To kick off NXT, Samoa Joe came down to the ring and called out NXT Champion Karrion Kross. William Regal alerted Joe that he should not be taking matters into his own hands following Kross choking out Joe on last week’s show. Throughout the night, Regal reiterated to Joe to not put his hands on Kross. The conclusion of NXT saw Joe hit the ring again to call out Kross. The NXT Champion appeared on the video board alongside a beaten down William Regal.

The final match on the 7/20 NXT was Raquel Gonzalez defending the NXT Women’s Championship against Xia Li. There was a point towards the end of the match when Xia was hurt and had to be checked on by the ringside medical staff. Once they cleared Xia to go, Raquel immediately hit her finisher and the match was over.
