June 24 show
HIdeo Itami opened things up by coming out in a suit and sling. He was interviewed by Greg Hamilton in the ring and set a timetable of 3-4 months for his return. He said that he spent some time in Japan during his recovery and NXT is very popular over there. He said he will challenge whoever comes out of Kevin Owens vs. Finn Bálor with the NXT Championship.
Kevin Owens came out and said that its too bad Itami won't be competing in Japan. He said he's going to end Finn Bálor for good and leave Tokyo still NXT Champion. Owens said that he didn't injure Itami, noting that if he had, Itami wouldn't be standing there. Owens wanted an apology for Itami calling him a bad person in a promo several weeks ago.
Itami said that Owens is a great champion but a terrible human being. Owens said that if he's going to be blamed for Itami's injury, he might as well make it worth his while. Owens began to embark toward the ring, but Finn Bálor ran out and attacked Owens on the ramp. Before long, Rhyno came out and laid Bálor out.

July 8 show
1. NXT Women's Champion Sasha Banks and Charlotte beat Dana Brooke and Emma. The deal was that Sasha couldn't find a partner but Charlotte came out to fill the role. Afterwards, Charlotte challenged Banks to a title match the following week and Sasha accepted. The two shook hands, so it appears Sasha is a babyface.

1. NXT Tag Team Champions Blake and Murphy over Sawyer Fulton and Angelo Dawkins in a non-title match. Blake and Murphy put an extra beating on Fulton post-match.
Sami Zayn was out in street clothes and a sling. He said he recently underwent shoulder surgery and just wanted to come out and let everyone know that he hasn't forgotten about them and said it sounds like they hadn't forgotten him either. He said that 2014 was the best year of his career and 2015 has been the worst.
Zayn admitted that he probably will not be back before the end of the year, but he said he's not done, he's going to come back better than ever and take back the NXT Title. He said there's no better motivator than revenge on Kevin Owens. He said their careers have been linked forever and it'll be that way for the next dozen years. Zayn said that he's targeting Owens upon his return.
2. NXT Women's Champion Sasha Banks defeated Charlotte to retain the NXT Women's Championship. This was a very good match and the two ladies ended the show with a hug.
