WWE NXT vs. TNA Showdown Results - October 07, 2025: Gold Changes Hands, Survivor Series Chaos, and More

“Here we go!” — Booker T’s iconic line kicked off a night that lived up to its billing as WWE NXT vs. TNA: Showdown delivered cross-brand battles, title changes, and plenty of drama inside the Performance Center.
🏆 The Hardys Make History in a Tag Team Classic
The opening match set the tone for the night as The Hardys (Matt & Jeff Hardy) defeated DarkState (Osiris Griffin & Dion Lennox) to capture the NXT Tag Team Championships while retaining their TNA Tag Team Titles.
Before the bell, DarkState’s full stable ambushed the veterans — Saquon Shugars and Cutler James joined in until the referee restored order. Once the match began, Jeff Hardy started fast, hitting signature offense and a quick near fall. Matt targeted Dion’s shoulder while the brothers hit classic tandem moves, including a springboard-assisted clothesline that got the crowd roaring.
DarkState regrouped, isolating Matt with crisp double-teams and taunts mocking the Hardys’ iconic “DELETE” gestures. After enduring the heat, Matt dodged a double attack and tagged Jeff, who exploded with his trademark comeback — jawbreaker, atomic drop, and leg drop combo.
Momentum shifted again when the champions connected with a high-low apron attack, grounding Jeff. A desperate Whisper in the Wind brought the rally, leading to a Side Effect, Twist of Fate, and finally, the Swanton Bomb to seal the pinfall on Lennox.
Result: The Hardys def. DarkState via pinfall (Jeff Hardy on Dion Lennox)
Outcome: The Hardys retain TNA Tag Team Titles and win the NXT Tag Team Titles.
As the crowd erupted, Team 3D and TNA President Carlos Silva were seen applauding — a symbolic moment as TNA talent officially claimed WWE gold for the first time in this interpromotional era.

💥 Team NXT vs. Team TNA – Women’s Survivor Series Showdown
Team TNA: Kelani Jordan, Cassie Lee, Jessie McKay & Mara Sade
Team NXT: Jacy Jayne, Lola Vice, Sol Ruca & Jaida Parker
Special Referee: Jordynne Grace
The women’s division battle delivered fast-paced action and big moments. Jacy Jayne and Kelani Jordan opened with a technical exchange before both teams traded rapid tags and momentum.
Chaos erupted early — dives from Cassie, Jessie, and Mara were topped by Jordan’s moonsault and Sol Ruca’s jaw-dropping Sasaki Special. Jaida Parker and Sol worked in tandem until Mara rolled up Parker for the first elimination, only to get dropped seconds later by Ruca’s Sol Snatcher.
After the break, the TNA side controlled Jayne until Lola Vice tagged in and tore through everyone with rapid kicks and hip attacks. She scored an elimination on Sade before locking in a sleeper on Jessie McKay, forcing a tap-out.
That left Kelani Jordan alone. She fought valiantly, eliminating Vice with an Olympic Slam, but a chaotic sequence saw Sol Ruca and Jacy Jayne combine to finish her off with the Sol Snatcher followed by Jayne’s opportunistic pin.
Result: Team NXT def. Team TNA (last eliminating Kelani Jordan).
Post-match, Ruca helped Jordan to her feet, while Jayne exchanged heated words with referee Jordynne Grace — teasing tension between WWE and TNA’s women’s champions.
🔥 Ethan Page vs. Mustafa Ali – NXT North American Title
In one of the night’s most technically crisp matches, Ethan Page retained the NXT North American Championship against Mustafa Ali.
Ali dazzled early with a rolling cutter and moonsault for near falls, but Page used the ropes and floor to shift momentum. A mid-match brawl saw Ali counter a powerbomb into a back body drop and spike DDT, but Page’s aggression and experience proved decisive.
The finish came after a top-rope miscue — Ali tangled in a microphone cord, allowing Page to shove him into the barricade and hit his Twisted Grin Cutter for the pinfall.
Result: Ethan Page def. Mustafa Ali via pinfall to retain the North American Championship.

Team TNA: Mike Santana, Leon Slater, Frankie Kazarian & Moose
Team NXT: Trick Williams, Ricky Saints, Je’Von Evans & Myles Borne

Evans dazzled with high-flying offense, taking out half of TNA before falling victim to Leon Slater’s roll-up. Kazarian and Saints traded near falls until Saints evened the odds, pinning Kazarian with a slick counter.
The match turned when Trick Williams walked out on his own team, leaving Ricky Saints alone against Moose and Santana. Saints rallied, eliminating Slater with a DDT reversal, but the two-on-one numbers game caught up.
A Moose powerbomb followed by Santana’s discus lariat sealed it for Team TNA.
Result: Team TNA def. Team NXT (last eliminating Ricky Saints).
After the match, Vic Joseph condemned Trick’s betrayal as the TNA squad celebrated, claiming “brand supremacy” for the night.
