Kushida and Nash Carter kicked off the match and Wes Lee got the tag early on with MSK in control but Kushida came in with a big dropkick before tagging Ikemen Jiro in. Jacket Time tried for a double team before MSK caught Jiro with some double team moves of their own.
Carter hit Jiro with a stunner on the ropes before Lee came in and we headed for a break. Back in the match, Jiro took a German Suplex and a standing shooting star press before Kushida tagged in for a double team move but Carter broke up the pin.
Kushida countered the Hoverboard lock from Carter before MSK picked up the win with a Blockbuster/Hart Attack combo.
Result: MSK def. Jacket Time
You love to see it.

Santos Escobar was out next with the Legado del Fantasma and called out Bron Breakker for taking shortcuts to becoming the NXT Champion because of his family. Breakker came out and said that Escobar was insecure and said that he was ready to accept the challenge.

Santos Escobar said that Bron Breakker would know when he was ready before walking out and the Legado went after Breakker in the ring. The champion wiped them out and taunted Escobar from the ring as the show continued.
