WWE NXT Results, September 5, 2023 & Winners

NXT Women's Champion Tiffany Stratton vs. Kiana James for the title

Stratton managed to pin James after an eye poke and her signature moonsault finisher. After the match, Becky Lynch appeared in a pre-recorded promo, announcing her challenge for Stratton's title in the main event next Tuesday on NXT.

The match itself was well-organized and seemed to have good timing. James had her moments to shine, but it didn't make Stratton look bad.



Just before the match ended, Stratton grabbed James' bag, which seemed to have something inside. She tried to hit James with it, but James dodged it. James then used her 401k finisher, but Stratton kicked out, creating a near fall.

Throughout the match, Stratton had used sneaky moves to gain an advantage, and she did it again to set up the final move. She poked James in the eyes and then prepared for her finishing move, the "Prettiest Moonsault Ever." Stratton executed it and covered James for the pinfall.

WINNER: NXT Women's Champion Tiffany Stratton

After the match, Becky Lynch shows up on the Titantron and talks about Stratton. Lynch says she's going after the NXT Women's Championship, and she's challenging Stratton for the title next week on NXT.

While chatting with the Creeds, Malik Blade and Edris Enofe step in and take issue with the Creeds wanting a tag title shot so soon after returning. This leads to an argument, and the story will continue.

Ilja Dragunov Vs Oro Mensah (with Noam Dar, Jakara Jackson & Lash Legend)

Dragunov managed to pin Mensah in an excellent match. The style of this bout was quite different from the opening match and flowed more smoothly. Mensah brought the fight to Dragunov, which played to Dragunov's strengths.

They fought continuously through a commercial break, and their battle carried on when the show returned in a split-screen format. Dragunov made a comeback after landing his Grüße aus Moskau lariat. He followed it up with a series of suplexes, almost getting the win. However, Mensah interrupted Dragunov's momentum with a spinning heel kick that came close to a two-and-a-half count.

Mensah then started mocking Dragunov, which really got under Dragunov's skin. He powered up and powerbombed Mensah. Dragunov signaled for his finisher, the Torpedo Moskau, and successfully executed it. He then covered Mensah for the pinfall victory.

WINNER: Ilja Dragunov

After the match concluded, Wes Lee made his way onto the soundstage. He entered the ring to confront Dragunov and told him that his hopes for a title shot would have to wait. The two had been arguing in recent weeks over who should be the next contender for the NXT Championship. They continued their dispute until it was interrupted by the champion himself.

NXT Champion Carmelo Hayes confronted the two of them and mentioned that he had a conversation with Shawn Michaels about their situation. The live studio audience began chanting for a triple threat match. However, Hayes revealed that HBK had scheduled a number one contender's match for the following week. Lee would face Dragunov next Tuesday, and the winner would go on to challenge Hayes for the NXT title at No Mercy.

Nathan Frazier had an interview with McKenzie Mitchell, where he addressed his viral moment from the previous week when he accidentally clotheslined himself on the top rope.

In a backstage scene, Blair Davenport, Thea Hail, Jacy Jayne, and Gigi Dolan were involved. This interaction helped set up a match between Dolan and Hail later on. Dolan warned Hail about getting too close to Jayne, but Hail responded by asserting her independence as a grown woman who can take care of herself.

Singles Match: Tyler Bate Vs Dabbo-Kato

Bate pinned Dabbo-Kato cleanly in the center of the ring, showcasing a David conquering a Goliath. This loss marks another setback for Dabbo-Kato, who is no longer being portrayed as the monster he once was.

Bate attempted to catch Dabbo-Kato off guard before the bell rang, with mixed results. Dabbo-Kato proved to be resilient and refused to go down, but Bate continued to take the fight to him. Bate eventually took a big boot from Dabbo-Kato, who then started dominating Bate.

However, Bate fought back and repeatedly tried to knock Dabbo-Kato off his feet. When that didn't work, Bate opted to lift Dabbo-Kato off the ground.

After shaking off his dizziness, Bate climbed the turnbuckles and leaped off with a corkscrew senton bomb. Bate then covered Dabbo-Kato, securing a clean three-count victory.

Mustafa Ali vs. Dragon Lee with NXT North American Champion Dominik Mysterio as guest referee

Ali pinned Dragon Lee with a quick count from Dom, securing himself a title shot against Dom at No Mercy.

At one point, the announcers scattered as Dragon Lee torpedoed through the ropes with a tope suicida. Ali, despite being sent over the announce desk, recovered swiftly. He flipped over the desk to deliver a Buckshot Lariat on the floor and followed it up with a tornado DDT, nearly scoring a fall.

Both wrestlers exchanged near falls, with Dragon Lee getting a two-count after a German suplex, and Ali executing a jackhammer for another two-count. Ali attempted a 450 splash, but he missed the mark, rolling through only to receive a Liger bomb for another close call.

Dragon Lee voiced his complaints to Dom about the count, arguing that Dom was counting too slowly. Ali capitalized on the opportunity, catching Dragon Lee in a victory roll. Dom swiftly dropped to the mat and made a rapid three-count, granting Ali the pinfall victory.

WINNER: Mustafa Ali

Axiom mounted a comeback after the break and came close to pinning Butch. Axiom attempted a standing moonsault, but Butch countered with a triangle choke. Axiom managed to reach the ropes for a break but endured a series of strikes and stomps from Butch.

Axiom fought back, and they each tried to lock in crossface submission holds. Axiom went for a triangle of his own, but Butch escaped and hit a snap German suplex. Nevertheless, Axiom rallied with a flurry of offense. He attempted a springboard move, but Butch halted him with a knee strike and followed it up with a Liger bomb for another near fall.

With less than five minutes remaining in the time limit, both wrestlers rushed to secure a victory. Axiom executed the Golden Ratio, but Butch got his arm under the bottom rope, breaking the count.

As the time limit dwindled to under 30 seconds, Axiom attempted a submission hold. Butch resorted to snapping Axiom's fingers to break free. Butch then hit the Bitter End, but time ran out before he could capitalize on the pin. The bell rang, and the match concluded in a draw.

Hail secured a submission victory over Dolan with outside interference from Blair Davenport. Hail was still billed as representing Chase U, but Jayne accompanied her instead of the Chase U faction. Jayne prevented Hail from performing her Chase U pose during her entrance routine.

Hail adopted a more aggressive wrestling style, although not quite a heel. During the match, she targeted Dolan's arm while attempting an armbar, but Hail ended up being posted shoulder-first.

Bron Breakker vs. Von Wagner (with Mr. Stone) in a no-disqualification match

Breakker pinned Wagner in what could be likened to the classic "unstoppable force meeting the immovable object" scenario. It was an intense hoss fight that delivered on expectations. After the match, Breakker regained his momentum with an injury angle, leaving the show on a suspenseful note. Wagner opted for pants instead of his usual long tights, possibly fitting for what essentially became a street fight. Breakker, on the other hand, stuck to his customary singlet and gear.

The brawl spilled outside early in the match, with the two fighters exchanging blows near the announce desk. They slammed each other onto the desk, and Wagner even contemplated putting Breakker through it. However, they returned to the ring before carrying on the battle outside again just before the show went to its final commercial break.

Metal folding chairs and kendo sticks were soon brought into play as weapons. During the split-screen break, Wagner considered fetching a table from beneath the ring, but Breakker interrupted him. In response to cheers from the studio audience, Breakker taunted them by sliding the table back under the ring.

As the show returned from the break, Breakker relentlessly struck Wagner with the kendo stick in safe yet impactful areas. Wagner blocked one shot and fought back, only for Breakker to regain control with a lariat. Wagner endured more kendo stick shots but eventually mounted a comeback.

Breakker absorbed a couple of big boots from Wagner but blocked a third attempt. He executed a sit-out powerbomb on Wagner, who later collapsed to his knees, selling his injured ribs from earlier kendo stick strikes.

Breakker performed a flying bulldog, driving Wagner into a chair on the mat. He then lowered the straps on his singlet and applied a Steiner Recliner, using the kendo stick as a crossface. However, Wagner powered up and broke free. Wagner turned the kendo stick around and used it to apply a crossface on Breakker.

They exchanged punishing lariats, with Breakker delivering a gut buster and charging at Wagner for a spear. Wagner sidestepped, and Breakker collided with a chair wedged in the corner. Breakker reached for another folding chair, but Wagner stomped on it while towering over him.

Wagner held a kendo stick as Breakker got to his feet, and after Breakker spat in his face, Wagner responded with a series of kendo stick strikes. He shattered the kendo stick on Breakker's back and then hit him with a chair shot. Wagner executed a chokeslam but only managed a near fall.

The battle spilled outside again, with Wagner sending Breakker crashing through a gimmicked wall. Despite Breakker's resilience, he was in danger of being put through the announce desk. However, he fought back, only to fall victim to a pop-up powerbomb on the desk. The booth collapsed as Breakker was driven through the desk. Wagner proceeded to roll Breakker back into the ring, but Breakker countered a fireman's carry, delivered a low blow, and followed up with a spear. He pinned Wagner for the three count.

WINNER: Bron Breakker

After the match, Breakker continued his attack with chair shots, sending Wagner into the ring steps. Breakker then picked up the top section of the steps and appeared to crush Wagner's head with it. The show ended with a dramatic cliffhanger as it faded to black amid horrified screams. The angle extended to social media, where Wagner was depicted being carried away on a stretcher. His head was heavily bandaged, and he was strapped down before being wheeled away.
