- Heavy Machinery vs Victor Andrews & Lars Sullivan-Just to clarify, Lars Sullivan is Dylan Miley, who made is debut two months ago. Before the match, Andrews cuts a picture-in-picture promo before the match, saying he's nervous about Sullivan, but this is the biggest opportunity of his career. Sullivan & Tucker Knight start off the match going back and forth before the two try to knock eachother down. Sullivan succeeds with a clothesline, only for Knight to come back with a dropkick. Sullivan responds with a standing powerslam before Andrews tags in. He is quickly taken down and bearhugged. Dozovic tags in and Knight tosses him Andrews for a bearhug of his own. Andrews fights out, only for Dozovic to hit a belly-to-belly suplex. Heavy Machinery squashes Andrews between themselves before Knight hits a hip toss and a corner splash. Heavy Machinery finishes Andrews off with the Compactor, where Dozovic picks up Andrews for a falling powerslam before Knight jumps on his back for a double splash. Dozovic makes the cover for the three and the win. After the match, Sullivan attacks Andrews before hitting an Uranage and gut-wrenching Andrews into a backbreaker rack.
- In a WWE.com exclusive interview, Killian Dain says no one, especially No Way Jose, is safe.
- Outcomes Roderick Strong for a promo...Oh boy. He says the last year for him has been a big rollercoaster for him and thanks the fans for accepting him when he opened up to them. He says the one thing he wants is the NXT Championship and now he's more inspired & driven to become the champion. He is interrupted by GLORIOUS! Bobby Roode comes out fake crying & wiping away the non-existent tears. He says Strong must be proud of all he's accomplished so far, congratulating him on winning matches...finally, his marginally-hot fiancee and his somewhat normal son. Damn...then again, that's not too surprising to hear from someone who's last name is literally pronounced "rude." He says Strong can't just get a title shot in Bobby Roode's NXT, you have to earn it before telling Strong to stay in his lane. He then offers to take a selfie with him one day so he can show his son that he stood next to the champion. Wow...Bobby Roode just torched Strong on the mic. Not that that's hard, really. Strong is a talented wrestler but the man is hot garbage on the mic.
- On the roof, Nikki Cross goes nuts, telling Asuka & Ruby Riot that they should play again before slamming her jacket on the ground.
- In the black room with a single spotlight, Paul Ellering says that the hungry (Heavy Machinery), the gifted (Tino Sabbatelli & Riddick Moss), and the misguided (SAnitY) will have no choice but to accept the pain and that their fate is in the hands of Authors of Pain.
- Sarah Logan vs Peyton Royce with Billie Kay-This is the official debut of Sarah Logan, better known as Crazy Mary Dobson. Peyton starts off toying with Logan, who quickly responds with a fireman's carry takedown and an armbar. Peyton fights out and hits a spinning heel kick for a near fall. Peyton locks in an STF, but Logan fights out and cradles Peyton for a near fall. Peyton keeps control, hitting a suplex, rolling through for another, and then hitting a Death Valley Driver, but Logan kicks out. Peyton starts slapping away at Logan, who responds with a headbutt and a dropkick. Logan punches & chops away at Peyton before hitting a running knee for a near fall. Peyton comes back with two elbows and a running knee before hitting the fisherman's suplex for the three and the win. Pretty solid match.
- In a clip from after the show last week, we see Andrade "Cien" Almas blowing off an interview and walking away with three women. He is then confronted by Thea Trinidad, who was unnamed in this segment. She slaps Almas after questioning if that's who he really is now.
- Hideo Itami vs Oney Lorcan-Before the match, we see a WWE.com exclusive interview from Itami. He says he's not in NXT yet and he's not going back to Japan. The two go back and forth before Itami forces Lorcan into the ropes and slaps him. Itami follows up with a stiff clothesline for a near fall and two knee strikes for another near fall. Itami lands an insanely stiff-sounding kick, but Lorcan comes back and hits the running Blockbuster, but Itami kicks out. Lorcan goes for a suicide dive, but Itami catches him with a kick before kicking him back into the ring. Itami goes to the top rope and hits a diving clothesline for a near fall. Itami starts to strike away Lorcan, but Lorcan is able to roll him up for a near fall. Lorcan chops Itami a bunch, but Itami brushes them off and goes for a GTS. Lorcan avoids it and starts slapping away at Itami before hitting two big running uppercuts, sending Itami out of the ring. Lorcan goes to the top rope and takes out Itami with a diving cannonball. Back in the ring, Itami favors his knee in the corner as the referee holds Lorcan back. However, Itami gets right up and strikes away at Lorcan, slapping away at him before kicking him down. Itami hits the GTS, but instead of covering Lorcan, hits a second GTS. Once again, Itami doesn't make the cover and hits a third GTS. Itami prepares for a fourth, only for Kassius Ohno to come down and stop him. The two go face-to-face before Itami shoves Ohno, prompting Ohno to shove him back. The two stare eachother down Itami leaves the ring and the referee calls off the match. I really enjoyed this match. Just two guys kicking the sh*t out of each other and it was awesome.
- Christy St. Cloud. She says she needed to reevaluate who she was & what she wanted after her loss in Orlando and missing out in Chicago. She says she'll deal with Billie Kay & Peyton Royce, but her next opportunity will be the opportunity.
- No Way Jose vs Killian Dain-Killian Dain got his own entrance theme instead of just SAnitY's regular theme. The two trade shots to start before Jose goes for a headlock. The two go back and forth before Jose hits a corner clothesline and goes to the top rope for a diving double axe handle. Jose boots Dain out of the ring before the commercial break. We come back to Dain blocking a fireman's carry attempt and hitting a crossbody. Dain stomps away Jose in the corner before hitting four elbow drops. Dain controls the match until Jose avoids the Ulster Plantation and hits a few forearm shots. Jose continues to strike away at Dain, but can't get him up in a fireman's carry. However, Jose succeeds after dodging a corner splash and hits the TKO, but Dain kicks out. Jose winds up for a big punch, but Dain catches him with a headbutt before dropkicking Jose into the corner. Dain finishes Jose off with the Ulster Plantation for the three and the win. This wasn't really anything worth watching.
