Sami Zayn hits the ramp and takes in a warm welcome. He talks about how Kevin Owens betrayed him and the fans start chanting, "Kick his ass! Kick his ass!" Sami says he plans to do just that. He exits the ring, the announce team runs down some of tonight's coming attractions and then Rhino comes out.
Rhino vs. Unnamed Opponent
WWE doesn't like to give too much press to jobbers, so we'll call this guy "Unnamed Opponent." Now that the introductions are over, let's discuss all of the in-ring action: Rhino wins with a gore. The end.Result: Rhino defeats Unnamed Opponent via pinfall.
After the match, Rhino takes the mic and says he's coming after everyone in NXT.Commercials roll and then we get a review of the Finn Balor/Kevin Owens match. There's also a backstage promo from Owens in which he says that the fact that he won the match is the only thing that's important. Bayley vs. EmmaAfter the bell, Emma makes it seem like this is a good-natured match but Bayley is still peeved that the saucy Aussie slapped her. They lock up briefly, break and then go at it again. Bayley gets Emma around the waist but Emma works it into a grappling situation. Bayley gets fired up and takes Emma down off the ropes. They go at it some more and Bayley rolls her up for a near fall. When Emma gets out, she levels Bayley with a clothesline. Emma talks some smack and it seems like she's trying to get her opponent worked up. She stays on top of bayley who tires to fire back, ultimately getting some momentum. Emma dodges a big hit and applies the Emma Lock, followed by an Emmamite Sandwich. Bayley kicks out of the ensuing pinfall and rolls up Emma quickly for the win. Awkwardness follows the bell as the ladies kinda, sorta make nice. But not really.Backstage, Becky Lynch says she's ready for action. Then some more commercials for the WWE Network by the WWE Network. By coincidence, WWE NXT also airs on the WWE Network. Lucha Dragons vs. Blake and Murphy Kalisto starts out against Blake. The height differential is a nonissue because Kalisto can jump really, really high. Kalisto dumps Blake outside and Sin Cara goes after him with a dive. Blake comes over to help and Kalisto takes them both out. Sin Cara is now legal and he stays in against Blake for a bit and then Kalisto comes back in. They hit the mat for some grappling and Blake stays on top of things for a decent stretch. He eventually brings Murphy in and Kalisto remains on the receiving end of things for a while. Once Sin Cara makes it in, he gets busy pretty quickly but can't put Murphy down for anything more than a near fall. Some double-teaming finally puts the luchador down for the count.Result: Blake and Murphy defeat Lucha Dragons.
Backstage, Sami Zayn gets ready to speak a bit on his title aspirations and he's interrupted by Rhino who doesn't care one bit.
