WWE NXT Results: Winners, Live Grades, Reaction and Highlights from February 4

Doc-Chris Mueller

Welcome to Bleacher Report's live coverage of WWE NXT on February 4.

Here's a look at what WWE advertised for Tuesday's show:

Let's take a look at everything that happened on this week's episode of NXT.

Stephanie Vaquer vs. Jacy Jayne

NXT WWE

The first match of the night saw Vaquer take on Jayne, who had Fallon Henley and Jazmyn Nyx with her at ringside, as usual.

Vaquer took control early and began working some submissions, but a series of kicks to the thigh in the corner allowed Jayne to turn the tables.

They put on a good, hard-fought match with a variety of offense. Vaquer has continued to shine in NXT since her debut, and this week allowed her to add another good performance against Jayne.

A superplex from Vaquer seemed to almost give Jayne a boost of energy and aggression. There was a weird moment when Nyx tried to interfere but accidentally hit Jayne, but the ref let the match continue.

Vaquer hit her finisher on Jayne for the win after taking Nyx down.

This was a good match to kick off the show, but it slightly fell apart in the last couple of seconds.

Result: Vaquer defeated Jayne.

Grade: B

Notable Moments and Observations

Channing 'Stacks' Lorenzo vs. Ridge Holland

King came out and gave a promo declaring he is his father's son and he refuses to be something he's not anymore. Shockingly, Fandango came out to confront him.

The returning star was greeted by loud cheers and chants of "Welcome back." They agreed to have a Heritage Cup match.

After a break, Ridge Holland was making his entrance for the next match when Channing Lorenzo decided to attack him before the bell.

Holland recovered and drove Stacks to the steel steps at ringside. Shawn Spears and his crew were shown watching from the crow's nest as Stacks began to make a comeback.

Izzy Dame almost got involved, but Holland scared her out of the ring. He scooped up Stacks for a package DDT to score the win in a quick but decent match.

Result: Holland defeated Stacks

Grade: C+

Notable Moments and Observations

Sol Ruca and Zaria vs. Gigi Dolin and Tatum Paxley

Sol Ruca and Zaria teamed up this week to take on Tatum Paxley and Gigi Dolin.

Paxley and Ruca started with a fast-paced exchange.

Zaria came in and slapped the life out of Dolin to get a big reaction from the crowd. She and Ruca set up for a double-team move, but Dolin countered and took control.

Zaria asserted her dominance whenever she was in the ring while Ruca usually allowed the other team to be in control, so all four women got some time to shine.

Unfortunately, this match had a couple of awkward moments that stuck out too much not to notice them.

Ruca and Zaria scored a surprising win here.

Result: Ruca and Zaria defeated Paxley and Dolin

Grade: C

Notable Moments and Observations

Kelani Jordan vs. Karmen Petrovic

NXT WWE

After a backstage interview with Trick Williams, we got the segment with Bayley, Perez and Giulia.

Bayley tried to talk some sense into her former protege before the champ arrived.

Charlotte Flair showed up to tease that she might challenge for the NXT title following her Royal Rumble win despite all of us knowing that is not going to happen two times.

Cora Jade showed up with a kendo stick and attacked Bayley and Giulia from behind. She swung at Perez but missed, so it appears their friendship is officially done again.

Next up was Petrovic vs. Jordan. Neither competitor got a full entrance due to the break, but that meant we got right to the action when the show returned.

Jaida Parker showed up in the middle of the match and taunted Jordan, allowing Karmen to take control as the show went to a commercial. Parker joined commentary but did not sit at the table. She stood in front of it so she could keep an eye on the match.

Jordan seemed to be more aggressive at the end just because Parker was there. She won by a submission, but when she applied the hold again and refused to let go, the ref called for the decision to be reversed.

This was a fun match with some great spots, but it definitely left room to grow.

Parker and Jordan may end up becoming a tag team if Jordan continues down this path.

Result: Petrovic defeated Jordan by referee reversal

Grade: B-

Notable Moments and Observations

Oba Femi and Trick Williams vs. A-Town Down Under

NXT WWE

This week's main event this week saw Femi and Williams team up to take on Grayson Waller and Austin Theory.

Williams tagged himself in to start the match against Theory, which didn't sit well with the NXT champion. Waller came in and hit some chops, but Williams lit him up with his own chop that echoed in the arena.

Demi and Williams talked some trash to each other before the champ tagged himself in. Femi pulled Williams out of the ring to argue, which allowed A-Town Down Under to take over.

Williams took a beating for a long time at the hands of Theory and Waller, setting up Femi for the eventual hot tag once he recovered and got back to the apron.

This was a solid tag team match, but it played out in a predictable way.

Eddy Thorpe showed up and interfered by hitting Williams with a strap and costing him the match. Thorpe kept attacking Williams while Femi walked away and let it happen.

Result: A-Town Down Under defeated Femi and Williams

Grade: B

Notable Moments and Observations

The Final Word

This week's NXT didn't have any big matches that are must-see, but it did have one moment that is going to have people talking.

Fandango made his return to WWE for the first time since 2021 to confront King and challenge him for the NXT Heritage Cup.

He is there as a representative of TNA, which is why it's a little surprising he is using the Fandango name again instead of the Dirty Dango moniker or something else more current.

With Tyler Breeze still working for WWE, a Fashion Police reunion is a real possibility now. On an episode with a lot of filler to get us to the next stage of storylines, Fandango's appearance was definitely needed to give it a boost.

Grade: C+
