Ilja Dragunov was on his way to the meeting with Tony D'Angelo when he noticed his car was disabled. Two of Tony's goons drove in and told Ilja to get in the car. The NXT champ refused initially, but the goons let him know he had no choice before they drove off together.

Jacy Jayne vs. Fallon Henley on WWE NXT

Henley was in control early on, but a distraction from Kiana led Jayne to send her outside the ring. Jayne got a big kick at ringside before Thea Hail and Kelani Jordan got into a yelling match.

Backstage after the match, Jayne said that she was never Thea Hail's friend and that she only helped Chase U to get back into the spotlight.

Wagner started strong and got an early takedown before tossing King outside and into the barricades. Back in the ring, King got a few chops and a big neckbreaker for a near fall before locking in a submission hold.

Dragunov and Tony's goons showed up at the secret meeting, which was held in a warehouse. There, people with crowbars and other dangerous tools were waiting for him.

D'Angelo, Stack, and Rizzo also showed up, and we were left wondering what happened next.

We got Supernova Sessions with Meta-Four, and Roxanne Perez was the first guest, followed by Lyra Valkyria.

Valkyria reminded Perez that losing the title was her failure and that she needed to stop blaming everyone else.

Perez replied that she would knock Lyra off her high horse and said losing the title made her more dangerous. The champ got up and said that while she wins, all Perez does is "b*tch."

Perez got in her face and said that she had a whole year of rage built up before attacking the champ. Lyra hit her with a big kick, putting her through a table in the ring.

Joe Gacy vs. Oba Femi on WWE NXT

Joe Gacy was on his way out to face Oba Femi, but Shawn Spears came in and attacked him from behind with a steel chair. Femi walked up and dragged Gacy to the ring before the match started.

Gacy took a massive backbreaker early on, and the champ tossed him around the ring for a bit. The referee eventually had to stop the match because Gacy could not get back to his feet.

Result: D.N.F

Grade: C

We were back to Dragunov and D'Angelo's meeting and the Don said this signified the end of Ilja's title run. Dragunov affirmed he was unbreakable and that nothing would stop him from leaving on Saturday as the champion.

Tony smashed the champ's injured hand and said he would do the unthinkable and break Ilja, taking the NXT Title away.

Sol Ruca vs. Blair Davenport on WWE NXT

Ruca lifted Davenport for a big slam before the match went outside, and Blair sent Sol knee-first into the steel steps.

Ava was backstage when Joe Gacy rolled in to ask her to book a match between him and Shawn Spears.

Carmelo Hayes was out with his security team, followed by Trick Williams, who was alone. Trick said it wasn't supposed to be like this, but he noticed that it would be the first all-black main event in a big WWE PLE.

The two reminisced about how great their alliance was, but Melo blamed Trick for "ruining everything for everybody." Trick said that Melo ruined everything before the latter made an analogy, saying that Williams going after the NXT Title was like him going after his girlfriend.

Trick said he was on his way up, and Melo should have brought it up if he didn't want him to go after the NXT Title. Melo made excuses and said that Trick should have stayed humble.

Melo said that Trick might be on top, but soon, the crowd will turn on him, too. Trick noted that Melo was jealous of him, and the two had a final stare-down before a brawl broke out.

The security guys and officials got involved, followed by most of the roster, as NXT went off the air.
