WWE NXT Results 5/14 - Women's North American Title Ladder Match Qualifiers, Heritage Cup On The Line

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s results for "WWE NXT" on May 14, 2024, coming to you live from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida!

The first two entrants in the Ladder Match at "NXT" Battleground on June 9 to crown the inaugural Women's North American Champion will be determined tonight, as Lash Legend goes one-on-one with Ivy Nile and Sol Ruca squares off with Izzi Dame in a pair of qualifier matches. The four women, alongside Jaida Parker, Brinley Reece, Fallon Henley, Tatum Paxley, Kelani Jordan, Wren Sinclair, Thea Hail, and Michin all became eligible to compete in qualifier matches after they emerged as the top twelve in the "NXT" Women's Combine hosted by "NXT" General Manager Ava last week.

No Quarter Catch Crew's Charlie Dempsey will be putting the "NXT" Heritage Cup on the line against Tony D'Angelo of The Family. Tensions between No Quarter Catch Crew and The Family have been on the rise over the course of the past few weeks, dating back to a few weeks ago when No Quarter Catch Crew enlisted the help of The Family to take care of an issue.

As his sights on Trick Williams' "NXT" Championship, Noam Dar of Meta-Four will be colliding with Je'Von Evans. Dar hosted Williams last week on an explosive edition of "The Supernova Sessions" after the aforementioned Lash Legend had gave Williams a mysterious envelope, in which it was revealed that the envelope had contained a picture and there was some sort of shared secret between Williams and Legend.

Additionally, Wes Lee has something on his mind to share after scoring a win over Josh Briggs last week and continuing his quest to regain the North American Championship. OTM's Bronco Nima and Lucien Price will be taking on Edris Enofe and Malik Blade in tag team competition.

We are live! We see officials check on Noam Dar who is surrounded by broken set pieces and has seemingly been attacked backstage. Meta-Four rushes in to check on him, and both Jakara Jackson and Oro Mensah automatically assume Trick Williams is to blame for the attack. Lash Legend defends him.

Lee says the last time he was in the ring with a mic, things were quite a bit different. He says he was in one of the darkest times of his life, and he had no idea if he'd ever be back competing inside the ring. He says fans know how much "NXT" means to him, but so did his North American Championship. He says relinquishing the title made him question if his career was really over, but he missed being a professional wrestler. He says he missed it so much, he was walking two days after having surgery and was back in the gym a few weeks later.

Lee says he was focused on one goal during his recovery, and that was getting back to "NXT". He says he was supposed to miss nearly a year of competition, but here he is medically cleared six months later.

Before Lee can continue, Ivar makes his way down to the ring and says everyone is excited to have Lee back including him. He says he knows what it's like to come back from a career threatening injury, and says they had the same spinal suregon. He says when he came back, he had to fight for everything he got. He says he knows Lee isn't afraid to fight for everything as well, and says they both want title shots.

Josh Briggs' music hits, and he makes his way down. Briggs says the three of them are in a pickle, and sas they're all emotional between Lee's comeback story and Ivar showing the world who he is behind the paint and the viking calls. He says it's a man's game, and says he and Femi tore the house down along with Dijak at "NXT" Stand & Deliver. He says now that his ribs are healed, he thinks he needs to run it back with Femi.

Femi says Lee, Ivar, and Briggs all have compelling arguments. Lee challenges Femi to put his North American Championship on the line in a Fatal Four-Way at Battleground, but Femi hops out of the ring and tells Lee, Ivar, and Briggs to face off in a Triple Threat Match where the winner gets to challenge him for the North American Championship at Battleground.
