans about Page, then begins singing about Page's action figures, dethroning him as the NXT Champion, Page working out in a chicken costume.

Page's entrance music cuts Hendry off as he makes his way out, and Page says Hendry is done with song time. He asks Hendry if he thinks he can embarrass him with a few photos taken out of context. He asks Hendry who he thinks he is given that he holds the NXT Championship, then asks if Hendry is trying to entertain fans with embarrassing photos of him. He says he knows what's best for fans, then says what's best for them is keeping Hendry out of "NXT" and away from the NXT Championship.

Ava's music hits and she makes her way out. She tells Page that he should be flatter that Hendry took the time to write a song about him, then informs Page that his NXT Championship Match against Hendry at No Mercy will have a special guest referee due to his blatant disrespect. Trick Williams' music then hits, revealing himself as the special guest referee much to the enragement of Page. Page looks to clock Hendry, but Hendry delivers the Standing Ovation to him. Hendry then pins Page and Williams counts to three. He hands Hendry the NXT Championship and celebrates with him as we see Pete Dunne watching what just happened from the entrance tunnel. He warns Williams that he won't make it to next Tuesday. He walks away as Williams and Hendry continue celebrating in the ring and the show goes off the air.
