Roxanne Perez def. Indi Hartwell
After returning to NXT last week and destroying NXT North American Champion Wes Lee, Dijak took to the ring to face Dante Chen. The brutality of Dijak was evident, as he knocked Chen in and around the ring. A visibly enraged Dijak used devastating moves, including a sit-out chokeslam and forearm strikes to the back of the head. As Chen valiantly tried to fight back, Dijak ended the match with a crushing backbreaker into a knee lift, the same move he stunned Lee with a week earlier. After the match, Dijak promised to deliver justice to any and everyone in the NXT locker room.

Grayson Waller def. Duke Hudson
Trying to prove herself Fallon Henley sent Briggs and Jensen to the back, wanting to defeat Kiana James on her own fair and square. The plan didn’t work early on as James seized control and took Henley down, controlling her on the mat. Henley rallied and used a running neckbreaker and some timely counters to stagger James. As James ran along the outside of the ring, she pulled out her strategically placed briefcase and used it as a distraction to set up the 401K DDT and defeat Henley.
Axiom def. Javier Bernal
Despite the size difference, JD McDonagh swiftly took down Julius Creed and kept him down with his technical wrestling skills. Creed was finally able to power his way out of it, but couldn’t catch the speedy McDonagh. The two men battled until Indus Sher appeared, which seemingly sparked Creed’s offense as he proceeded to hit McDonagh with a power slam and a delayed suplex, all while staring down Indus Sher. While on the outside, McDonagh grabbed a chair and in his attempt to hit Creed, Sanga pushed him out of harm’s way and absorbed the shot. McDonagh was disqualified from the match, and Indus Sher told the Creed Brothers that they wanted them at 100% when they eventually face off.
Von Wagner def. Malik Blade
An attack by Zoey Stark earlier in the night left Nikkita Lyons with an injured knee, but she kept her word and teamed with the NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions Kayden Carter & Katana Chance to take on Toxic Attraction. Action quickly broke down as all six women entered the ring and fought each other with Carter, Chance and Lyons standing tall in the ring with Toxic Attraction knocked to the outside. NXT Women’s Champion Mandy Rose regained the momentum for her team thanks to a distraction from Jacy Jayne in the corner. As the action went on Toxic Attraction seemed to be in full control, but Lyons entered the match and used her power to buoy her team. Rose and Gigi Dolin managed to subdue Carter and Chance on the outside, leaving an injured Lyons to deal with the entirety of Toxic Attraction on her own. A high-low from Dolin & Jayne buckled Lyons’s knee and allowed Dolin to pick up the pinfall for her team, all while Stark looked on from the crowd.
