  • ZARIA came to the ring for a promo about how the path is now clear for her to get the NXT Women’s North American Championship. Tatum Paxley interrupted, followed by Lizzy Rain, then Nikkita Lyons. They all started to fight, with ZARIA coming out on top.
  • Romeo Moreno spoke with The Vanity Project backstage. They were making fun of him when Noam Dar came over to them to say that he’s back and to challenge Jackson Drake to a match for next week.
  • Kam Hendrix attacked Tony D’Angelo backstage before the commercial break. After coming back, Robert Stone made the call to wait on D’Angelo vs. Heights and to move up the mixed tag team match to right now instead.
  • Mixed Tag Team Match: The Culling’s Izzi Dame and Niko Vance defeated Lola Vice & Mr. Iguana by pinfall. Dame scored the pin over Vice.
  • Myles Borne tried to tell Tavion Heights that it could be a good thing that Hendrix attacked D’Angelo, as he has more time to prepare. Heights was upset, but was then told by Robert Stone that the match is still on. Stone also told Zaria that next week, she’ll team with Nikkita Lyons against Lizzy Rain and Tatum Paxley. Zaria was upset about it and Stone said if she wants a title opportunity, she’ll do the tag team match.
  • Jaida Parker was throwing a fit backstage in anger after her loss when Nattie came over to her to say “I guess what they’ve been saying about Miss Parker is true. You’ve gone soft.”
  • DarkState (Cutler James & Osiris Griffin) defeated Hank Walker & Tank Ledger by pinfall.
  • Kelani Jordan talked trash to Lola Vice about her loss and how she is the only person to make Vice tap out, Vice should be worried about her. Kendal Grey approached them both and Jordan asked her to pick between friendship and the title.
  • Emily Agard, a new correspondent in NXT, approached Keanu Carver for an interview. Carver didn’t want the camera in his face, but she was able to interview him with the camera on the ground. Carver is motivated by money. That’s why he’s there. He’s not here to do fancy tricks to get popular online. He apparently told Shawn Michaels to give him a chance or get cut from the roster. If wrestling doesn’t work to feed his family, he’ll have to figure out something else. It doesn’t matter where he is, as he’s always going to just be himself in any situation. Emily asks how he knew about the symbol of war. Carver said that he went to college and what people don’t know is that he’s smart.
  • Tony D’Angelo defeated Tavion Heights by pinfall. Kam Hendrix had come out during the match and was taken out by Myles Borne. D’Angelo was about to help Heights up out of respect when Will Kroos (now named Mason Rook) went on the attack, taking out both of them to say that he arrived in NXT.
