For the first time since November, Wes Lee was back in action. The show started with a video package which documented his recovery from back surgery. He scored a win over Josh Briggs. Post-match, Briggs brawled with Ivar who was on commentary and Wes proceeded to dive onto them. North American Champion Oba Femi watched it unfold.
Former WWE talent Gabbi Tuft was in attendance.
There was a tag match that saw Tyson Dupont and Tyriek Igwe versus No Quarter Catch Crew (Charlie Dempsey & Myles Borne). The referee was ‘unavailable’, so doing the honors as guest referee was The Family’s Channing ‘Stacks’ Lorenzo. He slow counted Dempsey and in response, Dempsey shoved him so Stacks struck Dempsey and then fast counted him to secure Tyson and Tyriek’s first win on NXT TV. Dempsey granted Tony D’Angelo a Heritage Cup match on 5/14. At the conclusion of the show, The Family (Tony D’Angelo, Channing ‘Stacks’ Lorenzo, Luca Crusifino & Adriana Rizzo) kidnapped Damon Kemp and Borne. Dempsey came outside as the truck was pulling off.

Scheduled for 5/14 is a singles match between Noam Dar and Je’Von Evans.
