Drew celebrates in the ring as we get replays from the match. Commentary hypes Drew’s victory, as well as the announcement that Ember Moon is cleared to return to action. We go back to two weeks ago when the news was revealed, and commentary hypes her return match as she takes on Peyton Royce next week, as well as the main event of the night as Asuka defends her Women’s Championship against Ruby Riot and Nikki Cross!Back from break, we get a video package hyping Aleister Black, the “dark side of NXT” who tells us to allow ourselves to fade…to Black. Back at ringside, Paul Ellering leads the Authors of Pain to the ring for the next match. Their opponents, Wilmer Freyday and Anthony Dominguez, are already in the ring, and this match is underway!

Ellering directs Rezar, who brings Freyday back into the ring before the Authors hit the Super Collider on the two men. They stand tall over their fallen opponents as Paul begins to speak, saying Heavy Machinery is as foolish as they are large. We have been here one year and are still undefeated. Have you not read the Book of Pain? We beat American Alpha! We beat TM61! We beat The Revival! And we beat DIY! My Authors of Pain want to write the first chapter in our Book of Dominance…and Heavy Machinery, you won’t even be a footnote. You don’t match up with my Authors—Paul is interrupted by Heavy Machinery, who make their way to the ring staring down the Authors of Pain. They go nose-to-nose with the champions as Paul directs them away. The three of them leave the ring, heading up the ring as Heavy Machinery’s music hits.We go back to last week when Roderick Strong’s address to the NXT Universe was interrupted by the NXT Champion, Bobby Roode, who mocks Strong before telling him not to play the “Bobby Roode lottery” because he’s not man enough to win. We see a tweet from Strong, saying all he needs is one shot at the title.
Commentary hypes the main event for tonight for the Women’s Championship, and up next The Velveteen Dream is in action!

Reverse Death Valley Driver into a cartwheel by Dream, who climbs to the top and hits an elbow drop for the win!Winner via pinfall: The Velveteen Dream
Dream celebrates in the ring as we get replays from the match. We go back to last week, when Itami went crazy on Oney Lorcan leading to a run-in by Kassius Ohno, who we talk to backstage. Kassius doesn’t know where his friendship with Hideo stands, but he sunk to Itami’s level. He shouldn’t have shoved Itami, he’s not a bad guy…he’s just dealing with frustration, and he needs to build a bridge and get over it. Ohno wants to lead by example, so he spoke to Mr. Regal and has an opportunity to prove himself against Aleister Black next week. Commentary hypes that, as well as our main event for the Women’s Championship, coming up next!– VIDEO PACKAGE: Ember Moon –
Commentary hypes Ember Moon taking on Peyton Royce next week, but back in the ring we see Nikki Cross already making her way to the ring for our main event.
