The big news coming out of No Mercy came from NXT General Manager Ava, who announced the NXT Invasion special for October 7 on The CW. Two Survivor Series-style matches will take place, one with men and the other with women. Stars from both promotions such as Myles Borne, Lash Legend, Frankie Kazarian, Moose, and Mike Santana all expressed interest in participating.
Invasion? Count me in! An Invasion can be defined as an unwelcome intrusion. Well, be prepared to welcome the current @ThisIsTNA International Champion, and the #KingofTNA back to @WWENXT this Tuesday!
Lola Vice didn’t end up winning the NXT Women’s Championship on Saturday thanks to a masked person drilling her with a running kneestrike as she was recovering on the outside. Vice managed to enter the ring to avoid a count-out, but ended up walking into a rolling encore by Jacy Jayne, who retained the title. Earlier in the night, Laney Reid was interviewed and revealed that she was wearing a foot cast, putting her out of action. Vice ran into Lane and the two exchanged words.
Ethan Page was also victorious at No Mercy, defeating Tavion Heights to retain the North American title. As he was celebrating in the ring, El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. appeared on the video screen. He said that while Page had his eye on the AAA Latin American title, he had his eye on the NXT North American title.
Just minutes before Saturday’s No Mercy PLE was set to go on the air, the company posted a video of Shawn Michaels announcing that Reid was injured while training the previous night and as a result, was not medically cleared to compete. Michaels said that Ruca would still defend the Speed title at tonight’s event, but it would be against a mystery competitor instead.
Reid had won a tournament to face Ruca for the Speed Women’s Championship on Saturday, first defeating AAA’s Faby Apache then defeated SmackDown star Candice LeRae to earn the title match. At NXT Battleground, it was announced that the Speed titles would be defended in NXT moving forward, as the status of the show on X is currently in question.

After winning the number one contender’s tournament with a victory over Candice LeRae on Tuesday’s show, Lainey Reid will challenge Sol Ruca for the WWE Women’s Speed Championship at No Mercy.
After his double title match with Trick Williams ended in a no contest on Tuesday’s show, Oba Femi is still in line to defend the NXT Championship against Ricky Saints at No Mercy as well.
The finalized card for Saturday’s show:
WWE NXT No Mercy, Saturday, September 27 —
NXT Champion Oba Femi defends against Ricky Saints
NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne defends against Lola Vice
WWE Women’s Speed Champion Sol Ruca defends against Lainey Reid
NXT North American Champion Ethan Page defends against Tavion Heights
Weaponized Steel Cage match: Blake Monroe vs. Jordynne Grace
The North American Championship will be defended in a new match set for the Saturday, September 27 WWE NXT No Mercy PLE.
As revealed during Tuesday’s NXT Homecoming special, Ethan Page will defend the North American title against Tavion Heights as the feud between the two continues. Heights defeated Page in a flag match in their last meeting on the September 9 NXT TV.
Damian Priest revealed at Homecoming that he had spoken t NXT GM Ava and booked Heights a title bout for No Mercy.
Four matches are official for No Mercy, all of them title bouts. The updated lineup:
WWE NXT No Mercy, Saturday, September 27 —
NXT Champion Oba Femi (or Trick Williams) defends against Ricky Saints
NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne defends against Lola Vice
NXT North American Champion Ethan Page defends against Tavion Heights
WWE Women’s Speed Champion Sol Ruca defends against Candice LeRae or Lainey Reid
The finals for the Speed Women’s Championship title shot at No Mercy is now official.
Laney Reid will face Candice LeRae in the finals after she scored a surprising victory over Faby Apache on Tuesday’s NXT. As the match neared its conclusion Natalya, Apache’s opponent for Worlds Collide, came out of the crowd and stared down Apache. The brief distraction allowed Reid to dodge a swanton bomb attempt and connected with a running knee strike for the shock win.
Candice LeRae, the first-ever Women’s Speed Champion, defeated TNA’s Xia Brookside last week to advance. The winner between Reid and LeRae will go on to face Sol Ruca at NXT No Mercy on September 27.
It was announced back at NXT Great American Bash that the Speed titles would be coming to the NXT brand, weeks after Sol Ruca began appearing on television with her title despite winning it earlier in the year. The fate of the men’s title remains unknown, as El Grande Americano has not shown his championship on television nor has he appeared on NXT.
The first-ever Women’s Speed Champion was the first to advance in the tournament to crown a new number one contender on Tuesday, defeating TNA’s Xia Brookside. With around 24 seconds remaining in the three-minute match, LeRae pinned Brookside after a lionsault, moving to the next round. She will face the winner between AAA’s Faby Apache and NXT’s Laney Reid.
Last month it was officially announced that the Speed titles were coming to NXT. Ava revaled a tournament would be held to determine Sol Ruca’s next challenger. The winner of the tournament will get their title shot at NXT’s next PLE, No Mercy on September 27.
The fate of the Speed titles were unclear for a time after the show was dropped from X earlier in the summer. Around the same time, Ruca started to carry around her Speed Championship on NXT television, something she hadn’t done despite winning the title back in April. El Grande Americano, who holds the men’s championship, has yet to be seen with the belt on Raw while no plans have been announced regarding his title.
