There was a backstage segment involving Duke Hudson and Persia Pirotta. The two kissed and when Pirotta’s partner Indi Hartwell walked in, she walked away in a joking manner. Duke then told Indi that she used to enjoy when they kissed to which Hartwell responded that it was a long time ago. Dexter Lumis overheard their conversation.
The opening match on the 2/22 NXT was Grayson Waller versus L.A. Knight. Waller used the tights to secure the win but post-match, Knight took out both Waller and his bodyguard Sanga.
