TNA Turning Point 11/14/25 (Results) – Dezmond Xavier (fka Wes Lee) returns – NXT Invasion

Countdown Pre-Show Highlights

• Kazarian rolls in as “the champ that matters.”
New TNA World Champion Frankie Kazarian arrived all swagger, brushing off Mike Santana as “yesterday’s news.” His attitude would be a theme for the night.

• Santino secures the building.
After NXT’s hostile appearance on Impact, Santino Marella put security on every door. According to him, this was a “closed set” situation.

• Jake Something wins chaotic three-way.
Jake Something outlasted Mance Warner and the mysterious Home Town Man in a wild opener. After Warner got distracted by Steph De Lander, the Home Town Man hit Sliced Bread… only to be snatched up by Jake and slammed Into the Void for the victory.

Kazarian’s Coronation — and Another Accusation

Kazarian rolled out his “King’s Speech,” bragging that his title win was his dream and the fans’ nightmare. He insisted he did not orchestrate the NXT invasion, though TNA President Carlos Silva revealed Kaz is on the investigation list.

Nic Nemeth interrupted and pointed the finger directly at Kaz. Nemeth vowed he’d cash in his Call Your Shot trophy later tonight — but first, they had business as reluctant tag partners.

Turning Point: Full Results

Kelani Jordan retains the Knockouts Championship

Kelani Jordan survived a physical showdown with M by Elegance. After M muscled her around and hit a fireman’s carry driver, the champ battled back, targeted the leg, and finished it with a split-legged moonsault.

Backstage, Gia Miller’s post-match interview was derailed by Ryan Nemeth, who chirped that the only story worth covering was whether his brother would cash in tonight.

NXT fallout continues

Ava denied any involvement with the NXT invasion, reminding Santino that NXT is her turf — but TNA is his to manage. Arianna Grace backed up her father and kept the peace.

AJ Francis overpowers BDE

YouTuber-turned-competitor BDE came out hot with dives, speed, and a slick Canadian Destroyer counter — but it wasn’t enough to topple the powerhouse. Francis flattened him with a spear and back-to-back chokeslams to seal the win.

No DQ: Indi Hartwell defeats Dani Luna

This one was as messy as advertised. Chairs, ladders, powder — you name it. The finish came when Hartwell drilled Luna with a Hurts Donut onto a steel chair after an elbow drop that sent both women crashing through a table.

Knockouts Tag Champs retain in triple threat turmoil

With Tessa Blanchard not cleared, Victoria Crawford drafted Mila Moore as her replacement partner. Things broke down fast, and in the chaos, The IInspiration caught Xia Brookside and planted her with the Idolizer to keep the gold.

Order 4 steals a win over Hardys & Cedric Alexander

The Hardys were rolling until Tasha Steelz cut off Jeff on the top rope. Ali tried to capitalize but wiped out Steelz instead. Matt hit a double Twist of Fate and nearly stole it, but Agent Zero yanked out the referee. Order 4 swarmed Alexander, and Ali snagged a low-blow roll-up for the cheap victory.

The Rascalz reunite — with Dezmond Xavier — to beat The System

A surprise eruption: Dezmond Xavier (fka Wes Lee) returned to team with The Rascalz in an eight-man sprint. Myron Reed hit highlight-reel cutters, Hot Fire Flame landed everywhere, and Xavier sealed the win with a picture-perfect Spiral Tap on Johnny Dango Curtis. Respect was shown all around afterward.

Eric Young points fingers at Santino

Young confronted the Director of Authority and accused him of being the mastermind behind the NXT assaults. He ominously warned a “cleanse” was coming.

X-Division: Leon Slater guts out a win over Rich Swann

Despite taking a nasty shot to the eye early and struggling with his balance, the young champion powered through. Slater reversed Swann into a Styles Clash and followed with the Swanton 450 to retain.

Post-match, TNA honored Slater’s late grandmother. Slater also mentioned he’s eyeing NXT Gold Rush, hoping to become the youngest NXT Tag Team Champion alongside Je’Von Evans.

Tag Team Main Event — and a Wild Post-Match Twist

Mike Santana finally shows, teaming with Steve Maclin to beat Kazarian & Nic Nemeth

Maclin had to start the match alone after Santana was absent all night. The former Marine held his own until distractions caught up. Just when Kaz and Nemeth were running the numbers, Santana stormed out, heavily taped but explosive. He drilled Kaz with the Spin The Block discus lariat to score the win.

But the night wasn’t over.

NXT Raids TNA… Again

Nic Nemeth seemed poised to cash in his Call Your Shot trophy on a downed Kazarian — but before the referee could make it official, the NXT contingent hit the ring en masse.

Robert Stone, Lexis King, Charlie Dempsey, High Ryze, Stacks, and Brooks Jensen overwhelmed everyone in sight. Even The Hardys couldn’t swing the tide with chairs. NXT closed the night standing tall over a wrecked TNA roster.

Joe Hendry Reportedly Wraps Up With TNA, Now Under WWE Contract

Joe Hendry’s momentum hasn’t slowed down for a second — and it looks like WWE is officially cashing in on the buzz.

After weeks of fans speculating about his future, Fightful Select is reporting that Hendry is finished with TNA and has now signed with WWE, finally answering one of the biggest questions coming out of his recent NXT appearances.

Quiet Exit From TNA?

According to the report, Hendry is no longer part of TNA’s internal creative plans. While he may still be spotted backstage at upcoming TNA events — he lives nearby and is tight with much of the roster — he’s not expected to appear on-screen. Essentially, all signs point to his run with TNA being over.

WWE Wanted Him Badly

One of the most interesting details from Fightful’s report is just how much WWE officials, particularly Shawn Michaels, have been pushing to land Hendry. Michaels has reportedly been a fan of Hendry’s work for a long time and strongly advocated for WWE to bring him in.

The twist? Hendry’s TNA contract wasn’t actually set to expire yet. Fightful’s sources suggest he still had months left on his deal, which implies one thing — WWE likely bought him out to expedite his jump to NXT.

TNA Pushed Back Publicly

Just a few weeks ago, TNA President Carlos Silva insisted that Hendry was still a TNA talent and would remain one “until he’s not.” At the time, Silva framed Hendry’s NXT appearances as part of the working agreement between TNA and WWE.

Well… it seems we’re officially at the “he’s not” part.

What’s Next for Hendry in WWE?

Hendry has already been connecting with the NXT audience in a way very few newcomers do. Fans loudly backed him in his feud with Ethan Page, and his charisma has made him an instant standout. With WWE now reportedly locking him in, don’t be surprised if his NXT presence grows quickly — or if he becomes one of the next big crossover stars to jump to the main roster.

One thing’s for sure: you believe in Joe Hendry — and now, apparently, so does WWE enough to buy him out.

Je’Von Evans & Leon Slater def. La Parka & Mr. Iguana

The night kicked off with a fast-paced tag battle that felt straight out of AAA’s wildest dreams. Je’Von Evans and Leon Slater went toe-to-toe with La Parka and Mr. Iguana in a showcase of athleticism and charisma. After a dizzying series of dives, springboards, and aerial counters, the young duo sealed the win when Slater hit a 450 Splash on Mr. Iguana. The crowd roared as Evans and Slater danced their way to victory, looking like NXT’s next big tag team threat.

Ethan Page Retains the NXT North American Championship (Day of the Dead Match)

“All Ego” Ethan Page defended his title against El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr. in one of the most brutal “Day of the Dead” matches NXT has ever seen. Between trash cans, tables, chairs, and mask-ripping mind games, both men left it all in the ring. Wagner nearly pulled off the upset after a wild avalanche Frankensteiner, but Page turned the tide with a blinding powder attack and a devastating Avalanche Twisted Grin through a table to retain the title.

Blake Monroe Wins the NXT Women’s North American Championship

Defending on behalf of Sol Ruca, Zaria battled Blake Monroe in a spirited showdown — but things took a dramatic turn when on the floor, Monroe knocks Sol over and Zaria sees red! Back inside, discus lariat but she doesn’t go for the pin, instead she checks on Ruca! Monroe capitalized on the chaos, attacks her from behind, spikes her with the Glamour Shot to score the pinfall and capture the NXT Women’s North American Championship for the first time in her career.

Tatum Paxley Captures the NXT Women’s Championship

In a match overflowing with interference and emotion, Tatum Paxley toppled Jacy Jayne to become the new NXT Women’s Champion. The Culling, Fatal Influence, and others all got involved in ringside bedlam before Izzi Dame accidentally struck Jayne with the title belt. Paxley seized the moment, hitting Cemetery Drive to score the three-count. The Culling celebrated in the ring — though Dame’s expression suggested there’s unfinished business ahead.

Darkstate Crowned New NXT Tag Team Champions (Broken Rules Match)

Broken Matt Hardy and Brother Nero defended their tag titles in pure carnage against Darkstate, in which amounted to a 4-on-two match because there was no rules in the match. Tables, ladders, and kendo sticks littered the arena in a chaotic brawl that lived up to its “Broken Rules” name. After Jeff Hardy’s missed Swanton through a pile of tables, Darkstate capitalized, hitting a Doomsday Device through another table on Brother Nero to win the NXT Tag Team Championships. The new champs stood tall as the Hardyz were left in the wreckage.

Ricky Saints Retains the NXT Championship Against Trick Williams

In the main event, “Absolute” Ricky Saints put the NXT Championship on the line against fan favorite Trick Williams in a hard-hitting, emotional clash. The two traded power moves, suplexes, and nearfalls, with Williams nearly sealing it after a Trick Shot and even a Book End through the announce desk. But Saints survived, hitting a sharp step-up tornado DDT to secure the win and retain the NXT Title. Saints stood tall amid smoke and lights as NXT closed the night on a dramatic note.

Broken Hardys Coming to NXT Halloween Havoc

Halloween Havoc is about to get a whole lot more “delightful.” The Hardys are bringing the chaos of the multiverse with them. Matt and Jeff Hardy will defend their NXT Tag Team Championships against DarkState — but this won’t be a standard title defense. The bout will be contested under Broken Rules, which essentially means no rules, no limits, and pure Hardy-brand insanity.

The announcement came in cinematic fashion straight from the Hardy Compound in Cameron, North Carolina. During a pre-taped promo from DarkState, the screen flickered and distorted before cutting to the familiar grounds of the Compound. There, fans saw Matt, Jeff, Señor Benjamin, Reby Hardy, and even the Hardy kids take part in a chilling ritual at the Lake of Reincarnation.

Moments later, the brothers emerged from the water transformed once more into Broken Matt and Brother Nero, signaling the long-awaited return of their most eccentric personas. In classic Hardy fashion, Matt declared, “State of Dark, you have broken the Broken Hardys. DarkState, you only broke us to make us stronger!”

This marks the first time the Broken Hardys have appeared in NXT under their infamous gimmick, and the timing couldn’t be better. Halloween Havoc has long been known for its spooky flair and over-the-top theatrics, making it the perfect stage for a Hardy resurrection.

Expect chaos, creativity, and maybe even a few lawnmowers of doom when the Broken Hardys defend their gold against DarkState under Broken Rules. One thing’s for sure — the universe of deletion has officially collided with NXT.

Samoan Dynasty’s Lance Anoa’i, Wes Lee, and Several NXT, Evolve & ID Talents Released from WWE

It’s been a tough week behind the scenes at WWE, as multiple names from the company’s developmental system—and even a member of wrestling’s legendary Samoan Dynasty—were let go.

Lance Anoa’i, son of former WWE star Samu and cousin to Roman Reigns, confirmed Friday that his time with WWE had come to an end. Anoa’i shared the news on X (formerly Twitter), noting that his run never really got started due to injuries and “bad luck” since signing. Despite not making an on-screen appearance, his family lineage and in-ring pedigree had drawn plenty of attention when he joined the company.

However, Anoa’i’s departure turned out to be part of a larger round of roster cuts. Reports from BodySlam’s Cory Hays and Fightful Select revealed that several names from the NXT and Performance Center ranks were also released. Among them was two-time NXT North American Champion Wes Lee, who had recently been sidelined with an injury. Other names included Stevie Turner, Jin Tala, Drako Knox, Haze Jameson, Summer Sorrell, Brayden “BJ” Ray, and Jamar Hampton.

Turner, who fans may remember from her stint as the “Prime Minister” of WWE Evolve and as Robert Stone’s co-Assistant GM in NXT, took to social media to confirm her exit. “My time with WWE has come to an end,” she wrote. “I’ve had a brilliant time and I’m so excited for the future. See you soon!”

Drako Knox—who had been featured as “Drake Starks” during Season One of WWE LFG—also confirmed his release, stating he was available for bookings in 30 days, as is standard with developmental contracts.

Adding to the list, Zara Zakher announced that her WWE ID deal had expired and that she’d be taking time away from wrestling. With Zakher included, the total number of confirmed departures from Friday’s round reached ten.

For many of these talents, especially those from the NXT and developmental ranks, the releases mark the end of one chapter and the potential start of another. Meanwhile, the loss of Lance Anoa’i quietly closes a brief but intriguing connection between the ever-expanding Samoan Dynasty and WWE’s current generation.
