The WWE NXT Battleground PLE saw Roxanne Perez face TNA’s Jordynne Grace while Trick Williams had a huge match against Ethan Page.
NXT Battleground took place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. It was Vic Joseph and Booker T on commentary.
Match #1: Kelani Jordan defeated Sol Ruca, Lash Legend, Fallon Henley, Jaida Parker, and Michin in a Ladder Match to become the first NXT Women’s North American Champion. Sol Ruca nearly got the win, but she was stopped by Jordan. After Parker knocked Ruca out of the ring, Jordan hit a split-legged moonsault on Parker. That led to Jordan climbing up the ladder to retrieve the title and get the win.
The NXT boss man Shawn Michaels congratulated Jordan on her big win.
Match #2: Nathan Frazer & Axiom defeated The OC – Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson by pinfall. Frazer got the win for his team with a Phoenix Splash.
Match #3: Lola Vice defeated Shayna Baszler by referee stoppage in an NXT Underground Match. When they were battling on the floor, Vice sent Baszler into the steel steps. Back in the ring, Vice hit a spinning back fist along with hammer fists and that was enough to make the referee stop the match.
They showed NXT Women’s North American Champion Kelani Jordan celebrating her title win along with Battleground host Sexyy Red.
The next NXT PLE is Heatwave in Toronto on July 7th, which is four weeks away. It takes place the night after Money in the Bank.
Match #4: Oba Femi defeated Wes Lee and Joe Coffey in a triple threat to retain the NXT North American Championship by pinfall. The Gallus boys Wolfgang & Mark Coffey tried to help Joe Coffey win, but Femi and Lee were able to take them out. Femi caught Lee jumping off the top and hit him with a Powerbomb. Femi also hit Joe with a Popup Powerbomb leading to the pinfall win.

Match #5: Roxanne Perez defeated TNA Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace to retain the NXT Women’s Title by pinfall. Tatum Paxley showed up at ringside late in the match and stole the Knockouts Title. That’s when TNA’s Ash By Elegance (former Dana Brooke in WWE) showed up to stop her. Grace left the ring and knocked Paxley & Ash down. The finish saw Grace go for the Juggernaut Driver, Perez got out of it and Perez hit Pop Rox for the pinfall win.

Match #6: Trick Williams defeated Ethan Page to retain the NXT Championship by pinfall. There was a big spot when they left the ring and Page gave Williams a powerslam through the commentary table. Page got a two count after the Ego’s Edge. Page kept on punching Trick against the turnbuckle repeatedly, so the referee made Page move back. This allowed Trick to recover with the Trick Shot knee for the pinfall win.
