Dark
1. Braun Stowman over Dash Wilder. Stowman was the large gladiator from the early days of Adam Rose's Rosebuds.
May 27 show
The show opened with Sami Zayn's music, but Kevin Owens came out instead. He was wearing a John Cena shirt and said he was thinking about doing an NXT Championship open challenge, but then he realized he's not insecure and he's only going to defend his title against people who earn it. He said he'll do to everyone who threatens his title reign what he did to Sami Zayn because they're threatening his livelihood and his ability to provide for his family. Owens said he let Samoa Joe have his moment because Joe is a nice guy and Owens wanted to give the fans a nice moment after what he did to Zayn. He said if Joe gets in the ring with him again, he's going to drop Joe. He said at Elimination Chamber he's going to drop Cena and prove that the real champ is here.
William Regal came out and listed off the guys who Owens had taken out of NXT. Owens denied Itami, but accepted Riley, Neville, and Zayn. Solomon Crowe came out and said he was sick of listening to this crap. Crowe said Owens was a scared piece of crap, so Owens said that Crowe earned himself an opportunity with that, so the main event of the show would be Kevin Owens vs. Solomon Crowe (non-title).
1. Emma over Bayley. Dana Brooke was in Emma's corner and the two heels beat Bayley down post-match. Charlotte ran out to make the save, but she was outnumbered and laid out as well.
2. NXT Tag Team Champions Blake and Murphy (w/ Alexa Bliss) squashed an enhancement team in a non-title match.
3. Finn Bálor beat Tye Dillinger.
4. NXT Champion Kevin Owens defeated Solomon Crowe in a non-title match. Samoa Joe came out post-match to confront Owens, but of course Owens took off.
June 3 show
1. Tyler Breeze over Adam Rose.
Eva Marie came out for a promo. She was booed very loudly, to the point that it was difficult to understand what she was saying. Basically she said she wants to start competing with the best in NXT.
2. Alexa Bliss beat Carmella. Bliss got a cheap win while holding the ropes.
3. The Vaudevillains def. Jason Jordan and Marcus Louis.
4. Finn Bálor defeated Rhyno. Post-match, Rhyno Gored Bálor on the stage.
June 10 show
1. Zack Ryder and Mojo Rawley beat an enhancement team.
2. Emma over Blue Pants (a/k/a Leva Bates). Afterwards, Rich Brennan came out and led the crowd in singing Happy Birthday to Blue Pants. That part likely will not air.
3. Tyler Breeze pinned Bull Dempsey. Dempsey's new gimmick is that he has bad cardio because he's fat, so he kept getting tired trying to chase down Breeze. The fat crowd chanted "cardio" at Bull.
4. Becky Lynch def. Jessie McKay. McKay was introduced simply as "Jessie."
5. Baron Corbin squashed Angelo Dawkins.
6. Samoa Joe beat Scott Dawson. Joe won with the Muscle Buster. Kevin Owens was on commentary. Afterwards, Joe grabbed a mic and said that Kevin Owens promised to drop him, but as he recalls Owens ran away. Joe called Owens out and said that it's the fight everyone wants to see. Owens responded and said that Joe is an NXT rookie and can't just walk in and get a title shot that he hasn't earned yet. William Regal came out and said that indeed Joe hadn't earned a title shot, but he had earned himself a fight so next week would feature Samoa Joe vs. Kevin Owens in a non-title match.
June 17 episode
1. Enzo Amore, Colin Cassady, and Carmella beat Blake, Murphy, and Alexa Bliss.
2. The Vaudevillains over Jason Jordan and Mikaze. Mikaze is a gear-maker and also a worker. Unfortunately, Mikaze took an errant kick from Aiden English and appeared to be legitimately knocked out. They brought a stretcher down for him, but he was able to walk out on his own. Seems safe to assume he's pretty badly concussed.
3. Charlotte defeated KC Cassidy. Cassidy was not introduced so it appears she remains unnamed.
4. Samoa Joe fought NXT Champion Kevin Owens to a double-DQ in a non-title match. The two brawled all over the place and up the ramp. The brawl was broken up temporarily, but Owens called Joe a bitch so Joe broke free and they continued to brawl. Wrestlers came out to try and separate the two while they tried to get at each other. The show closed with the brawl and William Regal looking on from the stage.
