On next week’s NXT, Ciampa will go one-on-one with Joe Gacy and if Gacy wins, he’ll be added to the title match at Halloween Havoc.

MSK (Nash Carter & Wes Lee) successfully retained the titles by besting Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen last. Grizzled Young Veterans (Zack Gibson & James Drake) and Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams were eliminated earlier in the match. As MSK were celebrating their win, they were ambushed by Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel.
