Shawn Michaels has given his response to a major NXT title win at No Mercy.

No Mercy is in the books and was a big night of action for the NXT brand. Jacy Jayne retained her NXT Women’s Championship against Lola Vice after surprise interference by a masked star. Jayne’s Fatal Influence group has lost a member with one NXT star on their way out of WWE, but it looks like they’ve wasted no time in finding a replacement.

Ethan Page retained his NXT North American Title against Tavion Heights, and Sol Ruca held onto her WWE Speed Championship against Jaida Parker.

Je’Von Evans defeated Josh Briggs, and Jordynne Grace will hope to have brought an end to her personal feud with Blake Monroe as she won a weaponised steel cage match.

The night’s main event saw Oba Femi put his NXT Championship on the line against Ricky Saints. The former AEW star picked up the biggest win of his career to capture the gold and bring an end to the 263-day reign of Oba Femi.

WWE Champion Cody Rhodes has given his own reaction to Saints’ massive win, and now NXT boss Shawn Michaels has done the same.
