WWE NXT Results 8/19 - NXT Championship #1 Contenders Match, Philadelphia Street Fight & More

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s results for "WWE NXT" on August 19, 2025, coming to you live from The Met Philadelphia in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania!

With "NXT" Heatwave right around the corner on August 24, NXT Champion Oba Femi will find out who will be challenging him for his title at the upcoming Premium Live Event, as TNA World Champion Trick Williams collides with Je'Von Evans in a Number One Contenders Match. Williams and Evans have had their fair share of issues with one another over the course of the past few weeks, feeling as though they should be the one who gets the next shot at Femi's title.

Josh Briggs and Yoshiki Inamura will both be returning to action tonight as they square off against one another in a Philadelphia Street Fight. Tensions between the former friends turned rivals have been on the rise over the course of the past few weeks, culminating during last Tuesday's episode of "NXT" when Briggs challenged Inamura to tonight's match leading to a massive pull apart brawl between them.

North American Champion Ethan Page will be joining forces with Chelsea Green to face former No Quarter Catch Crew member Tavion Heights and "WWE LFG" Season One co-winner Tyra Mae Steele in a Mixed Tag Team Match. Amidst the issues between Page and Heights over the past couple of weeks, Heights revealed that he had recruited Steele to be an ally last week after Page had previously enlisted the help of Green.

NXT Women's Champion and TNA Knockouts World Champion Jacy Jayne will be joining forces with her Fatal Influence stablemates Fallon Henley and Jazmyn Nyx to go head-to-head with TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Champions Ash By Elegance, Heather By Elegance, and M By Elegance as their fellow TNA star Masha Slamovich serves as special guest referee. As cracks have continued to form in the relationship between Jayne, Henley, and Nyx, Ash and Slamovich watched from the crowd last Tuesday as the former two women came up short to Lola Vice and Kelani Jordan having previously made it clear that they both have their eyes on Jayne's TNA Knockouts World Championship.

Additionally, Jordynne Grace and Blake Monroe will be meeting with one another ahead of their match at Heatwave.

We are live! Vic Joseph, Booker T, and Corey Graves greet audiences at home as Josh Briggs and Yoshiki Inamura begin brawling with one another backstage.

Jordynne Grace then makes her way to the ring. 

Grace says she came to "NXT" after travelling the world, being in hundreds of locker rooms, and building a reputation. She says she knew she has weaknesses that would set her back, but she didn't expect a friendship to set her back. She says she watches wrestling and has been in the business for fifteen years, meaning that she knew how wrestling friendships pan out. She says she thought that she would be the exception, then says being in WWE has been an adjustment. She says she doesn't want revenge, but Blake Monroe has shown exactly who she is.

Monroe's music hits, and she makes her way out along with several security guards and a contract in hand. She says they're meant to be insurance to make sure that Grace doesn't lay a hand on her, then explains that the contract states that should Grace lay a hand on her, then their match at Heatwave is off.

Grace says Monroe has been right about a lot of things, but she's wrong about one thing. She says Monroe was at WWE Evolution, but she didn't wrestle and was at ringside. She reminds Monroe that she wrestled as one of the main characters at Evolution, then tells Monroe that she thinks she's jealous of her. She says Evolution must have been a harsh reality check for her, then says Monroe is a disgusting snake.

Monroe says Grace can't control herself and doesn't have a calm bone in her body, then says she's just playing a WWE Superstar. She says now that she's in "NXT", there isn't room for both of them on "NXT". Monroe dares Grace to hit her, and Grace tells Monroe she doesn't need to touch her to show her what will happen at Heatwave.

Grace then goes after the four security guards. She lands a spinebuster on one of the security guards and clotheslines another one of the ring as the third one decides to retreat. Grace then tells Monroe that she'll show her what ugly really looks like at Heatwave.

Ash By Elegance, Heather By Elegance, M By Elegance, and The Personal Concierge. Fatal Influence follows, and Masha Slamovich is already waiting in the ring.

Fallon Henley and M begin the action. The bell rings and the two lock up. M rocks Henley with a forearm, but Henley rolls her up. M kicks out, but Henley whips her into the corner and tags in Jazmyn Nyx. Nyx levels M with a dropkick, but M catches Nyx with a boot to her midsection and tags in Heather.

Heather lands a splash off the top of M's shoulders, then tags in Ash. Jacy Jayne tags in on her side and exchanges shoves with Ash. They take turns pinning one another before Henley tags in and delivers a chop to Ash's chest.

Henley runs the ropes, but The Personal Concierge grabs her ankle. Slamovich catches him and sends him to the back. Ash then pins Henley during the break, but Henley kicks out and Ash rains down forearms on her. M tags in and delivers a boot to Henley's midsection, then rakes her eyes along the top rope and connects with a pump kick. She wears down Henley with a shoulder submission.

Heather tags in and delivers a DDT to Henley, then tags in Ash. Ash wears down Henley, then tags in M. M fires off stomps on Henley in the corner, then tags Ash back in. Ash wears down Henley with a submission hold back from the break, then connects with a handspring back elbow on her. M delivers a boot to the side of Henley's head as Ash distracts Slamovich.

Jayne and M tag in, and Jayne runs over M with a pair of clotheslines. She lands an enzuigiri on M, then follows it up with a cannonball and a senton off the top rope.

Henley tags in, then immediately tags out to Nyx. Nyx and Henley deliver a double flapjack to M, then follow it up with a double blockbuster. M runs over Nyx with a big boot, then tags in Heather. Heather ascends to the top rope, and Ash tags in. M holds Nyx in place for Heather to land a double stomp on her off the top rope. Ash connects with a metaora.

Henley rains down right hands on M on top of the announce desk, distracting Slamovich. Ash flies off the top rope with a Swanton Bomb and pins Nyx, but Nyx kicks out after Slamovich starts the count late. Jayne then tags in and runs over Ash with the Rolling Encore for the win.

Winners: Fatal Influence

After the match, Ash and Slamovich yell at one another.

Ethan Page, Chelsea Green, Alba Fyre, and Piper Niven are all waiting in the ring.

Fyre and Niven dump the table out of the ring as a means of allowing for the space between the two parties to be closed.

Tavion Heights and Tyra Mae Steele then make their way to the ring. Page says as a Canadian, he takes pride in having a peaceful and diplomatic discussion. He credits Heights for becoming a solo star and fight his way out of No Quarter Catch Crew, but says his issue with him is that he sees him as an opportunity rather than the greatest North American Champion of all time. He says Heights is still brand new in the world of professional wrestling, and while it's extraordinary he's an Olympic gold medalist, there is no second or third place in wrestling. He says when you lose in wrestling, you go home empty handed and there's only gold which he has.

Heights says he's used to sitting across veterans who have counted him out, then says he thinks Page is foolish for underestimating him. Green tells Heights that there's no need to be spicy, then tells Heights that he's being rude like Americans are. She tells Steele that herself and Page are in the ring to peacefully represent a beautiful country and the superior nation, but Steele tells Green that she's talking too much with nothing to say. She says in Philadelphia, the people speak their minds and tells Green to quiet down.

Green reminds Steele that she's the greatest Women's United States of all time, but Steele says that her gold medal represents the best. Green says there's no need to escalate things, but Heights tells Green that she's decided to go back to being friendly.

Page and Heights begin arguing with one another again, but Ava's music hits and she makes her way out. She informs Page and Green that they will be facing Steele and Heights in a Mixed Tag Team Match at Heatwave. Page and Green fire off right hands on Heights and Steele, but Heights and Steele cinch in Ankle Locks on Page and Green. Fyre and Niven pull Green and Page out of the ring to help them escape the holds.

Je'Von Evans then makes his way to the ring. Trick Williams follows. 

The bell rings and Williams runs over Evans with a big boot as we see Oba Femi watching the action from one of the balconies. Williams delivers a bodyslam to Evans, then sets up for a leg lariat. Evans ducks out of the way and lands a hurricanrana using the top rope, then delivers a chop to him. Williams returns the favor with a couple of chops on his own on Evans, but Evans fires off several more chops on Williams.

Williams runs over Evans with a flying clothesline and rains down forearms on Evans, then connects with a suplex on him and goes for a pin. Evans kicks out, but Williams lands a swinging neckbreaker on him. Evans responds with a flying clothesline to Williams off the top rope, then clotheslines him out of the ring and flies over the top rope to level him on the outside. He dumps him back in the ring, then looks to fly off the top ropes. Williams intercepts Evans off the top rope and sends him crashing through the announce desk on the outside.

During the commercial break, the referee checks on Evans and begins a ten count. Evans beats it, but Williams wears him down with a submission hold.

Back from the break, Williams continues wearing down Evans and rains down more forearms on him. He follows it up with a flapjack to Evans and kips up, then lands an open palm strike on him.

Evans fires off right hands and left hands on Williams in the corner, then flies through the middle rope to level Williams with a tope suicida on the outside. He connects with a Frog Splash on Williams back in the ring, then follows it up with a flipping kick and goes for a pin. Williams kicks out, but Evans delivers the OG Cutter to him. Williams quickly recovers and levels Evans with a right hand, but Evans delivers a superkick to Williams. Williams sends Evans crashing into the mat, then follows it up with a pump kick and sends him crashing into the mat off his shoulders. Williams sets up for the Trick Shot, but becomes distracted when he notices Mike Santana in the crowd where Femi was sitting. This opens the door for Evans to land a cutter on Williams and follow it up with the OG Cutter for the win.

Winner (and new Number One Contender): Je'Von Evans
