WWE NXT Melbourne Live 1/16/26 Results and Highlights

WWE NXT held a non-televised event in Melbourne, Florida on January 16, 2026, at the Melbourne Auditorium. The card featured a fast-paced Women's Title #1 Contendership Battle Royal — the winner earned a guaranteed title match that same night.

Below are the complete results, provided courtesy of Cagematch, along with key highlights pulled from social media.

#NXTMelbourne @lainey_wwe is in no hurry to take one of @karmen_wwe's kicks. She spends most of the match attacking her legs. Karmen rallies and lands a few, but a pursuit outside the ring results in a kick to the ring post, injuring Karmen and opening the door for a Lainey win. pic.twitter.com/0wnZzddHN9
