  • Lizzy Rain and Tatum Paxley defeated Nikkita Lyons and Zaria by pinfall with Rain scoring the pin.
  • In the women’s locker room, Wren Sinclair (with some crutches) said she shouldn’t be ringside for Kendal Grey’s match as she’ll be a distraction, but Grey disagreed. Lola Vice approached them both to say essentially that she hopes to face Grey at some point, while Grey was trying to intimidate Vice that she’ll be coming for the NXT Women’s Championship.
  • Naraku defeated Lince Dorado
  • Sean Legacy, EK Prosper, and Tate Wilder hyped each other up in the locker room ahead of their six-man tag team match, with Legacy offering some advice to Wilder about how he should always pick his spot. Wilder wants to bring out his wild side. Dorian Van Dux needs one more week until he can come back from injury as well.
  • Jaida Parker interrupted Nattie trying to film something for LFG, wanting to hash out their issues based on Nattie saying last week that she’s soft, but Nattie blew her off.
  • Six-Man Tag Team Match: BirthRight (Charlie Dempsey, Stacks, and Uriah Connors) defeated Sean Legacy, EK Prosper and Tate Wilder by pinfall.
  • Backstage, Tatum Paxley wants to give first dibs for a title shot to Lizzy Rain for next week. Shiloh Hill congratulated them on their tag team victory and said he’s been doing some research on Tristan Angels, who Lizzy Rain apparently can’t escape and knows from before. Paxley wonders who would be Mr. NXT if they had one. Hill thinks it would be himself. Angels then approaches to complain that Hill can’t outclass him and next week, he’ll have his in-ring debut, planning to show that he’s in a class of his own.
  • Vignette: The Culling is always stronger together, according to Shawn Spears, but Izzi Dame seemed to wince at that as Niko Vance in particular glazed her as being the most cunning of them. Dame said they’re always two steps ahead and when Spears and Vance got up to leave, Dame asked Vance to stay behind. Spears “left them to it” and Dame said she wants to be watching Lola Vice tonight.
  • Robert Stone presented Mason Rook with his NXT contract. Rook spoke about how great he is and how if you try to stand up to a tank, you get run over. Tony D’Angelo interrupted and started to say about how he understands Rook going after him the first time, but he’s not going to make a name for himself at D’Angelo’s expense. Kam Hendrix then attacked D’Angelo from behind and Rook jumped to the outside to take them both out and signed his contract.
  • Romeo Moreno gushed over Noam Dar’s accolades. Dar said since it’s been a year since he’s been in the ring, he’s not sure if he’s that guy anymore and he needs to focus.
  • Emily Agard interviewed OTM as they had a small cookout and told her more about themselves.
  • Jackson Drake defeated Noam Dar by pinfall. DarkState came to the ring before the commercial break.
  • Myles Borne and Tavion Heights talked about how Borne has a tag team match next week against Kam Hendrix and Mason Rook. Heights assumed he was Borne’s partner, but Borne is actually teaming with Tony D’Angelo. Heights got upset that Borne thinks he’s better than him because he’s a champion, like Tony D.
  • For some reason, WWE had to put that segment in there and then come back to DarkState in the ring and The Vanity Project in the entrance area for a promo with DarkState talking about how Osiris Griffin and Cutler James beating The Belly Boys means they should get a rematch for the tag team titles. Mr. Stone already approved it for next week, but it will actually be Dion Lennox and Saquon Shugars, as James and Griffin want DarkState to get back on track as a united front—meaning two segments in a row about how a tag team match for next week isn’t the team you’d assume because there are issues with former friends. The Vanity Project then went on the attack and were taken out and forced to retreat.
  • Time for the quick onslaught of Robert Stone talking to multiple people backstage to remind everyone about stuff for next week one after another, leading to also Keanu Carver and Tate Wilder booked for next Tuesday.
  • Kali Armstrong told Blake Howard that she’s going to run through the NXT locker room just like she did on EVOLVE. Kendal Grey came up to her to say “you didn’t run through everybody“, because she had beaten her for the EVOLVE Women’s Championship, and then headed out for her match.
  • Kelani Jordan defeated Kendal Grey by pinfall. Izzi Dame had jumped Lola Vice backstage and they brawled into the ringside area, knocking down Wren Sinclair, which was enough of a distraction for Grey to lose her focus and allow Jordan to capitalize. Grey argued with Vice for a bit and that distraction was enough for Dame to take Vice out with a big boot, ending the show posing with the NXT Women’s Championship belt in her hands.
