WWE NXT Live Results: NXT Updates & Highlights (4th May 2021)

WWE NXT Results (May 4th, 2021): Winners, Grades, and Video Highlights

One of the best NXT episodes of the year, bar none. What a great match.

Thank you to everyone who stuck around for our coverage tonight. I'll see you all again next week.

Until then... I'm outta here.

Larae with the Wicked Stepsister on Shotzi on a chair and The Way wins it!

RESULT: The Way defeat Shotzi Blackheart and Ember Moon to win the NXT Women's Tag Team Championship!

Shotzi with a splash from the security rail onto Hartwell on the announce table. HOLY. CRAP.

This match is PPV quality awesome. One of the best street fights I have ever seen. WOW.

Anytime an announcer says "everything is legal" during a street fight-style match, I wonder what would happen if a competitor pulled out a gun like Brian Pillman or something.

Moon/Blackhart vs Hartwell/Larae kicks off before introductions can even start. Street fight is ON!

Cameron Grimes attempts to get into the VIP room of a nearby nightclub, but the club has been rented out by someone even richer than Grimes.... the Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase!

Apparently, that dog that was with the lady who confronted Shotzi and Ember earlier in the episode took a dump in Shotzi's tank. Gross.

Kushida vs Santos Escobar for the NXT Cruiserweight Championship NEXT WEEK!

YOU: Season 3 #WWENXT pic.twitter.com/M3W9UGmYrH

Speaking of El Eh Night, was that him with Ric Flair in that CarShield.com commercial?

WOOOOOOO!

L. A. KNIGHT. gets the win!

RESULT: L. A. KNIGHT defeats Jake Atlas.

L. A. Knight. He's here to take on Jake Atlas and Jake Atlas is gonna need an atlas to find his ass after L. A. Knight. kicks it to the other end of town.

That's a joke LA Knight said, I didn't make that up.

What the heck is the Diamond Mine?

Sarray manages to recover and gets the pin.

RESULT: Sarray defeats Zayda Ramier

Sarray goes for another running dropkick, but Ramier dodges as the Japanese superstar crashes into the ropes.

Sarray gets Ramier against the ropes and hits a diving dropkick, then goes for the pin with a Perfect-Plex, but Ramier kicks out at 2.

Sarray vs Zayda Ramier - the two latest additions to NXT's Women's division - are going one on one tonight. As in right now.

Looks like Johnny Gargano and Austin Theory figured out...The Way...to take down Karrion Kross. #WWENXT

As security drag Kyle, Pete, and Finn to the back, Gargano and Theory from behind in the ring. Kross dominates, until Gargano nails him from behind with his NA title belt.

Finn tells Kross that once he's done with Austin Theory... and then sucker punches him. Chaos ensues.

And now Finn Balor chooses this moment to return and talk all Irish-y.

O'Reilly is being very intense yet respectful, and tells Kross he wants a match with him - and he thinks Kross wants a match with him, too. Before Kross can answer, Pete Dunne comes out, too, to talk all British-y.

Karrion Kross talks about how he's gonna drop Austin Theory on his head next week (I really thought he was gonna say "YOU'RE NEXT!") when KYLE O'REILLY comes out!

Karrion Kross - dressed like a waiter at a Mexican restaurant for some reason - approaches the ring with Scarlett

"Your new best friend @Lady_Scarlett13, She's made sure that you've got a match against @WWEKarrionKross next week. Good luck!" 😮#WWENXT @austintheory1 @JohnnyGargano @RealKingRegal pic.twitter.com/BE6l6kGYKw

Thatcher gets a hold of Wade Barrett's show and uses it on Drake, then gets the armbar slapped on for the win.

RESULT: Thatcher/Ciampa defeat GYV

THIS IS FINE. 😨 #WWENXT pic.twitter.com/7Y7WHE3zcf

Thatcher has Gibson in a very painful-looking chin lock. Drake rushes in and plants a boot right into Thatcher's head... and Thatcher laughs it off. Ha ha ha ha!

👊👊

Thatcher and Ciampa take on Grizzled Young Veterans.... RIGHT NOW.

Grizzled Youg Veterans do not like your "swamo creature" feet and they do not like your Crocs. #WWENXT pic.twitter.com/qM0nXR5ZbU

Cameron Grimes heads backstage, celebrating his win, and is joined by Ever-Rise.

When did Ever-Rise become hilarious?

Asher Hale.

And just as I'm getting his name (and he put on a good show, don't get me wrong), Grimes with the Cave In and the win...

RESULT: Cameron Grimes defeats Asher Hale

Cameron Grimes is in action next, against.... some guy.

North American champion Johnny Gargano storms the office of William Regal with Austin Theory. Regal is in the middle of a meeting with Scarlett. Not sure what the point of all of that was.

Good company. #WWENXT

AJ Francis is apparently his name. Swerve is joined on the stage with Francis and his other buddies.

I don't know what just happened, but Swerve wins.

RESULT: Isiah "Swerve" Scott defeats Leon Ruff

THE DUDE FROM WWE TREASURES#WWENXT
— Ja' Von York (Mr. IMPACT For WNW) (@yorkjavon) May 5, 2021

Ruff nails Swerve with a couple of flying cutters, then knocks him over the security wall!

He climbs up a ladder and leaps.... and is caught by... Who IS that?

Swerve has Ruff placed against the steel steps and goes for a running knee... but MISSES! Ruff grabs a toolbox and drives it into the same knee! OW!
