WWE NXT Results: Winners, Live Grades, Reaction and Highlights After Vengeance Day

Welcome to Bleacher Report's live coverage of WWE NXT on February 18.

Following his surprising debut last week, Ricky Starks officially signed his WWE contract on the show.

Here is a look at what else WWE advertised for Tuesday's edition:

—Karmen Petrovic vs. Kelani Jordan vs. Jaida Parker

—Zaria and Sol Ruca vs. Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson

—Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo vs. Shawn Spears

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

NXT opened with Oba Femi coming to the ring with an angry look on his face. He called out the four men who attacked him at Vengeance Day, but TNA's Moose appeared instead. They teased a match, but there was no physicality.

After a break, the first match got underway with Parker, Jordan and Petrovic fighting it out for a shot at Stephanie Vaquer's NXT North American Championship.

All three women traded shots until Petrovic was driven out of the ring. Jordan hit a nice springboard moonsault to take out both rivals at ringside and take control. She had the upper hand until Parker began to overpower her.

All three of these Superstars have shown great growth in NXT, and this match was a good illustration of that. Everyone's offense looked good, and they worked well together because they have all trained together.

Petrovic was able to score the win with help from Ashante "Thee" Adonis, but the action continued as Parker and Jordan fought into the crowd.

Result: Petrovic defeated Parker and Jordan

Grade: B

Notable Moments and Observations

—Femi is the only man in the world who can get away with walking like that and looking tough.

—It's too bad WWE has never found a good way to use Ashante on his own. He has some talent but has never been given much of a chance to show it.

—Parker's mule kick to Jordan while she was upside down in the corner was nasty.

Jackson and Ruca locked up to start this tag team match. Legend had the power advantage, but Ruca had the speed.

All four women had a chance to work together at different points, but the matchup everyone wanted to see was Jackson and Zaria. Any time they made contact, the crowd paid attention.

While this match had a lot of good energy and some fun moments, it also had some sloppy spots that could have looked better had they slowed down just a little.

Ruca was able to get the pin for her team after hitting her finisher on Jackson.

This was decent, but it left a lot of room to grow.

Result: Ruca and Zaria defeated Jackson and Legend

Grade: C

Notable Moments and Observations

—It's going to be heartbreaking when Zaria finally turns on Ruca.

—Ruca did not roll out of the way of an elbow drop fast enough, so it looked like she no-sold it.

—Ruca's finisher looks cool but is so impractical. She should use it as a mid-match move instead.

After the contract signing with the newly named Ricky Saints, Stacks and Spears had a singles match.

This was a relatively short and uneventful bout that ended with Spears scoring the win. It wasn't memorable, but it wasn't bad by any means.

The two groups have a lot of potential combinations of opponents, so this won't be the last time we see them do battle.

Result: Spears defeated Starks

Grade: C-plus

Notable Moments and Observations

—Wes Lee will be Saints' first opponent next week.

—Saints being so surprised at how crazy NXT can be was funny.

—NQCC called out The Hardys, and Lexis King challenged Moose for his X Division title.

Andre Chase's former students got him into a match with Eddy Thorpe this week in an attempt to bring back the old Andre.

Thorpe took control early, but Chase U students showed up in the crowd to cheer on their mentor. Thorpe was just coming off a big win over Trick Williams, so he was not looking to lose to Chase just a few days later. 

Thorpe regained control and won with a DDT as Chase's students looked on from ringside.

This was another short and uneventful match, but the quick segment with Williams after it was over was interesting. It looks like we may see a new side of Trick soon.

Result: Thorpe defeated Chase

Grade: C

Notable Moments and Observations

—Do you enjoy the Chase U stuff? It seems to be either loved or hated depending on who you talk to.

—Thorpe's DDT looks good. 

Jordynne Grace teamed up with Vaquer and Giulia in the main event to take on Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley and Jazmyn Nyx.

With six women in the match and about 15 minutes left in the show, they had no time to waste. They got right into the fight and kept the pace high.

Grace took every opportunity to show off her power by throwing everyone around. When everyone had a standoff, the babyfaces took control as Grace took everyone out with a suicide dive.

They kept up the energy throughout the break and into the next segment. Everyone was working hard to make sure this match stood out, and for the most part, it worked.

The Juggernaut got the win for her team by pinning Paxley. She and the two champions of the NXT women's division stood tall, but you could tell Grace had her eyes on both belts.

The show ended with Robert Stone being found after an attack. It looks like the new stable in NXT is trying to send a message.

Result: Grace, Giulia and Vaquer won

Grade: B

Notable Moments and Observations

—Grace's dive looked good, but the way she landed appeared a little rough.

—Grace hit a decent Muscle Buster.

—Giulia and Vaquer have some of the best strikes in NXT.

Tuesday's episode had a few notable moments, but the biggest talking point coming out of the show was Ricky Starks changing his name to Ricky Saints in NXT.

Not only did he sign his contract and reveal his WWE name, but he also quickly found his first opponent in Wes Lee. It was a decent segment to properly introduce the newcomer to the NXT crowd.

As far as the matches go, nothing stood out in a significant way, but the main event and the opening contest provided some of the best action.

NXT featured the women's division heavily this week, which has become a trend on this brand. With so many great talents, it's awesome to see them getting the chance to shine.

Grade: B
