WWE NXT Results 5/5 – Mixed Tag Team Match, Jaida Parker Faces Kali Armstrong & More

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.’s results for “WWE NXT” on May 5, 2026, coming to you live from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida!

NXT Women’s Champion Lola Vice will be joining forces with her fellow AAA World Mixed Tag Team Champion Mr. Iguana to take on Izzi Dame and Niko Vance of The Culling. While Dame and Vance looked to get the better of Vice by sneaking up on her during last Tuesday’s episode of “NXT” after Vice had called out Dame, Vice came prepared when Mr. Iguana was revealed to be waiting under the ring to take out Vance as Vice took out Dame herself.

Jaida Parker will be competing in her first match on “NXT” since coming up short to Kelani Jordan at Week One of the “NXT” Revenge special on April 14 as she collides with former EVOLVE Women’s Champion Kali Armstrong. The two women encountered one another last Tuesday in a tense verbal exchange surrounded by several other members of the “NXT” women’s division in the women’s locker room.

Although Sol Ruca may have become the newest member of the “WWE Raw” roster last Monday, Zaria scored a win against her in a Last Woman Standing Match at Week Two of the “NXT” Revenge special on April 21 by sending her crashing off a tall platform through a table beneath. Following her victory, Zaria will be making an appearance on tonight’s show with something on her mind to share.

Additionally, Jasper Troy and Vanity Project’s Jackson Drake will be going head-to-head with one another after Drake and his stablemates and reigning NXT Tag Team Champions Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes scored a win against Troy, Hank Walker, and Tank Ledger at an NXT Live Event on May 1.

We are live! The show kicks off with a video highlighting some of the new talent that appeared on last Tuesday’s episode of “NXT”.

We then head backstage, where Tony D’Angelo blindsides Tavion Heights with an attack. A brawl breaks out between the two men as several members of the men’s division try and get the two men separated.

Back at ringside, Vic Joseph and Booker T greet audiences at home as Jaida Parker makes her way to the ring. Kali Armstrong follows.

Parker clotheslines Armstrong out of the ring, but Armstrong sends Parker crashing into the ring apron on the outside. Parker returns the favor and dumps Armstrong back in the ring, then rocks her with a knee to her face through the middle rope. THe two women exchange forearms with one another, but Armstrong begins wearing down Parker’s left arm.

Parker catches Armstrong with a back elbow, but Armstrong wears down Parker with a submission hold during the commercial break. She fires off knees on the side of Parker’s head back from the break and fires off shoulders on her midsection in the corner before she fires off stomps on her in the corner.

Parker lands a pair of back body drops on Armstrong, then drapes her across the middle turnbuckle and connects her with Hip-notic on her. Armstrong responds by running the ropes and levelling Parker with a flying shoulder tackle for the win.

Back at ringside, Jasper Troy makes his way to the ring. Vanity Project follows. 

The bell rings and Troy sends Drake crashing into opposite corners. Drake looks to whip Troy into the ropes, but Troy blocks him and sends him crashing out of the ring with a standing splash.

Zaria then makes her way to the ring.

Zaria says “NXT” feels different now and says she’s standing in the women’s division with no one holding her back as dead weight or fake friends. She say she’s realizing that this was always how it needed to be: herself alone.

Zaria says she has a clear path to the Women’s North American Championship, then says while some people think that the Women’s North American Championship came between herself and Sol Ruca, it made her feel like it should be hers.

Tatum Paxley’s music hits and she makes her way out. She says that she gets where Zaria is coming from, but if she came for her Women’s North American Championship, it wouldn’t matter if Zaria scorched the earth. She says she’s done a lot for the Women’s North American Championship and that doesn’t end with Zaria.

Lizzy Rain’s music hits and she makes her way out. Rain says “NXT” feels different and says it’s anyone’s game now, then says she’s the new blood in the women’s locker room and wouldn’t mind joining in on the fun. She says she was the talk of the town last Tuesday in her “NXT” debut, but it would be fitting to add some heavy metal to the Women’s North American Championship.

Nikkita Lyons’ music hits and she makes her way out. She says all she hears is the new flavor of the month in Rain shooting over her head and says while Rain went big on social media, girls like her come and go. She looks to land a right hand on Rain, but Rain ducks out of the way. Zaria catches Lyons with a German suplex, but Paxley sets up for Cemetery Drive on Zaria. Zaria avoids it and levels Paxley with an F5, then grabs the Women’s North American Championship and holds it up.

We then head over to new “NXT” reporter Emily Agard trying to catch a word with Keany Carver. She asks him for something to give her new bosses, but Carver says that people aren’t getting that he’s in “NXT” to make money for the people back home he has to take care of. He says he’s the same person he’s always been and is not in “NXT” to care about authority.

Back at ringside, Tavion Heights makes his way out. Tony D’Angelo follows, with the upcoming contest having been deemed a regular singles match without D’Angelo’s NXT Championship on the line.
