WWE NXT lineup for November 4, 2026: Grayson Waller vs CM Punk headlines Wednesday show in Orlando

On November 4, 2026, WWE NXT will air live from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, with NXT Champion Grayson Waller scheduled to defend his title against CM Punk after the show was moved to Wednesday due to mid-term election coverage on the CW Network.

The rescheduled broadcast places NXT head-to-head with AEW Dynamite, which this week presents its special Blood & Guts edition, and the card features multiple marquee matches, including an NXT Women’s Championship defence by Kelani Jordan against a mystery opponent. John Cena is slated to appear on the special Wednesday edition after his Monday Night Raw appearance in which he announced the date and venue for the John Cena Classic.

The 2026 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic will conclude on the show, with Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno meeting Hank Walker and Tank Ledger in the final; Cody Rhodes is set to award the tournament trophy, a development the outlet described as adding significance to the tournament’s conclusion. The Dusty Cup finale completes the tournament bracket announced earlier in the series of rounds.

A six-man tag team match is listed for the card, pitting Chad Gable, Rey Fenix and Dragon Lee against The Vanity Project. Separate listings also include Jackson Drake, Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes among the NXT names expected to participate on the programme.

An unsanctioned match between Cruz Montana and Dion Lennox, which was announced at Halloween Havoc, will take place on the episode, with UFC star Michael Chandler serving as the special guest referee for the contest. The stipulation and special referee were confirmed in the build to the match.

The episode’s lineup, as published, also notes appearances from several of WWE’s top names, specifically naming John Cena, CM Punk, Cody Rhodes and Chad Gable, and states the Performance Center show is anticipated to feature additional main-roster talent. Promoters have presented these signings as part of the counterprogramming for the Wednesday timeslot.

Fans in India can watch WWE NXT on Netflix; the November 4 episode will be available live at 6:30 AM IST on Thursday, November 5.
