WWE NXT Live Updates, Results and Highlights From June 16

Thea Hail struggled to chug an energy drink ahead of her Speed match while Izzi Dame arrived with confidence and The Culling behind her.

Hail went after the left arm of Dame right away, trying to set up the Kimura Lock, but Dame relied on the ropes to protect her.

Corey Graves and Vic Joseph debated over whether Hail was on the right track throughout this contest.

Just as the clock went under 1 minute, Dame ducked a Springboard Senton and sealed the victory with a Running Knee.

Winner: Izzi Dame

Shawn Spears was the most pleased of anyone that Dame won, mockingly clapping at a fallen Hail.

Afterward, backstage, Wren Sinclair and Kendal Grey talked about who was coming for her Women's Speed Championship.

Lola Vice arrived to warn Grey to focus on making sure they won their tag team match later.

In a video from last week, Hank Walker and Tank Ledger spoke with Matt Mathews and Aaron Rourke in Robert Stone's office.

BirthRight arrived to mock Mathews and Rourke, questioning why a celebrity was taking up time from the future of the business.

Lexis King talked up his Men's Speed Championship and guaranteed Arianna Grace's Women's Speed Championship victory to come.

Hank and Tank agreed to give BirthRight a "blue collar beatdown" if they kept running their mouths, seemingly setting up a match.

With a return to the ring, Tavion Heights took back over, dominating Drake with strength.

NXT showed Jaida Parker preparing herself backstage for her match with Nattie later.

Drake finally caught Heights to turn the tide with a perfectly executed handspring cutter then dived onto his opponent on the floor.

The Vanity Project leader headed to the top rope where he was caught with a Superplex and Diving Splash for a near-fall.

Myles Borne took out Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes when Myka Lockwood distracted the referee.

This allowed Heights to lay out Drake with the Heights Bomb for the victory.

Winner: Tavion Heights

Afterward, after the champion raised his hand, Heights told Borne that he did not need his help.

Jackson Drake arrived with the full force of The Vanity Project: Brad Baylor, Ricky Smokes and Myka Lockwood.

Tavion Heights caught Drake immediately and threw him around with technical precision while Myles Borne watched the action backstage.

The distractions of Smokes and Baylor allowed Drake to make the comeback, kneeing Heights of the ring.

Over a hurting Heights, The Vanity Project posed together as NXT went to commercial break.

NXT started with a recap of Naraku and Kendal Grey's No. 1 contender victories as well as Zaria capturing the Women's North American championship.

Corey Graves joined Vic Joseph on commentary for the show instead of the usual Booker T.

Zaria talked up escaping Sol Ruca's shadow, causing a brief "You deserve it!" chant, which she shut down by telling the crowd that they never believed in her.

Kelani Jordan interrupted to mock Zaria and give her advice. She warned her that the crowd would abandon her, and she might never get another championship opportunity once she lost this one.

Heralded with an exasperated scream from Jordan, Kendal Grey continued the NXT women's division promo interruptions to mock Lani.

Lola Vice quickly arrived as well to talk down about everyone in the ring. Robert Stone arrived to make a tag match for the night, though Vice stole his thunder by stating the obvious conclusion.

According to Stone, this is what makes this the best women's division in wrestling.
