Perez attacked Davenport during her entrance, and they brawled their way to the ring before the match started. Roxanne was in control early on and sent Blair outside before getting multiple diving crossbodies.
Davenport sent Perez into the steel steps outside before kicking her head against it. Blair headed back in, hoping to get the ten count, but Perez managed to beat it. Back in the ring, Roxanne took the Falcon Arrow, followed by the double knees to the head, before succumbing to a pinfall defeat.

We got a promo from Baron Corbin where he threw his old gear in the fire and said that he was done with silly gimmicks.
"It's no more gimmicks, no nonsense, no bull----."
@BaronCorbinWWE is ready to let go of the past to dictate his future...

Oh my 😳😳😳

Backstage, Joe Gacy claimed that he wasn't putting his teammates in jeopardy by issuing a 'loser leaves NXT' challenge. He was certain that the Dyad would win and the Creed Brothers would leave NXT.
Tatum Paxley vs. Kelani Jordan on NXT
Paxley took control of the match after Kelani got some early kicks in. Paxley hit a backbreaker before locking her in a submission hold.
Jordan got a big counter and hit what looked like it was somewhere between an inverted jawbreaker and a stunner before getting the win.
From out of nowhere 😳
@kelani_wwe pulls out an impressive win in her NXT debut!

Andre Chase was back and thanked Duke Hudson for being a great substitute. He then commented how Thea Hail should have won the Women's Title if Gulak and Dempsey hadn't interfered. Chase and Hudson said that they were going to give them a 'Chase U-sized a** whooping' soon.
Screaming, chaos, bleeps.
#ChaseU is so back 🙌

The ropes were removed from the ring, and we had a crowd around the ring as the match kicked off. Damon got a big takedown and a big toss before locking in a hold.
Thorpe managed to roll over to the outside to break the hold before they got into the crowd. Kemp shoved another superstar into Thorpe to distract him before sending him into and then over the barricades.

Stacks went to visit Tony D'Angelo, and Joe Coffey showed up as well. They said that Coffey and Stacks will have a match next week, and if Stacks wins, Tony will be set free. But if Stacks loses, Tony stays locked up for a really long time.
WOW.
Did @Channing_WWE make the right decision? And who can @TonyDangeloWWE trust? 😬😬😬

Noam Dar was talking to a picture of the Heritage Cup backstage, and it looked like he was going crazy.
Kiana James' office was trashed by Gigi Dolin as revenge for last week, and she left her a threatening note.
During the promos, Javier Bernal managed to anger Von Wagner who tossed him around at ringside and, despite Mr. Stone stopping him twice, Wagner powerbombed Bernal through the announce desk.
That's how you put a bully in his place, @WWEVonWagner 👏👏👏

The two teams started brawling before the bell, and once the match was started, the Dyad was tossed out of the ring by the Creeds. Gacy was trying to interfere but was sent backstage by the referee early on.
Back on NXT after a break, Julius sent the Dyad back outside and hit sliding kicks and then a big dive. The Creed Brother got the Fireman's Carry/High Knee combo on Fowler before Reid broke up the pin.
Julius hurt his knee, and when the Dyad realized, they sent him knee-first into the steel steps. Back in the ring, Brutus got a near fall of a big dive before Julius tagged in for the double team, but Fowler broke it up.
Ava Raine ran in to interfere, but Ivy went after her. A person in a red hoodie and mask walked up to Julius and headbutted him before the Dyad got their finisher on him and picked up the win.
Result: The Dyad def. The Creed Brothers
WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!

Finn Balor accepted the invitation from Trick and Melo, saying that The Judgment Day will be there next week on NXT.
BREAKING: @FinnBalor just accepted @Carmelo_WWE and @_trickwilliams' invite. The ENTIRE Judgment Day will be at #WWENXT NEXT WEEK 🤯 https://t.co/t6ygkgLvkA
Bron Breakker was out next and said that he was extremely close to winning the World Heavyweight Title so early in his career. He asked what was next for him when Ilja Dragunov showed up to challenge him to a match.
Ilja said that the only thing standing between him and the NXT Title was Bron before kicking him in the face. A brawl broke out, and officials got involved before Dragunov took them out and sent Bron over the ropes, and chased him down outside.
THIS IS ABSOLUTE CHAOS!!!
@UNBESIEGBAR_ZAR and @bronbreakkerwwe just tried to DESTROY each other!
#WWENXT https://t.co/fcg9079Uzg
The officials and the rest of the locker tried desperately to break up the fight as NXT went off the air.
