Mason Rook came back on the Nov. 10 episode of WWE NXT and went straight for NXT Champion Grayson Waller, The Vanity Project held on to the NXT Tag Team Titles in a chaotic main event, and Kendal Grey talked her way into a title rematch with Kelani Jordan. No title changed hands on the show, which aired live on The CW from Winter Park, Florida (WWE, PWTorch).

The Lowdown
Our take (opinion): this was a set-the-table episode, and it set a lot of them. Waller now has three men lining up for his title in Rook, Shiloh Hill and Zilla Fatu, the tag division has turned into a three-team mess that the champions are happy to exploit, and next week already has a women’s title match. The in-ring work was the strongest part of the night, especially Prosper and Hendrix.
Key Takeaways
- No titles changed hands. The Vanity Project (Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes) retained the NXT Tag Team Titles over Hank Walker and Tank Ledger.
- Mason Rook returned and attacked NXT Champion Grayson Waller after Waller came out to CM Punk’s music to mock him. Shiloh Hill joined in.
- EK Prosper beat Kam Hendrix, Izzi Dame beat Wren Sinclair, and Lizzy Rain beat Chantel Monroe. Zaria attacked Dame after her win.
- Kendal Grey will challenge Kelani Jordan for the NXT Women’s Championship next week.

The Full Story
Waller Mocks Punk, and Rook Comes Back
The show opened with CM Punk’s music, but it was Grayson Waller who walked out, in a Punk-style shirt with a kangaroo on the flag. Waller bragged about beating Punk last week (PCP covered that finish in Kevin Owens costing Punk the NXT Title match), called himself “Best in the World” and asked who was next.
Shiloh Hill answered first, pointing out that everyone saw Waller grab a handful of tights to beat Punk. Waller brushed him off and tried to leave, and that is when Mason Rook appeared on the ramp in his return and laid Waller out. Hill got his shots in too, and Rook and Hill finished the segment staring at each other. Later, Rook told Blake Howard backstage that he worked to come back ahead of schedule and that Waller would not escape him.
EK Prosper def. Kam Hendrix
This was the best match of the night. Hendrix controlled long stretches with power, including a one-arm chokeslam after a “You Can’t See Me” taunt aimed at John Cena, and Prosper kicked out of a Death Valley Driver (WWE) that nearly ended it. Prosper sent Hendrix into the ring post and finished him with a moonsault.
Hendrix did not take it well. He threw chairs into the ring and had to be walked out. Later, while ranting backstage, he was told to cut it out by Tony D’Angelo, and Hendrix attacked him. D’Angelo had already appeared earlier in a short scene with Myles Borne, saying he was done thinking and ready to act.
Izzi Dame def. Wren Sinclair
Sinclair kept Dame off balance for much of the match and locked in the Final Wrench, but Dame rolled through it. When Sinclair went for an Alabama Slam, her back gave out, and Dame hit a running knee for the win. Straight after, NXT Women’s North American Champion Zaria hit the ring, attacked Dame and stood over her with the title. No match between the two has been announced.
Kendal Grey Gets Her Rematch
Kelani Jordan told the crowd that she plans to rest until the John Cena Classic on Dec. 14, which drew boos. Kendal Grey came out to say that she is back from injury and that Jordan has never given her a rematch. NXT’s Rob Stone then made Jordan vs. Grey for the NXT Women’s Championship for next week, per PWTorch.
Lizzy Rain def. Chantel Monroe
In a rematch from Monroe’s earlier upset, Monroe went after Lizzy Rain’s neck and back. Rain nearly won with a spinebuster into a Liontamer. Monroe then tried to steal it with her feet on the ropes, the referee caught her, and Rain hit Thunderstruck for the pin.
The Vanity Project Retain the Tag Titles
The Vanity Project were supposed to face Dusty Cup winners Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno, but they attacked Dar and Moreno backstage earlier in the night, and a trainer ruled the No. 1 contenders out. Hank Walker and Tank Ledger stepped in as challengers instead and jumped the champions before the bell. Tank hit a big senton on Baylor for a near fall. Dar and Moreno then came out for payback, and it backfired. In the confusion, per the official results, Myka Lockwood shoved Hank off the top rope and Baylor rolled him up to retain. Afterward, Hank and Tank argued with Dar and Moreno.

Zilla Fatu Gets Interrupted, and It Turns Into a Brawl
Zilla Fatu closed the show talking about being part of the John Cena Classic and his sights on Waller’s title. DarkState interrupted from the crowd, then Lexis King and BirthRight came out, and Los Perros del Mal joined in. All three groups ended up fighting in the ring as the show went off the air. Earlier in the night, John Cena personally invited Dar and Moreno and, separately, Kelani Jordan to his Classic, handing each a briefcase, according to PWTorch.
What’s Next
Kelani Jordan vs. Kendal Grey for the NXT Women’s Championship is set for next week. The John Cena Classic is on Dec. 14 (PCP’s background on that event is here). Rook, Hill and Fatu have all now made claims on Waller, but no NXT Title match has been announced. On the main roster, Punk has joined Team USA for Survivor Series (details).
