- Rich Swann & No Way Jose vs Drew Gulak & Tony Nese-Swann & Gulak kick off by exchanging shoulder blocks before Swann dropkicks Gulak. Jose & Nese tag in and Jose hits a snapmare and a flapjack for a one count. Nese leapfrogs Jose and dodges a punch before kicking Jose to the ground. Jose hits a delayed suplex on Nese before tagging in Swann. Jose slams Nese before Swann hits an assisted splash for a near fall. Nese throws Swann into the ropes and to the outside, where Nese superkicks Swann before the commercial break. We come back to Gulak working over Swann with a headlock. After a double clothesline spot, Jose gets the hot tag and runs wild, hitting clothesline that turns Nese inside out for a nearfall. The heels go for a double suplex, but Jose fights out and hits a pop-up knockout punch, but Nese makes the save. Swann takes Nese out with a somersault plancha on the outside as Jose hits the cobra clutch slam on Gulak for the win. Fine little match. Post-match, Jose says that Gulak & Nese couldn't handle them, and Nese said there was no way they could get knocked out in the first round. They do their joint "Can You Handle This/No Way Jose" chant to close the segment.
- We get a video from earlier today of Tye Dillinger in the trainer's room. Dillinger says Bobby Roode gave him his word for Dusty Rhodes, and he broke it. He says he knows William Regal will give him a match at Takeover: Toronto against Roode before walking off.
- Austin Aries gets interviewed about his partner in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic while eating a banana. He says he won't say who it is, but he says his partner is the only person who deserves to be his partner. He also rags on Hideo Itami for getting injured and having to pull out of the Tag Team Classic.
- Bobby Roode vs Sean Maluta-How does WWE expect anyone to boo Bobby Roode with an entrance like that? It's not possible. Roode yells "GLORIOUS" right in Maluta's face before taking him down with a snapmare and doing it again. Maluta responds with a dropkick and tilt-a-whirl headscissors before Roode hits a side suplex. Roode proceeds to beat down Maluta, tossing him around the ring before Maluta hits a spin kick, only to get a spinebuster in return. Roode hits the implant DDT for the win. Post match, Roode says that he will Takeover Toronto in five weeks, and says that Dillinger has been whining on Twitter for days. He says he only teamed with Dillinger because he felt bad for him and wanted to bring him up to his level. He says he has no beef with Dillinger, but he has to eliminate the losers from his life. Dillinger runs down and the two brawl, ending with Dillinger clotheslining Roode from the ring.
- Liv Morgan gets interviewed. She says she doesn't have to run her mouth like Billie Jay & Peyton Royce only to get blindsided by Kay & Royce. They drag her out to the stage and beat her down some more before mocking her again. Royce says they are putting the women's division on notice, including Asuka, before saying the division belongs to them.
- Tucker Knight & Otis Dozovic vs Austin Aries & ?-I'm pretty sure Dozovic is the security guard who ate a Kinshasa last week. But more importantly, Austin Aries mystery partner is...RODERICK STRONG! MR. ROH IS IN NXT! Aries & Dozovic start off with by trading blows before catching Aries off a crossbody, tagging in Knight, and sandwiching Aries between both of them. Strong tags and the two trade blows before Knight dropkicks Strong. The big guys get a lot of offense, double splashing Aries before doing a big chest bump. Dozovic goes for a Vader Bomb, but Aries distracts him, allowing Strong to kick him down. Strong beats down Dozovic before tagging in Aries to hammer away at Dozovic. The heels work over Dozovic until Dozovic blocks a double suplex with a double suplex of his own. Knight gets the hot tag and runs through the heels, hitting an arm trap belly-to-belly on Strong followed by a double corner splash, only for Strong to pull Aries out of the way of another that sends him over the top rope. Aries hits a suicide dive on Knight before hitting a rolling elbow, followed by Death by Roderick, a fireman's carry double knee gutbuster, and a Sick Kick, a running single leg dropkick, from Strong for the win. Really good match. Strong & Aries were obviously great, but Knight & Dozovic held their own in there as well. Really impressed with those two.
- Andrade Cien Almas gets interviewed in Spanish with Andrea DeMarco translating for him. He says he's been disrespected by the NXT crowd and that he deserves respect. He then speaks in English and says he doesn't care about respect anymore and only cares about himself.
- Nikki Cross vs Daniel Kamela-Cross takes the fight right to Kamela before Kamela suplexes her to no effect. Cross hits a neckbreaker before starting to bite & claw herself. Cross hits a fisherman's neckbreaker to get the quick win. After the match, Cross continues to beat down Kamela before Eric Young pulls her off. She ends up forearming Young across the face, but Young looks happy that she did it. She goes back to Kamela before Sawyer Fulton pulls her off again. The announcer then says that the referee has reversed his decision, giving the win to Kamela.
- Outcomes Shinsuke Nakamura. He says he's not done with Samoa Joe and tells him that if he wants the NXT Championship, he'll face him again at Takeover. He says he'll beat him with no mercy, which brings out...Patrick Clark? He says we're gathered here today to get to NXT Takeover: Toronto. He says Joe vs Nakamura has already happened, and that something new should happen. He proposes himself vs Nakamura, so Nakamura kicks him in the head. Out limps Samoa Joe, who stares down Nakamura before going back to the back. The referees tend to Clark, only to set him up in perfect position for a Kinshasa, which Nakamura gives him to close the show.
