- Backstage: Elio LeFleur, Tavion Heights, and Eli Knight were looking on the bright side of their losses when Lexis King, Stacks, and Arianna Grace interrupted them to pick a fight, with King saying that Heights has squandered all of his opportunities and that Grace and himself have a birthright to NXT (Grace being the daughter of Santino Marella, King being Brian Pillman Jr.) which started to turn into a fight before going to a commercial break.
- The Elegance Brand from TNA had a promo segment trashing ZaRuca.
- In the locker room, Zaria was trying to get in touch with Sol Ruca, who wasn’t picking up her phone. Thea Hail asked what’s up and started to talk about her North American title situation, leading to Zaria saying Hail had stumbled into a title and the two of them arguing to set up something for later.
- Also backstage, Ethan Page was getting into the head of Myles Borne, trying to tell him to finally be ruthless. Ricky Saints also approached and said he’d be ringside. Borne threatened to drop him if he sees him out there.
- The Vanity Project asked Ava how Joe Hendry is doing and she said he isn’t cleared. Since she can’t technically prove that they attacked Hendry, Jackson Drake is in the ladder match. However, if Hendry does get cleared, he’s also going to be in the ladder match, implying this has now turned into a seven person affair, potentially.
- NXT Championship Ladder Match Qualifier: Dion Lennox defeated Myles Borne by pinfall due in part to a series of distractions, including Ethan Page putting the North American title in there for Borne to use, and the referee thinking Borne was going to hit Lennox with it. Borne hit Page with the belt instead afterward.
- According to a backstage segment, Ava bailed Tony D’Angelo out of prison because she thinks NXT needs a guy like him who isn’t just out for himself like the Ricky Saints types. D’Angelo is going to let everyone know his intentions next week, and Ava warned him not to interfere in the ladder match.
- Backstage, Uriah Connors was explaining to Andre Chase that he was out in the brawl earlier because he was trying to take an opportunity instead of just sitting around. Lexis King got in his ears to say his father (Fit Finlay) would be proud of him.
- Lexis King defeated Tavion Heights by pinfall.
- Thea Hail defeated Zaria by pinfall, which came about with a roll-up as Zaria was distracted by Tatum Paxley attacking Izzi Dame. After the match, Hail offered a sportsmanship handshake to Zaria, who slapped her hand in response. Lainey Reid and Fallon Henley then came out. Hail told Zaria she had her back for this fight, but Zaria gave her finisher to Hail out of anger. Reid and Henley decided to back away.
- NXT Championship Ladder Match Qualifier: Keanu Carver defeated Andre Chase by pinfall. Carver continued to beat down on Chase after the match.
- Promo: Shiloh Hill pointed out how a ladder match is perfect for him, as it combines brutality with intelligence. Lennox thinks DarkState proves that he’s going to win. Legacy has nothing to lose and everything to gain in the biggest opportunity he’s ever had. Drake didn’t even have to break a sweat to get into the match and will become the youngest champion. Saints brought out a ladder, and everything turned into a brawl as these always do. Hendry came out for the fight, but it was ultimately Carver who stood tall among them.
