WWE NXT preview: Waller vs Rook and Zaria vs Hail headline Orlando show

WWE NXT airs tonight, September 29, from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, with NXT Champion Grayson Waller defending against Mason Rook and NXT Women’s North American Champion Zaria defending against Thea Hail.

The episode will continue the 2026 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic and features two confirmed title matches alongside further tournament bouts. Fans in the United States can watch live on The CW Network at 8 PM ET every Tuesday, while international viewers can tune in on Netflix (excluding select markets). The show also includes the announced return of Myles Borne after a recent brawl with Travion Heights at an NXT live event.

The NXT Championship is on the line when Grayson Waller meets Mason Rook, a match listed among the confirmed title showdowns for tonight’s broadcast. No additional match stipulations or build details are specified beyond the title being at stake.

Zaria will put the NXT Women’s North American Championship up against Thea Hail, a matchup confirmed for the program. Promotional material accompanying the preview reiterates the title defense and places the bout on the show’s card.

Two more matches in the 2026 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic tournament are scheduled: Fraxiom (Nathan Frazer & Axiom) versus DarkState (Osiris Griffin & Cutler James), and Birthright (Channing Lorenzo & Uriah Connors) against Mini Vikingo & Chazz Hall. Those pairings continue the tournament rounds already underway.

Myles Borne’s return is billed for tonight after he and Travion Heights were involved in a brawl at an NXT live event, a feud the preview says will once again take centre stage on the program. The announcement leaves the nature of Borne’s return segment unspecified beyond its inclusion on the card.
