Melo and Trick fled the ring without the title belt and Lumis and Gargano stood in the ring, taunting them to come take it as we headed for commercials.
Odyssey Jones vs. Andre Chase on NXT 2.0
Nice to see @AndreChaseWWE's class show up tonight on #WWENXT 2.0!
Thought he didn't have any class... 馃槵 https://t.co/PU7AaHGaNg
Prof. Chase was back again in his sweater to face Odyssey in the first match of the night. Jones tossed Chase around the ring as the match began but Andre managed to get some kicks in.
Not quite, @AndreChaseWWE...

Chase went for a tackle but bounced off the big guy before Jones knocked him about some more and hit a huge powerslam. Jones hit a running splash and picked up the win.
Result: Odyssey Jones def. Andre Chase
You can't teach this strength, @AndreChaseWWE.

The Creed Brothers vs. Imperium on NXT 2.0
HERE WE GO!
IMPERIUM takes on @JuliusCreedWWE & @BrutusCreedwwe in #WWENXT 2.0 tag team action. https://t.co/lRj9NJ1Eq7
Brutus and Aichner kicked off the match and Julius was tagged in early on with Imperium in control. Barthel hit a big suplex after tagging in before Roderick Strong ran interference from the outside, letting the Creed Brothers take control of the match.
Aichner got the tag and deadlifted Brutus for a rolling senton. Julius Creed tagged in and took a big move from Barthel before Ikemen Jiro and Kushida came out to attack Diamond Mine at ringside. Imperium took advantage of the distraction and Barthel picked up the win. This ended The Creed Brothers' winning streak on NXT 2.0
Result: Imperium def. The Creed Brothers
