Next Week’s NXT Revenge Will Feature A Casket Match & More

Just as this week’s episode of WWE NXT was dubbed NXT Revenge Week 1, so naturally follows that next week is NXT Revenge Week 2, also taking place at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. So what’s advertised for the April 21, 2026 episode? Let’s run it down!

One of the non-title matches taking place will be Joe Hendry against Keanu Carver. This came about after Hendry was having one of his in-ring concerts, with his musical performance teasing that he might head up to the main roster soon. This was interrupted by Keanu Carver, who decided seemingly randomly to pick a fight with Hendry (as no real reasoning was stated yet why he attacked him). In a follow-up backstage segment, NXT General Manager Robert Stone said he had no choice but to put the match together, which Carver was more than enthusiastic about, saying he would make it Hendry’s funeral.

Another non-title match, but one that has a gimmick and a lot of history behind it, is the previously advertised Last Woman Standing match between Sol Ruca and Zaria. Both had promos on this show about their history together to build up hype for that bout.

NXT North Amercan Champion Myles Borne will defend his title against Dion Lennox, who attacked him at NXT Stand & Deliver after Borne had successfully retained the belt over Johnny Gargano. Lennox has been looking out for himself more so than the rest of DarkState, which has gotten on the nerve of Saquon Shugars, who almost ruined Lennox’s chance at the title by attacking Borne.

On the Women’s North American Championship side of things, Blake Monroe had won a mixed tag team match alongside Jackson Drake opposite Tatum Paxley and Shiloh Hill to earn another shot at the title. Paxley agreed to put it on the line, but with a stipulation, eventually revealing that it will be a casket match.

At least one new champion is guaranteed to be crowned as the vacated WWE Speed Championship tournament final will take place as well. Lexis King won last week’s semifinals match and will face EK Prosper, who defeated Dorian Van Dux this week to earn a spot in the finals.

With all that in mind, here is the lineup that we know so far of next week’s NXT:

  • Casket Match for the NXT Women’s North American Championship: Tatum Paxley (c) vs. Blake Monroe

  • Singles Match for the North American Championship: Myles Borne (c) vs. Dion Lennox

  • Last Woman Standing Match: Sol Ruca vs. ZARIA

  • Joe Hendry vs. Keanu Carver

  • Tournament Final – Singles Match for the Vacated WWE Speed Championship: EK Prosper vs. Lexis King
