Trick Williams captures TNA World Championship at NXT Battleground in history-making moment
Trick Williams made history on Sunday night at NXT Battleground when he defeated Joe Hendry for the TNA World Championship in the final match of the premium live event. Williams took aim at Hendry in recent weeks as the latter superstar had been riding high. Hendry won the TNA World Championship against Nic Nemeth at TNA Genesis. He has appeared on WWE television since then as he entered the Royal Rumble this past February and stepped up to the plate to take on Randy Orton at WrestleMania 41. However, Williams became Hendry's primary opponent when the Scotsman called him out late last month. He even interfered in Williams' attempt to become the No. 1 contender battle royal for the NXT Championship. It allowed the Battleground match to be made official. Williams and Hendry fought valiantly. As the match wore on, Williams tried to use the TNA belt to clock Hendry. The referee took it away from him before he could use it. Hendry rolled him up before he could use it but only got a two-count. Hendry went for the Standing Ovation before Williams raked his eyes. Williams hit a flapjack on Hendry, who fell face-first onto the title, which laid on the canvas. Williams hit a Trick Shot on Hendry and pinned him for the win. Williams became the first active WWE-connected superstar to hold the TNA World Championship – a significant moment in the two companies' recent partnership. Hendry was the only champion who failed to defend their title on the card. Sol Ruca defeated Kelani Jordan to retain the Women's North American Championship. Stephanie Vaquer topped Jordynne Grace to keep the NXT Women's Championship. Oba Femi defended the NXT Championship against Myles Borne. It is unclear what the future will hold for Williams, but it should give him a huge boost of momentum for the next few weeks.

Sol Ruca retains title with daring top-rope finisher at WWE NXT Battleground
Image via WWE WWE NXT Battleground 2025 kicked off in spectacular fashion as Sol Ruca defended her North American Women's Championship with a high-risk, high-reward performance. The 25-year-old champion stunned fans and fellow Superstars alike with a jaw-dropping top-rope version of her signature move, the 'Sol Snatcher. ' Kelani Jordan pushes champion to the limit Challenger Kelani Jordan brought her A-game to Tampa's Yuengling Center. Having secured the title shot by defeating Ruca's partner Zaria, Jordan came inches away from claiming the championship. She landed multiple Frog Splashes, nearly scoring three quick pinfalls in a row. A Spanish Fly from the top rope added to the near-falls, but Ruca refused to back down. Their chemistry was on full display, with both Superstars countering and striking in rapid succession. The match reached its peak when Ruca reversed a final attack and delivered the Sol Snatcher - not from the mat, but the top rope - to seal the win. WWE universe erupts Over Sol Ruca's Finish Social media exploded following the finish, with praise pouring in from all corners. 'If NXT had a Hall of Fame, Sol Ruca would be inducted tonight,' one fan wrote. FadeAwayMedia tweeted, 'I HAVE SEEN ENOUGH. SOL RUCA THE BEST IN THE WORLD.' Even WWE's official account joined the conversation, calling attention to the high-flying finisher. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Some fans called for Ruca's immediate promotion to the main roster, while others marveled at her athleticism, saying she had 'the best finisher' in the company. That said, a few skeptical viewers pointed out the visible choreography behind the move, commenting on its predictability. However, the overall reaction remained overwhelmingly positive. Sol Ruca's victory at Battleground marks her first successful title defense since winning the championship at Stand and Deliver during WrestleMania weekend. That ladder match saw her outlast top names like Lola Vice, Thea Hail, and Jordan herself. In addition to her NXT reign, Ruca also holds the WWE Women's Speed Championship - becoming one of the few Superstars in recent memory to hold titles across two brands simultaneously. With Battleground's momentum in full swing and three more titles still on the line, Ruca's performance has undoubtedly raised the bar. Whether she faces Jordan again or a new challenger emerges, one thing is clear - Sol Ruca is not just defending a title, she's building a legacy.
