Closing out tonight’s installment of NXT was a six-person tag match that saw Legado Del Fantasma (Santos Escobar, Joaquin Wilde & Raul Mendoza) take on Hit Row (Isaiah ‘Swerve’ Scott, Ashante Thee Adonis & Top Dolla). The conclusion of the match saw B-FAB ambush Escobar on the outside of the ring while the referee was not looking. Coming from behind B-FAB was Elektra Lopez, who hit the Hit Row member across the stomach with a pole and soon after, Escobar had the North American Champion rolled up for the three count.
