Hank and Tank kicked off the match against Tyriek Igwe and Tyson Dupont. Tyson got a big clothesline on Tank early on and isolated him, but he managed to make the tag to Hank, who came in with some big double-team moves and hit the assisted powerslam for the first pin in the match!

The Culling was out next, and Jensen was in the ring with Hank as the match continued. Vance and Brooks took atomic drops before Walker countered a neckbreaker and got a backslide on Jensen.

Tank got some big strikes before getting the cartwheel lariat, and then Niko accidentally sent him into Jensen, leading to Hank and Tank getting the second pin!

Grade: A

The D'Angelo Family was in the parking lot with some hired goons, but Tony wasn't there. The group realized that Stacks had set this fight up without letting Tony know, as DarkState showed up, and a huge brawl began.

The teams headed backstage, tossed trash cans at each other and hit each other with chairs before the D'Angelo boys put some of them through a table and a wall. DarkState sprayed Stacks with a fire extinguisher and put him into a wall before powerbombing Luca into the hood of a car.

Tony showed up with a crowbar and beat DarkState till they retreated before yelling at Stacks for taking matters into his own hands. Tony said he would settle the matter in the ring, and Corey Graves commented that he had had problems with his bosses, meaning WWE management, comparing it to Stacks' situation with Tony D.

We got footage from Stephanie Vaquer's visit to her home country of Chile before NXT moved on.

Hank and Tank were backstage and said that they were ready to go to Stand & Deliver to win the tag team titles. Fraxiom came out to congratulate them, but only Axiom shook hands with them.

Roxanne Perez was backstage with Ava, and she still didn't have a tag partner for the Fatal Four-Way Tag match that was set up earlier. Roxanne demanded that she be her own tag partner, and Ava said it wasn't possible before Cora Jade walked in with a grin.

Andre Chase was debating whether to coach Uriah Connors and Kale Dixon before Thea Hail made her big return to compete in the North American Championship ladder match qualifier.

WWE NXT Results: Thea Hail vs. Karmen Petrovic

Thea made her in-ring return after many days, with her last appearance being Night One of the Great American Bash. We got some quick offense early on, and the two traded pins before Petrovic grounded Hail on the mat and rained strikes down on her.

Thea Hail came back with a senton and a big slam, locking in the Kimura lock before Karmen tapped out.

Result: Thea Hail def. Karmen Petrovic

Grade: B

Trick Williams came out next and said that he was coming for his crown and wished Je'Von Evans better luck for next year. Oba Femi came out and said that Trick pretending to be the biggest star was getting embarrassing.

Femi said that the spotlight was moving on, and this was Trick's last time in the NXT Title picture.

Je'Von Evans came out and told Trick to shut up. Evans said that everyone was tired of Trick lamenting his lost titles. He said he had already proven that he could drop the champ and taunted Oba, saying he was the fan favorite. Oba said that having the NXT Title meant he was the top dog and called Evans a child.

Trick and Oba teamed up and sent Evans out of the ring twice, but he came back a third time and took them both out with a springboard double stunner/RKO.

Evans held up the title as the show went off the air.
