- Ridge Holland kicks off the show, rubbing in how he beat Andre Chase last week. “I told you so.” He says he’ll be seeing Trick Williams at NXT Deadline and drops the mic for this quick promo.
- Men’s Iron Survivor Challenge Qualifying Match: Ethan Page defeated Axiom by pinfall with a clothesline. After the match, Page and Nathan Frazer shared some words where Page got Frazer tripped up after saying he beat Axiom, who is the anchor of their team, which Frazer took offense to. Wes Lee and Je’Von Evans came out to do the usual “No, I’M going to win, not you” thing. Bronco Nima and Lucien Price then interrupted as well to say that they don’t care about the Iron Survivor Challenge. Instead, they’re there to target Axiom and Frazer for the tag titles. More tag teams come out, another brawl ensues, and the tag team champions jump over the ropes onto everyone.
- In the locker room, Lola Vice was telling Stephanie Vaquer that she had to interfere in her match last week to cost Jaida Parker and make sure Parker didn’t win. Wren Sinclair told Vice that she should’ve just taken the L and moved on, prompting Vice to say she’ll prove to Sinclair that all she’s ever needed to win are her fists, while Parker only won their hardcore match due to using the weapons.
- Backstage, Nikkita Lyons was flirting with Ashante “Thee” Adonis, who said that ship has sailed now that he has something going on with Karmen Petrovic, who comes over to call him out on how he said he never even texted Lyons. Nikkita says there’s no choice between a grown woman like herself and a little girl like Petrovic, and when Ashante wants to reach out to her, he knows how to. Petrovic says “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I’m done.” to Adonis and storms off.
- Lola Vice defeated Wren Sinclair by pinfall. After the match, Vice challenged Parker to an NXT Underground match.
- Backstage, Adriana Rizzo asked Tony D’Angelo where Luca Crusifino and Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo were, and how his knee is. Tony D said it’s all fine and not to worry about it. Also, Shawn Spears and Brooks Jensen hyped themselves up about this upcoming title shot all coming together.
- Tatum Paxley played with her dolls backstage, excited for her title match. Jacy Jayne and Jazmyn Nyx came over to bully her about how she’ll never become a champion. Paxley muttered to herself “your past will haunt you” and dropped an orange-haired doll, which was picked up by someone who we couldn’t see (likely Gigi Dolin)
- NXT North American Championship Match: Tony D’Angelo (c) retained over Shawn Spears by pinfall. Spears, Brooks Jensen, and Niko Vance laid out D’Angelo after the match.
- The tag teams continued brawling in the parking lot, smashing up a car in the process.
- Andre Chase was shown packing up stuff from Chase U. Someone said “Hey, Mr. Chase” and he turned around, but that’s when the video ended.
- Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge Qualifying Match: Giulia defeated Kelani Jordan by pinfall.
- Ava announced that there will be last-chance matches to give the losers of the qualifying matches one more chance to earn the final spots. Also, there will be a battle royal within the tag team division next week to determine who faces Axiom and Nathan Frazer at NXT Deadline. They were upset over how they’ll have to pull double-duty, but Frazer made a point to say he’s qualified, but Axiom hasn’t yet. Tag team members all came over and in the fuss, Eddy Thorpe, pissed that he has to face so many people instead of just getting an easier opportunity, confronted Ava again. She told him not to touch her and at that moment, Bronco Nima pushed Mark Coffey into the door next to Ava, knocking her down onto the floor.
- After the break, Shawn Michaels was checking on Ava and got upset with Thorpe, pushing him into a garage door.
- Trick Williams came out for a promo. Curiously, he said that Ava was going to be okay because “we all know who her Bloodline is.” He spoke about how sad it is that Chase lost last week. When he saw how proud Ridge Holland was to do that, he noticed how different they are, because Trick came into NXT with people who loved it there, like #DIY, Bron Breakker, Ilja Dragunov…even people like Carmelo Hayes, and people like Chase U. Those people built something special and would lay it on the line for NXT. All Ridge knows how to do is destroy things. Trick can’t and won’t let Holland become NXT champion, because if he does, everything they worked so hard to create will die. Holland comes out and says he doesn’t care that wherever he goes, controversy follows him. Suddenly, Eric Bischoff pops up on the TitanTron to say that he’s coming to NXT next week to find what makes them both tick.
- After the commercial break, No Quarter Catch Crew’s Wren Sinclair, Myles Borne, and Tavion Heights were nursing their wounds. Charlie Dempsey informed Sinclair about the announcement that she’ll be in the last chance qualifier.
- It was announced that X-Pac will also be on NXT next week.
- NXT Women’s North American Championship Match: Fallon Henley (c) defeated Tatum Paxley by pinfall to retain her title. Fatal Influence kept beating down Paxley after the match, but Gigi Dolin returned to make the save and help Paxley fight them off to end the show.
