🔥 NXT May 20th, 2025: What’s at Stake?
NXT has consistently delivered some of the most intense, fast-paced, and emotionally charged wrestling in the world. The May 20th episode is shaping up to be no different, with several major storylines converging in what could be a pivotal night for the black-and-gold brand.

- Surprise Returns & Debuts: NXT is known for shocking moments—who will show up?
- Road to NXT Stand & Deliver: With the next major NXT event looming, every match matters.
Let’s dive into the confirmed matches and biggest rumors surrounding this must-see episode!
💥 CONFIRMED MATCHES & PREDICTIONS
1. NXT Championship Match: [Champion’s Name] vs. [Challenger’s Name]
(If not officially announced, speculate based on current feuds)
The NXT Championship is the pinnacle of the brand, and the May 20th episode could feature a huge title defense. If [Champion’s Name] is scheduled to compete, will they continue their dominant reign, or will a hungry challenger dethrone them?
Prediction: Expect an all-out war with near falls, outside interference, and a potential swerve that leaves fans talking for weeks.
2. Grudge Match: [Superstar A] vs. [Superstar B] – No Disqualification
(Example: Carmelo Hayes vs. Trick Williams – if feud is still active)
Some rivalries can only be settled in no-holds-barred chaos. If two bitter enemies are set to collide in a No DQ match, expect weapons, high spots, and a brutal conclusion that could redefine their feud.
Prediction: This won’t end clean—someone might get put through a table or suffer a post-match assault leading to a future stipulation match.
3. Women’s Division Showcase: [Top Contender] vs. [Rising Star]
(Example: Roxanne Perez vs. Lola Vice)
The NXT Women’s Division is stacked with talent, and this match could determine the next challenger for the NXT Women’s Championship. Will a veteran teach a rookie a lesson, or will an underdog pull off a stunning upset?
Prediction: A breakout performance that earns the winner a future title shot.
4. Tag Team Turmoil: [Team A] vs. [Team B] – #1 Contenders Match
(Example: The Creed Brothers vs. Axiom & Nathan Frazer)
Tag team wrestling in NXT is next-level, and this match could decide who faces the NXT Tag Team Champions next. High-flying maneuvers, powerhouse slams, and tag team chemistry will be on full display.
Prediction: A thrilling match that ends with a new #1 contender—possibly setting up a title match at the next NXT premium live event.
🚨 POTENTIAL SURPRISES & SHOCKING MOMENTS
NXT is never short on surprises. Here’s what could go down on May 20th:

WWE has been scouting top indie and international talent—could we see a new face make their mark in NXT?
✔ A Surprise Betrayal
NXT is built on alliances and betrayals. Will a trusted partner turn on their teammate, setting up a new feud?

Very good show
I think his Ic run being so long hurt him as a credible world champion. It’s like he fought all the same guys and crushed them for a mid card belt now we are supposed to believe they are an actual challenge to him as a world champion? Lol when they took the intercontinental title off of him they should have moved him to SmackDown and put a new list of challengers in front of him. And moved Cody and the WWE championship to raw
Very good episode,
imagine being deluded enough to think a multi billion dollar company with guys who literally have wrestling in their blood hot shoted a heel turn storyline because they booked themselves into a corner. are you serious dude? that is the most ridiculous thing i have read in a minute lol. good luck bro.
Great episode.
Punk/Cody was there for the taking and Cena could’ve gone up against Gunther.
They knee jerked a heel turn because they booked themselves into a nepotism corner
Very good show
honestly don’t get the hate. like sure, there’s no major story here YET. But Punk/Rollins/Reigns has a lot of potential to be a high quality match. I’m legit looking forward to it and love that these three have wound up in a match together.
Great episode.
The triple threat match between them at Wrestlemania is gonna be awesome. Super stoked for this match
Great show
Let’s mention the women’s match in every live/hate challenge. Easiest task for this group of “journalists” ever. Each one of these love/hates are more embarrassing than the last. We get it, women’s wrestling is amazing and should main event every show and if a women’s match is bad it’s because where it is on the card or the booking it’s never the talent, all the women are top tier wrestlers.
Very good show
You wanna find out who the real simps and shills are? Mark down anybody who defends that main event match! Even the diehard AEW fans are crapping on that main event. It was terrible.
This Moxley stuff is stinking out the entire show and the dude seems to think he is Brock Lesnar.
The sad part is that this wasn’t a terrible show overall and with all things taken into an account. But at the end of the day, a bad ending can ruin a whole show for a lot of people. “Game of Thrones season 8” style.
Great show
So the crux of it all is that the PLE started strong…then ended with a sour belch.
The fans most remember how you left them and the fans are going to remember this show with a resounding “bleh”!
And any casual fan who watched with their buddies who are more diehard fans, may have left the viewing saying aloud, “That guy was pretty good. He should go to WWE”.
Great show.
I’ve said before but I think one of the issues here is that Tony is a massive fan of NJPW and often looks to emulate their PPV card structure. NJPW cards typically build to a climax with the big matches back to back and tend not to feature cool down matches or spots. Problem is western audiences haven’t been conditioned for that over the last 40 years, so often results in burnout. Personally I would have laid out the card like below giving breathing spaces, opening with the Steel Cage match and building to the Hollywood Ending as the main event.
Storm vs. May
Mox vs. Cope
Hangman vs. MJF
Hurt Syndicate vs. Outrunners
Takeshita vs. Omega
Swerve vs. Ricochet
Okada vs. King
Mone vs. Watanabe
Ospreay vs. Fletcher
Great episode.
Very good show, but the ending is what people remember. WWE ended Elimination Chamber with a huge heel turn. AEW ended Revolution with that abominable ending.
it doesn’t totally undo a great show, but it might have done more harm than good.
Very good show
I can already see Trips the mark statues, Trips the mark with a 20 minutes speech, the camera focusing onTrips the mark every 30 seconds when he is on the crowd.
Great show.
I’m glad they are bringing it back to a nice venue. The idea of hosting it immediately after Smackdown is insane. Why not put a highlight show or broadcast the Hall of Fame instead of airing Smackdown that week.
best of the best
Very good show tonight

Really don’t like that it’s the Women’s NXT North American Championship.
Really don’t like that it’s the Women’s NXT North American Championship. Besides being an awkward mouthful, it’s too derivative of Men’s midcard title.
