A-Town Down Under was next for The Grayson Waller Effect, and the duo called out Oba Femi as their guest. Theory and Waller talked up Oba's in-ring capability but added that they didn't think the hype was real.

Theory made fun of Oba as the crowd started chanting, "Turn on Waller." Oba said that Waller and Theory were all talk and, unlike the NXT Champ, didn't have the titles to support their claims.

Oba offered the duo a title match, but Ava came out to tell him he couldn't do that. Trick Williams was watching from backstage and made his entrance before getting in Oba's face.

Williams took out A-Town Down Under before Oba hit him with the powerbomb. As NXT moved on, Trick was down, and Oba stood over him with the title.

Izzi Dame was interviewed at the ringside and said nothing was happening between her and the D'Angelo Family. She only helped Tony last week to get back at Shawn Spears.

Ridge Holland called her a liar before Stacks came out to defend Izzi. Holland called Stacks The Don's lackey, and they almost started a brawl before we headed for the next match.

WWE NXT Results: Trick Williams vs. Wes Lee

Williams could barely stand as the match started and Lee took advantage by unloading on him early. Lee dropped Trick on the announce desk and hit a Meteora off the apron on top of it!

Back in the ring, Trick fought out of a submission hold and got some big hip tosses before hitting a massive uranage. Trick was ready for the finisher, but Tyson and Tyriek dragged Lee out of the way.

Williams took them all out before tossing Lee over Tyson and hitting a big dive on them. Back in the ring, Trick was still fighting all three superstars and shoved the ref down after he tried to interfere. The ref called the match, and Lee got the win off the DQ.

Result: Wes Lee def. Trick Williams via DQ

Ava told Oba backstage that at Vengeance Day, he would face both members of A-Town Down Under.

Ava then found Trick and told him about the match as well. Williams said Waller and Theory didn't deserve it, but she told him he could prove he deserved it more by facing A-Town Down Under in a tag match—with Oba as his teammate.

WWE NXT Results: Fallon Henley (c) vs. Shotzi - Women's North American Championship match

Shotzi got a big rana off the top rope before Fatal Influence dragged the champ outside. Shotzi hit a big dive on all of them before Dolin and Tatum attacked Fatal Influence, chasing them backstage.

At ringside, Henley drove Shotzi's knee into the ringpost and hit a chop block as the match continued. Back in the ring, Shotzi got some strikes in and hit a big slam in the corner.

Henley kicked out of a top rope senton before coming back with a big suplex and a toss. Fallon got the leg drop to the back of the neck and picked up the win.

As Henley was walking out, Stephanie Vaquer came out and got in her face as we learned that she would face Fallon for the Women's North American Title at Vengeance Day.

Ava was about to announce Giulia's title opponent for Vengeance Day when Roxanne and Cora showed up. Ava told them Giulia would face Bayley and Roxanne for the title, and Perez seemed happy with the decision. However, Cora ran off angrily, having been excluded from the match.

Cedric unloaded on Page immediately, but Ethan managed to turn it around and attacked the injured hand. Page dropped Cedric on the apron and ripped off his wrist brace before smashing his hand on the ring post.

After a break, we saw Cora Jade walking up to Ava, still angry about what happened earlier.

Back to the match, Jackson was tagged in and took a vertical suplex before Belair deadlifted her into a slam and hit the moonsault for a near fall. Jackson hit a dive to the outside before Legend got a near-fall on Naomi in the ring.

Naomi returned with the X-Factor before trading rollups with Jackson in the ring. Bianca came back off the tag, and the champs hit their combined finisher on Jakara for the win.
