NXT No Mercy 2025: Ricky Saints Claims Championship; Jordynne Grace Triumphs in Steel Cage Match

NXT No Mercy 2025: Championship Changes Hands

The latest premium live event from WWE, NXT No Mercy 2025, took place at the FTL War Memorial in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, showcasing several championship matches, including the highly anticipated main event.

In the headline match, Ricky Saints emerged victorious against Oba Femi, who was the reigning NXT Champion. Saints earned his title shot after defeating Josh Briggs on NXT, positioning himself for this significant opportunity. This victory marked a pivotal moment as Saints became the first former All Elite Wrestling talent to capture the WWE NXT Championship.

The climax of the match featured a series of roll-up attempts, but Saints gained the advantage with a DDT onto the announcer's table, followed by a Tornado DDT on the floor. Despite Femi's attempts to rally back with a lariat and a powerbomb, Saints countered effectively, securing the three-count.

Saints' triumph halted a potential title-for-title clash at the upcoming Invasion event on October 7, where Femi is scheduled to face TNA World Champion Trick Williams. This victory also ended Femi's impressive 264-day reign, which included 11 successful defenses.

Jordynne Grace vs. Blake Monroe: A Heated Rivalry

In another thrilling encounter at NXT No Mercy 2025, Jordynne Grace faced off against Blake Monroe in a Weaponized Steel Cage match. Despite Monroe's intimidating 'Woman From Hell' persona, Grace emerged victorious, leveling their singles contest record to 1-1.

The match was filled with intense moments, including Monroe spreading diamond-cut stones in the ring, only to be suplexed by Grace onto them. A particularly emotional moment occurred when Monroe cut Grace's hair, prompting a strong reaction from the audience. In a dramatic finish, Grace hoisted Monroe onto her shoulders at the top turnbuckle and sent her crashing through a table, leading to a decisive three-count by the referee.
