Diamond Mine (Ivy Nile, Julius & Brutus Creed) interrupted The Schism’s segment in which the group were hashing out ongoing tension between them. Julius brought up that Jagger Reid and Rip Fowler do not want to be ‘here’, referencing the two talents going public with sharing that WWE denied their release requests. This led to Joe Gacy agreeing on Fowler and Reid’s behalf for them to take on The Creed Brothers on 7/4 in a Loser Leaves NXT match.

There was an NXT Tag Team Title match and Gallus (Mark Coffey & Wolfgang) retained over Edris Enofe and Malik Blade. Channing ‘Stacks’ Lorenzo appeared during the match and attempted to tackle Coffey, but he ended up connecting with Enofe. ‘Stacks’ still threw Enofe into the ring to be pinned by Gallus.
Later in the show, Joe Coffey visited Tony D’Angelo in prison and played him audio of Stacks saying there’s a ‘new don’ in town and he’s done being the underboss.
