WWE offered a special treat for its fanbase in the form of last night’s NXT Homecoming 2025, with the nostalgia acts being a prime factor. A bunch of main roster talents appeared on the show that went down from Full Sail University, and a couple of them also put their titles on the line.
To kick things off on NXT Homecoming 2025, Triple H was there in the ring with Shawn Michaels, who praised HHH for the great work he’s doing with the main roster and securing billion-dollar deals. Triple H got serious and teased what if he wanted to return to NXT. Michaels said then they’d have a big problem. William Regal interrupted and said that they should settle it in WarGames.
In the opening contest of NXT Homecoming 2025, SmackDown roster members Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss (c) defeated The Culling (Izzi Dame & Tatum Paxley) to retain the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship. Before the win, Flair and Bliss put over NXT women from the past, including The Four Horsewomen and Paige.
Speaking of past women on NXT, Shayna Baszler made an appearance at NXT Homecoming 2025 after the title bout. Sol Ruca and Zaria were arguing about the finish of last week’s number-one contender’s match when Lainey Reid and Candace LeRae interrupted. Baszler joined them and mentioned being the longest-reigning champion on NXT. She told Sol and Zaria to fix their problem by apologizing to each other.
