In a night of seismic shifts, WWE NXT witnessed two stunning championship upsets during its May 27 episode at the Capitol Wrestling Center. The fallout from NXT Battleground took a dramatic turn as both the NXT North American Championship and NXT Women’s Championship changed hands in shocking fashion.
Ethan Page Dethrones Ricky Saint for North American Title
The night’s first major upset saw narcissistic superstar Ethan “All Ego” Page end Ricky Saint’s reign as NXT North American Champion. Tensions exploded before the opening bell, with Page and Saint brawling violently outside the ring. This prompted NXT General Manager Ava to declare the match No Disqualification – a decision that set the stage for chaos.
The brutal, weapon-filled battle raged throughout the arena, with both competitors leveraging the relaxed rules. After a grueling back-and-forth contest, Page sealed his victory by hitting his signature finishing move on Saint. The win marks Page’s first championship in WWE NXT, cementing his rapid rise since debuting on the brand.
Jacy Jayne’s Heist: Women’s Title Captured Amidst Chaos
The main event delivered an even greater shock when Stephanie Vaquer’s NXT Women’s Championship run ended under controversial circumstances. Challenger Jacy Jayne battled the dominant “La Primera” in a fiercely competitive match, with both women showcasing their technical prowess.
The turning point came as Vaquer executed her devastating “Devil’s Kiss” finisher. Jayne’s allies – Fallon Henley and Jazmyn Nyx – suddenly intervened. Nyx distracted the referee while Henley blasted Vaquer with a vicious kick. Jayne capitalized, hitting a thunderous punch and scoring the pinfall in an astonishing upset.
