There was a Triple Threat tag match on the show that saw Edris Enofe and Malik Blade become number one contenders to Pretty Deadly’s NXT Tag Titles. Enofe and Blade secured the win when Cameron Grimes took out Joe Gacy on the outside and pulled Rip Fowler out of the ring which led to Jagger Reid being rolled up for a pin.
Post-match, Gacy called out Grimes and said he must face The Schism in a three-on-one match. Grimes responded by hinting that he may be bringing talents from either Raw or SmackDown to even the odds.
Sonya Deville appeared on NXT and helped Toxic Attraction’s Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne take out Alba Fyre, who is next in line to challenge Mandy Rose for the NXT Women’s Title. Deville is scheduled for next week’s NXT and she’ll be taking on Fyre one-on-one.

This show was Booker T’s first night as a commentator for NXT. While calling the match between Grayson Waller and Ilja Dragunov, Waller did a high leg kick similar to the one Booker T did. He then acted as if he was going for a ‘spinaroonie’ but gave the ‘suck it’ gesture to Booker.
Valentina Feroz asked Sanga to be in her corner for her match against Indi Hartwell. Sanga was there but he was approached by Veer who whispered something into his ear. Sanga left ringside trailing behind Veer.
