- Aleister Black vs BOBBY FISH!-Yes! One-half of reDRagon is in NXT! The two feel eachother out to start before Black goes to a wristlock. The two trade holds going back and forth. Black connects with a kick to the chest, which Fish responds to with multiple kicks of his own. Fish boots Black to the ropes before Black strikes away at Fish, leading to a running knee that sends Fish out of the ring. Black tries to suplex Fish back into the ring from the apron, but Fish blocks it with a knee before locking in a sleeper from the apron. The ref forces a break, after which Fish drops down and kicks Black's leg out from under him from ringside.It looked awesome. After a commercial break, we come back to Fish beating down Black in the ropes, following up with a slingshot senton for a near fall. Fish controls the match, working over Black's leg. Black mounts a comeback and connects with a big boot followed by multiple kicks to the chest. Black hits a springboard moonsault before hitting a jumping knee strike. Black sets up and connects with Black Mass for the three and the win. Pretty solid match.
- In a WWE.com exclusive from last week, we see the fallout from the Ohno/Itami vs SAnitY match last week. Itami blames Ohno for their loss last week, which prompts Ohno to fire back, saying that Itami has only been blaming everyone since Takeover: Chicago and he's done trying to get through to him.
- We get a vignette for the Street Profits, Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford.
- In a WWE.com video, we see the Velveteen Dream confuse Kayla Braxton for a homeless person and then refuse an interview because they aren't in the appropriate setting.
- Vanessa Borne vs Jayme Hachey-Mae Young Classic Qualifier-"Who?" You might be asking. Well, Borne is a former Arizona Cardinals cheerleader who was trained by Rikishi & Gangrel. She's wrestled a few times in NXT under her real name Daniella Kamela. Hachey is better known as Jayme Jameson and is a former SHINE Tag Team Champion with Marti Belle as Better Than You. The two held the belts for over a year and have the longest reign in the title's history. Jameson starts off with a shoulder block, but Borne rolls through on a sunset flip and leaps over Hachey and kicks her in the back. Hachey responds with a sidewalk slam for a one count before locking a surfboard stretch. Borne fights to her feet and snapmares Hachey before double chopping Hachey. Borne follows up with a bad dropkick and a kick before hitting a spinning leg-hook slam for the three and the win. I think that's what it was. But anyway, this was bad. Borne is clearly green and still needs a lot of work.
- In a WWE.com exclusive from last week, SAnitY attacks Drew McIntyre in the parking lot.
- In his office, William Regal talks with Bobby Roode about his next challenger for the NXT Championship. Regal drops the fact that both Drew McIntyre and Killian Dain are undefeated, so Roode proposes he books McIntyre vs Dain to "see what happens." Regal agrees, saying that the winner will face Roode for the NXT Championship.
- Outcomes Johnny Gargano, who still has the DIY entrance video.Takeover: Chicago was two months ago and they couldn't change his entrance video in that time? For real? He says he missed the fans and used to get excited when he heard his music hit. He says he never thought Tommaso Ciampa, someone he would take a bullet for would be the one to pull the trigger on him. He says he can't understand why Ciampa did what he did, but he says he's done dwelling on the past and he's looking towards the future. He says he needs to get back to wrestling and that he needs to be at Takeover: Brooklyn. He ends by saying he needs to be Johnny Wrestling again. A new entrance theme plays to close out the segment.
- The Authors of Pain (c) with Paul Ellering vs Heavy Machinery-NXT Tag Team Championships-Over 1000 pounds between these two teams. Jesus. King Ross better get working on a Triple H version of "Vince McMahon Likes Big Sweaty Men." Tucker Knight & Akam start off with Akam beating down Knight in the corner. Knight turns the tables and hits two corner splashes, but a third is countered with a back elbow by Akam. Otis Dozovic & Rezar both tag in and go head to head. Rezar headbutts Dozovic and goes for a clothesline, but Dozovic doesn't budge. The two trade blows before Dozovic floors Rezar with a body block. Both teams have a standoff in the ring before the commercial break. We come back to the AOP beating down Knight in the corner. The AOP controls the match until Knight catches Rezar with a clothesline.Dozovic gets the hot tag and runs wild on Akam, flooring him with multiple body blocks before hitting a belly-to-belly suplex on Rezar. Dozovic follows up with a corner splash on both men, during which he tags in Knight before power slamming Akam. Dozovic follows up by bodyslamming Knight onto Akam, but Akam kicks out. Heavy Machinery goes for a double team, but Rezar cuts off Knight with a big boot before Akam hits a DDT on Dozovic. Rezar tags in for the Last Chapter and gets the three and the win to retain the belts. Pretty good, hard hitting match.After the match, SAnitY comes out before suddenly, pieces of paper. Mauro Ranallo theorizes that they are the pages from the Book of Pain.
