WWE NXT aired on Tuesday, June 9, 2026, live from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, broadcasting on The CW Network in the United States and Netflix internationally. The show featured two #1 contenders matches with Great American Bash implications, a Women’s North American Title match, and a main roster tag team in action. The night had direct stakes for the Great American Bash, as the winner of the men’s #1 contender’s match was set to earn a shot at the NXT Championship at that event later this month.
The Inaugural Mr. NXT Pageant — Shiloh Hill vs. Tristan Angels
The inaugural Mr. NXT Pageant was held on this episode, with SmackDown star Kit Wilson, reigning EVOLVE Champion Aaron Rourke, and comedian Matt Mathews announced as the judges by NXT GM Robert Stone. Shiloh Hill’s character took a step toward absurdity as he competed with Tristan Angels, with GM Robert Stone having arranged judges to determine who would shine brightest in the categories of attire, talent, and public speaking. The winner of the pageant could not be confirmed from available sources at time of publication.
Great American Bash Stakes Set
The winner of the Naraku vs. Mason Rook match was set to earn a shot at NXT Champion Tony D’Angelo at The Great American Bash. Lola Vice has held the NXT Women’s Championship since the April 4 episode of NXT, where she defeated then-champion Jacy Jayne and Kendal Grey in a Triple Threat match to win her first WWE belt. The winner of the Kelani Jordan vs. Kendal Grey match was also set to challenge Vice at Great American Bash, with the full Great American Bash card beginning to take shape on this evening.
This episode of NXT served as a key building block on the road to The Great American Bash, with the brand heading toward that premium live event in less than three weeks. Due to live results pages not yet populating confirmed match-by-match winners at time of publication, all individual match outcomes on this show remain marked as [INSUFFICIENT_DATA] — WAW will update this post as confirmed results become available.
